Strategic Positioning of the Nagamine Maya Logic System (MLS)

A Complementary Framework to Existing Team Analysis Models

Jo Nagamine’s Maya Logic System (MLS) is not designed to compete with traditional team diagnostic tools (such as IMO, GRPI, or standard psychological assessments). Instead, MLS functions as a Structural Foundation layer, designed to identify the fundamental, root causes of the functional deficiencies often flagged by existing frameworks.

The MLS perspective elevates the analysis from merely identifying the “symptoms” of an organization to understanding its underlying “structural constitution,” providing the objective logic needed for true problem-solving.

1. The Difference in Perspective: Structure vs. Activity

The complementary relationship between MLS and legacy models is based on a fundamental difference in their analytical focus:

Analysis LayerFrameworkDiagnostic FocusCore Question Addressed
I. Structural ConstitutionNagamine MLSOrganizational Resource Allocation, Tzolkin Directional Imbalances“Why is this problem occurring?” (Root Cause)
II. Process & ActivityIMO, GRPI, Psychological ModelsOn-site processes, goals, roles, interpersonal relations, communication“What is happening right now?” (Surface Symptoms)

2. The Logic of Complementation: Pinpointing the Root Cause

While conventional team analysis diagnoses surface symptoms (What), such as “unclear goals” or “interpersonal friction,” MLS reveals the structural inevitability (Why) that is causing those symptoms.

【Example: Stagnation in On-Site Activity】

StepDiagnostic Role
Legacy DiagnosisFlags the symptom that “tasks are stagnating during the execution (Process) stage.”
MLS Complementation“The structural analysis reveals that the activity flow from Planning (North) to Execution (West) is bottlenecked at -60.00. The root cause is a structural imbalance where the Planning side’s resource supply is chronically over capacity compared to the Execution side.” (Identifies the Root Cause).

By utilizing this structural logic, MLS transforms a finding from an existing tool—like “there is communication friction”—into an actionable strategic insight: “This friction is a necessary by-product of a structural imbalance where the talent with ‘Action’ energy is improperly positioned, causing an energy clash.”

3. The Strategic Positioning of MLS

MLS acts as the Structural Analysis Layer required to use existing diagnostic results more deeply and strategically.

This complementary approach provides companies with exceptional value:

  • Fundamental Solutions: MLS tackles the core issues of resource imbalance and structural flaws in activity flow, moving beyond superficial fixes like communication workshops.
  • Optimal Investment: MLS data pinpoints the exact areas where process improvement is required, ensuring that resources dedicated to organizational development are deployed with maximum effectiveness.
  • Objective Validity: The immutable structural logic based on birth date data provides an unshakeable, objective foundation for discussions about “team dynamics,” which are often swayed by subjective feelings and personal biases.

MLS enables companies to transform their operations from being reliant on “trial-and-error” to adopting an approach based on “structural design.”
