Strategy Principles Framework ReadmeFollow connected methods from a strategic question to a bounded answer.
PrefaceUnderstand the shared problem, Method connections, evidence boundaries, rationale and direct-use alternatives.
Cross-pattern applicationsFollow SensorCo and two unlike cases through consequential choices, limits and sufficient stops.

Part I - Locate the Strategic Concern and Uncertainty

§ID & TitleStatusKeywords & Search QueriesDependencies
1STR.1 - Identify the Strategic Decision, System, and Scope—Keywords: decision, strategic subject, horizon, authority, scope. Queries: “Whose strategy and which decision are we considering?” “Can a bounded frame finish without a new development project?” Identify the subject, receiving choice, affected interests and ordinary stop.FPF A.1.SCR, A.10; STR.2/3 when needed
2STR.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
3STR.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
4STR.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 & TitleStatusKeywords & Search QueriesDependencies
5STR.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.STR.3/4 where material; DOCA.2/3 for leads and problem/contribution; adequate DOCA.4/5 results
6STR.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
7STR.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
8STR.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 & TitleStatusKeywords & Search QueriesDependencies
9STR.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
10STR.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
11STR.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 & TitleStatusKeywords & Search QueriesDependencies
12STR.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
13STR.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.ME.14/15; FPF G.5, G.11 for applicable selection/refresh
14STR.14 - Reconcile Simultaneous Strategic Work Across Horizons and Scales—Keywords: simultaneous work, horizons, shared capacity, moved burden. Queries: “Can these commitments coexist?” “What does this local improvement displace?” Reconcile whole configurations while keeping different developing subjects and authorities distinct.STR.8–STR.11; FPF C.32.MWA, C.11.CRC; realization results
15STR.15 - Deliberately Continue and Change Strategy Culture—Keywords: culture, transmission, enactment, recognition, selection, memory. Queries: “What strategic practice is actually being continued or lost?” “Would a template change the real relation?” Support a bounded continuation, intervention or stop.FPF C.36; STR.13; OCE/HCD contributions when needed
