This framework is so clarifying and is such a helpful and easy one to implement. I see shades of Ikigai; at the same time, your decision to lend it the shape of a wheel makes it at once visual and memorable.

I can see High Significance and High Value Creation. Example - you work in the non-profit sector, perhaps you don't earn a lot but the sense of fulfilment from seeing the difference your contribution makes to the world (non-monetary value creation) more than makes up for it.

Can also imagine Low Sig-High Value = boring job that pays too well. Or Low Sig-Low Val = admin work that neither pays well nor has an impact and hence can be easily automated

My sense is that value creation naturally follows high significance upward. I've this image of Van Gogh struggling to make ends meet but happy that he was doing his life's work. So, my question is, What would be an example of High Significance and Low Value Creation?
