For millennia, lovers have been struggling to cope with the complexity and challenges of relationships, without any evidence-based project cycle management tools to guide their way. Unaware of their killer assumptions and completely unable to monitor their progress, no wonder that the history of romance has been one long litany of failure.
With that in mind, we present our major contribution to humanity: the Aid Leap Logframe of Love.
