MECE + Pyramid Principle
매 한 줄
"매 MECE 는 thinking, Pyramid 는 communication". MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) 는 문제 분해 원칙, Pyramid Principle 은 결론-우선 communication structure. Barbara Minto (1973) 의 McKinsey 표준. 2026 LLM 시대에도 prompt structuring / report writing 의 backbone.
매 핵심
매 MECE
- Mutually Exclusive: 각 카테고리 겹침 없음.
- Collectively Exhaustive: 모든 가능성 포함.
- 2x2 matrix, decision tree, issue tree 의 기본.
매 Pyramid Principle
- Top: governing thought / answer first.
- Middle: 3-5 supporting arguments (MECE).
- Bottom: data, evidence, examples.
- SCQA opener: Situation → Complication → Question → Answer.
매 응용
- Consulting deliverable / executive summary.
- Research paper structure.
- LLM prompt design (system + sections).
- Code review write-up.
💻 패턴
Issue tree decomposition
class Node:
def __init__(self, q, children=None):
self.q = q
self.children = children or []
# Profit decline 분석
tree = Node("Why is profit declining?", [
Node("Revenue down?", [
Node("Volume down?"),
Node("Price down?"),
]),
Node("Cost up?", [
Node("COGS up?"),
Node("OpEx up?"),
]),
])
# 매 each level MECE
MECE validator
def is_mece(categories: list[set]) -> tuple[bool, bool]:
universe = set.union(*categories)
# ME: pairwise disjoint
me = all(not (a & b) for i, a in enumerate(categories)
for b in categories[i+1:])
# CE: union covers universe
ce = set.union(*categories) == universe
return me, ce
Pyramid outliner (LLM)
def pyramid_outline(question: str) -> dict:
prompt = f"""Structure as Pyramid Principle:
1. Governing answer (1 sentence).
2. 3 MECE supporting arguments.
3. For each, 2-3 evidence bullets.
Question: {question}
Output JSON."""
resp = client.messages.create(
model="claude-opus-4-7",
max_tokens=2048,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
)
return json.loads(resp.content[0].text)
SCQA opener generator
def scqa(situation, complication, question, answer):
return (
f"**Situation**: {situation}\n"
f"**Complication**: {complication}\n"
f"**Question**: {question}\n"
f"**Answer**: {answer}"
)
2x2 framework
def matrix_2x2(items, axis_x, axis_y):
quadrants = {"high-high": [], "high-low": [],
"low-high": [], "low-low": []}
for item in items:
x = "high" if axis_x(item) else "low"
y = "high" if axis_y(item) else "low"
quadrants[f"{x}-{y}"].append(item)
return quadrants
Top-down report builder
def build_report(answer, args: list[dict]):
out = [f"# {answer}\n"]
for i, arg in enumerate(args, 1):
out.append(f"## {i}. {arg['claim']}")
for ev in arg["evidence"]:
out.append(f"- {ev}")
return "\n".join(out)
매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Problem decomposition | Issue tree (MECE at each level) |
| Executive deck | Pyramid + SCQA + 3 args |
| Categorization | 2x2 matrix or MECE list |
| LLM task | Pyramid in system prompt |
기본값: Issue tree 분석 → Pyramid 로 communicate.

🤖 LLM 활용
언제: report drafting, prompt structuring, decomposition assistance. 언제 X: creative / divergent ideation — 매 over-constrains.
❌ 안티패턴
- False MECE: overlap 있는데 disjoint 라 가정.
- Bottom-up dump: data 먼저 늘어놓고 conclusion 마지막 → executive 가 lost.
- Over-decomposition: 7+ branches at one level → cognitive overload.
- Forced 3 categories: 매 항상 3 으로 강제 → exhaustiveness 깨짐.
🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Minto 1973 "The Pyramid Principle", McKinsey training docs, HBR 2019).
- 신뢰도 A.
