HARD-GATE

Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.

Available Tactics

Tactic	Role
life-principles-application	Apply evolutionary principles as design constraints
analogy-extraction	Extract transferable evolution mechanisms

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
evolution-mechanism-transfer	Map evolution mechanisms to design operations
abstraction-to-design	Abstract evolutionary principles to design operators
emulation-generation	Generate solutions using evolutionary operators
biomimicry-synthesis	Synthesize final output

Execution Guidance

1. Identify mechanisms: Select relevant evolution mechanisms (natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, co-evolution)
2. Map to design: Use evolution-mechanism-transfer to create design operator mappings
3. Abstract: Use abstraction-to-design for generalizable design operators
4. Apply: Use emulation-generation to apply operators to solution populations
5. Synthesize: Produce structured evolution-inspired design report

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
life-principles-application	Apply life's principles as design constraints. Orchestrates ecosystem-pattern-extraction → evolution-mechanism-transfer → abstraction-to-design.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
abstraction-to-design	Abstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering.
biomimicry-synthesis	Synthesize all biomimicry outputs into a structured idea report. Integrate biological strategies, design principles, and technical solutions.
emulation-generation	Generate technical solutions emulating biological strategies. Bridge from design principle to concrete implementation.
evolution-mechanism-transfer	Map evolution mechanisms to design operations. Translate selection, mutation, drift, radiation into design operators.
