occams-razor

Choose simpler explanations over complex ones when both explain the evidence equally well, avoiding unnecessary assumptions

ogsm-framework

Translate long-term vision into executable action through one-page strategic alignment of Objectives, Goals, Strategies, and Measures

okrs

Goal-setting framework using qualitative Objectives and quantitative Key Results to align teams, drive ambitious outcomes, and measure progress

online-learning

Online learning updates models continuously as new data arrives, one sample at a time or in mini-batches, without retraining from scratch

only-paranoid-survive

Detect and navigate strategic inflection points by cultivating paranoid attention to 10X forces when industry fundamentals are about to change dramatically

ooda-loop

Outmaneuver competition by cycling through observe-orient-decide-act faster than opponents, operating inside their decision-making tempo

opportunity-cost

Every choice has a hidden price - the value of the next best alternative you gave up to pursue it

opportunity-solution-trees

Visual framework for mapping how product solutions connect to customer opportunities and business outcomes, ensuring team alignment

optimism-bias

Systematic tendency to overestimate likelihood of positive outcomes and underestimate negative ones, leading to unrealistic planning and risk assessment

orders-of-magnitude

Mental model for making rough estimates by thinking in powers of 10, enabling quick reasoning about scale, feasibility, and relative importance

outcome-based-roadmaps

Strategic communication tool focused on problems to solve and outcomes to achieve rather than feature lists with dates

outside-view-inside-view

Forecast by comparing to similar past cases (outside view) instead of analyzing unique project details (inside view) - cures planning fallacy

overconfidence-effect

Systematic tendency to overestimate one's knowledge, abilities, and the precision of predictions, leading to excessive risk-taking and poor calibration

pareidolia

Understand that seeing faces and familiar patterns in ambiguous stimuli is a brain feature, not a meaningful signal - use this awareness to avoid false positives in pattern-dependent analysis

pareto-principle

Focus on the vital few inputs generating disproportionate results while eliminating the trivial many consuming resources - identify high-leverage activities, power law distributions, and 80/20 patterns when prioritizing tasks, allocating resources, or…

peak-end-rule

Predict and shape memory formation by focusing on peak moments and endings rather than duration or average experience

performance-optimization-frameworks

Systematically maximize efficiency, improve speed, and enhance responsiveness through profiling, performance budgets, bottleneck identification, and iterative optimization - apply measurement-driven approaches to reduce latency, increase throughput, and…

personal-networks

Platforms where a person's identity and reputation are tied to the product, creating emotional lock-in through investment in online identity

personal-utility-networks

Need-to-have tools tied to real-life identities for essential daily communication and coordination, creating lock-in through practical necessity

pestle-analysis

Systematically identify and assess macro-environmental forces (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental) that impact organizational strategy

phase-transitions

Sudden state change at critical thresholds where small incremental changes trigger rapid, often irreversible transformation

physical-networks

Physical network effects created when physical nodes are connected through physical infrastructure, creating nearly insurmountable barriers to competition

picture-superiority

Replace text with images when information must be remembered long-term

platform-network-effects

Build developer ecosystems when value comes from third-party complements, not direct transactions

playing-to-win

Five-question strategy cascade framework for making integrated strategic choices from winning aspiration to management systems, from P&G's transformation

pmf-engine-sean-ellis

Systematic measurement of product-market fit using the 40% disappointment threshold and follow-up questions to guide product iteration

poppers-falsifiability

Scientific theories must be testable and capable of being proven false

porters-five-forces

Systematically assess the competitive intensity and attractiveness of an industry by analyzing five fundamental forces that shape competition and profitability

power-laws

Non-linear relationships where a small number of inputs drive the vast majority of outputs

powerful

Patty McCord's Netflix culture framework pairing radical freedom with radical responsibility through context not control

Human irrationality is not random but systematic and predictable, with people consistently deviating from rational decision-making in specific patterns

price-elasticity

Measure demand sensitivity when deciding to raise, lower, or maintain prices

pricing-strategy-models

Strategic pricing frameworks align price with delivered value, leverage cognitive biases, and structure offers to maximize average deal size and conversions

principal-agent-problem

Conflicts arising when one party (agent) makes decisions on behalf of another (principal), but their interests diverge and information is asymmetric

principles-based-thinking

Codify and apply core principles to make consistent decisions across diverse situations rather than relying on rules or intuition

prisoners-dilemma

Recognize situations where individual rational choices lead to collectively worse outcomes - core model for cooperation vs. defection dynamics
