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
analogy-extraction	Extract insights from empathic identification

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
personal-identification	First-person empathic identification
springboard-launch	Convert embodiment insights into solutions
synectics-synthesis	Synthesize personal analogy outputs

Execution Guidance

1. Select component: Choose the system element to embody
2. Enter role: Adopt first-person perspective of the component
3. Experience: Describe what you feel, want, resist, fear
4. Discover: Identify constraints and desires invisible from outside
5. Extract: Convert embodiment insights into design principles
6. Iterate: Embody different components for multiple perspectives

Available SOPs

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

SOP	When to use
personal-identification	First-person empathic identification with a system or component. Produces experience description and design insights from embodiment.
springboard-launch	Convert analogy insights into concrete feasible solutions. Transform abstract connections into actionable mechanisms.
synectics-synthesis	Synthesize all synectics outputs into a structured idea report. Combines results from all analogy types and excursion processes.
