A.3.1:4.0a - Strategy wording by claim position

Treat strategy as ordinary source wording until the sentence’s claim position is clear. Do not mint U.Strategy.

When the wording names a reusable way of deciding or acting under stated applicability, it identifies a U.Method. A clinical treatment strategy, manufacturing setup strategy, search strategy, or negotiation strategy qualifies only when it states the reusable action, participant meanings, preconditions, intended result, and bounds.

When a protocol, playbook, program, diagram, or prose passage describes that way, that episteme may be a U.MethodDescription. Reusable strategizing can itself be a U.Method; a dated strategy workshop, search episode, or planning session is a Work individual only when its A.15.1 occurrence basis is grounded.

When the sentence is about choosing among candidates, use A.19.SelectorMechanism and G.5 for the actual criteria, policy, and selector outcome. The label strategy does not replace those objects or prove that a reusable method has been stated.

Leave quoted or explanatory strategy wording alone when it carries no FPF claim. The repair is complete when a reader can say what the sentence asserts and which pattern contains the defining content for that assertion, not when every occurrence has been replaced.
