Map the route to the crown jewels PIVOT
A whiteboard diagram shows what connects to what, not the route that matters. Describe the estate, mark the foothold and the crown jewels, and PIVOT finds the easiest attack path and the fix that cuts the most.
The estate
Edges are A -> B : technique (difficulty). Mark footholds with entry: and crown jewels with target:. Chain hops with a -> b -> c.
The graph
How it works
Why the path, not the picture
A network diagram shows every connection at once, which is why it never answers the only question that matters in a review: given a foothold here, what is the easiest way to the domain controller, and what one fix removes the most routes? Those are a shortest-path and a cut-vertex problem, and a picture cannot do them in your head past a handful of nodes. PIVOT computes them, so you argue about the difficulty numbers, where your real judgement is, instead of tracing lines with a finger.
