[Verse 1]
When requests arrive at my desk each morning
Task level asks what needs fixing now
But symptoms masquerade as solutions
While deeper currents pull us down somehow
[Chorus]
Five levels deep, five levels wide
Task to process, systems collide
Organization meets the street
Where market forces compete
Dig beneath what meets your eye
Five levels deep to clarify
[Verse 2]
Process level maps the workflow rivers
How this task connects to bigger streams
System level shows the intersection
Where databases talk to API dreams
[Chorus]
Five levels deep, five levels wide
Task to process, systems collide
Organization meets the street
Where market forces compete
Dig beneath what meets your eye
Five levels deep to clarify
[Verse 3]
Organization level asks the question
What business goal does this system serve
Market level reads the wind direction
External pressures that bend the curve
[Bridge]
Specification stops at task level one
Treats the fever, leaves disease undone
But navigate all five and you will find
Root solutions, not the Band-Aid kind
[Chorus]
Five levels deep, five levels wide
Task to process, systems collide
Organization meets the street
Where market forces compete
Dig beneath what meets your eye
Five levels deep to clarify
[Outro]
From ambiguity to crystal sight
Five levels deep makes problems right
