Technology toolkit re-use is an extension problem. E.g. Julius Cesar's guide for building army camps using common agricultural approaches of the time. The use of steam engine manufacturing toolkit for railroads, steam ships, etc.

Technology choice or development is a lifting problem. E.g. discovery/choice of the right data set for a desired ML application (see IBM's recent failure vs TikTok's success).

In the LRRH narrative we see the failure of an existing solution to the extension problem, i.e. the werwolf destroys the girl's ability to deliver the medicine to her grandma.
