When Stuck
When Stuck diagnoses why you're stuck and routes you to the matching technique. It maps six stuck-types—complexity, innovation gaps, recurring patterns, forced assumptions, scale uncertainty, and code bugs—to their corresponding skills, plus combinations when one approach isn't enough.
When Stuck routes you to the right problem-solving technique based on your specific type of stuck-ness.

When stuck debugging code, how does When Stuck help me move forward?
When Stuck diagnoses why you're stuck and routes you to the matching technique. It maps six stuck-types—complexity, innovation gaps, recurring patterns, forced assumptions, scale uncertainty, and code bugs—to their corresponding skills, plus combinations when one approach isn't enough. By identifying which type of roadblock you're facing, When Stuck connects you to the right structured help.
What are the six stuck-types When Stuck identifies?
When Stuck recognizes complexity, innovation gaps, recurring patterns, forced assumptions, scale uncertainty, and code bugs. Each stuck-type has a corresponding skill or technique designed to address that specific kind of impasse. When Stuck maps your situation to one or more of these categories so you get targeted guidance rather than generic advice.
How do I know which technique When Stuck will route me to?
When Stuck diagnoses your stuck-type first. Once it identifies whether you're facing complexity, innovation gaps, recurring patterns, forced assumptions, scale uncertainty, or code bugs, it routes you to the matching skill. If your roadblock involves multiple stuck-types, When Stuck can recommend combinations of techniques to break through.
Can When Stuck help when I'm stuck and don't know what to do next?
Yes. When Stuck is designed for exactly that scenario. It receives your situation, diagnoses the underlying stuck-type, and provides structured guidance and next steps. By mapping your problem to one of six stuck-types and their corresponding skills, When Stuck gives you a clear path forward instead of leaving you uncertain.
What if my coding problem involves multiple stuck-types?
When Stuck handles combinations. If your roadblock spans more than one stuck-type—say, both complexity and recurring patterns—When Stuck can route you to multiple matching techniques. This ensures you get comprehensive help tailored to all the layers of your impasse, not just one dimension.
