Search the Keywords & Search Queries column for the working difficulty or result you recognize. Each row links to one full pattern. Dependencies name potentially useful contributions, not compulsory prerequisites. STR identifiers are stable addresses; Parts and the § column show reading placement, not work order. A dash in Status means no separate per-pattern status is declared.

Part I - Locate the Strategic Concern and Uncertainty

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
1	STR.1 - Identify the Strategic Decision, System, and Scope	—	Keywords: decision, strategic subject, horizon, authority, scope.

2	STR.2 - Assess How Material Changes Affect Strategic Assumptions and Choices	—	Keywords: changed premise, price, evidence, capability, source impact. Queries: “What does this change affect?” “Can the current answer continue?” Trace the qualified change to its actual strategic use and preserve independent results.	FPF A.10/10.1; STR.1, STR.3, STR.12 for affected returns
3	STR.3 - Frame Uncertainty and the Strategic Problem	—	Keywords: uncertainty, framing, problem, opportunity, values. Queries: “What problem are we trying to resolve?” “Is this missing evidence, a disputed value or missing authority?” Form a decision-relevant question without making reframing compulsory.	PSD.3, PSD.10; FPF C.11; STR.1/2
4	STR.4 - Construct Scenarios for Strategic Choices	—	Keywords: scenarios, plausible futures, causal conditions, signposts. Queries: “Which different futures can change the preferred direction?” “Would one qualified forecast suffice?” Construct discriminating conditions without invented probabilities.	STR.3; FPF C.17 when characterization is needed

Part II - Construct Feasible Directions and Options

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
5	STR.5 - Generate Strategic Directions	—	Keywords: direction, unsettled contribution, strategic filter, beneficiaries, exclusions. Queries: “What could be worthwhile when no contribution is settled?” “Which proposals fit this direction?” Distinguish a provisional problem/contribution from a direction and its conditional filter.

6	STR.6 - Construct Strategic Option Families or Develop Reusable Material for Strategic Exploration	—	Keywords: options, families, unknown Method, material development, diversity, stepping stones, target transfer. Queries: “How can we find a credible way to obtain this contribution?” “What can this reusable material become?” “What changes when a way meets another problem?” Recover explained whole candidates or examined continuations with gaps and carrying costs.	STR.5/8; FPF C.38, C.18 where their claims apply
7	STR.7 - Decide Whether and How to Experiment While Preserving Strategic Options	—	Keywords: experiment, inquiry, evidence value, exposure, stop. Queries: “Will another test change this choice enough to justify its burden?” “Can current evidence settle it?” Design only a worthwhile bounded discriminating inquiry.	STR.6/8; FPF C.11, C.11.DUA; PSD.10
8	STR.8 - Relate Capabilities, Dependencies, Business Models, and Initiatives	—	Keywords: capability, business model, dependencies, initiative, provider. Queries: “What must actually work to deliver this contribution?” “Is the gap in skill, access, organization or means?” Connect the promise to feasible or missing contributions.	STR.5/6; OCE/HCD/SYSE/OPS results; FPF E.18.NET for a needed cross-flow network

Part III - Compare and Commit Within Authority

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
9	STR.9 - Compare Strategic Options for Robustness and Option Value	—	Keywords: robustness, nonlinear exposure, regret, option value, reversal, whole cost. Queries: “Which option remains useful across these conditions?” “What can the central estimate conceal?” “What would reverse this preference?” Compare the same question and horizon with explicit flexibility costs.	STR.6/8; PSD.12; FPF C.11.CRC when comparison is missing
10	STR.10 - Compare Strategic Commitments and Affected-System Consequences	—	Keywords: commitment, consequences, affected Systems, protected limits. Queries: “What do we expose or sacrifice by committing?” “Who bears the effects?” Compare whole commitments without compensating away a binding condition.	STR.8/9; PSD.9/11; FPF A.1.CSD, C.11.DUA where needed
11	STR.11 - Select Strategy, Portfolio Commitments, and Assumptions	—	Keywords: choice, portfolio, retained alternatives, joint use, authorization. Queries: “What is actually selected and funded?” “Can a small preparation leave the larger direction open?” Separate recommendation, membership use and bounded commitment.	STR.9/10; PSD.10; FPF C.11, G.5 for the applicable set use

Part IV - Revisit and Sustain Strategic Practice

§	ID & Title	Status	Keywords & Search Queries	Dependencies
12	STR.12 - Observe Signals to Continue or Reconsider Strategic Direction and Commitments	—	Keywords: signals, reconsideration, pivot, pause, stop, continue. Queries: “What does this observation change?” “Who may respond and by when?” Distinguish warning, renewed judgement and an authorized response.	STR.11; PSD.14; FPF A.10.1 for multiple changed-source uses
13	STR.13 - Choose and Maintain Strategy Methods	—	Keywords: methods for strategy work, practical worth, variants, provenance, reuse. Queries: “Which search or comparison Method is worth using here?” “Did the Method change or only its description?” Maintain the strategic repertoire; use STR.6 for the subject’s missing obtaining way.
