A term I come across fairly often online is ‘reverse engineering’.
Here’s a definition:
It’s working out how something was (or might have been) made or achieved by looking at the result first and then trying to identify how the creator reached that point by looking at the process in reverse order. This might be done to try to duplicate the process and aim for similar success.
An example, in plainer language, could be looking at how Ed Sheeran got to play Glastonbury’s main stage (in 2017) after playing the festival’s smallest stage (June 2011) after playing at the Camden Barfly (in April 2011).
Copying a successful path might not lead to much of course, but studying several might at least help to generate a few decent ideas and fuel ambition.
