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
combination-mapping	Enumerate parameter combinations
consistency-checking	CCA filtering
white-space-identification	Find unexplored regions

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
value-enumeration	Enumerate parameter values
matrix-construction	Build morphological field
consistency-pair-evaluation	Pairwise consistency evaluation
solution-space-reduction	CCA space reduction
path-generation	Generate solution paths
white-space-detection	Detect unexplored regions
combination-evaluation	Evaluate novel combinations
morphological-synthesis	Final synthesis

Execution Guidance

1. Problem structuring: Define problem boundaries and identify parameters
2. Morphological field: Build complete matrix via value-enumeration + matrix-construction
3. Cross-consistency analysis: Run consistency-checking tactic (pair-evaluation → reduction)
4. Solution exploration: Generate paths through consistent space, identify white spaces
5. Iteration: Refine parameters/values based on findings, repeat CCA
6. Synthesis: Produce comprehensive GMA report via morphological-synthesis

Available Tactics

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

Tactic	When to use
creative-ideation-consistency-checking	Pairwise consistency evaluation to reduce solution space by identifying and removing inconsistent combinations.
white-space-identification	Identify unexplored viable regions in the morphological matrix where no existing methods operate.

Available SOPs

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

SOP	When to use
combination-evaluation	Evaluate new combinations for feasibility and novelty
creative-ideation-consistency-pair-evaluation	Evaluate pairwise value consistency (logical/empirical/normative)
matrix-construction	Build n-dimensional morphological matrix
morphological-synthesis	Synthesize all morphological exploration outputs
path-generation	Generate combination paths through consistent space
solution-space-reduction	Apply CCA to remove inconsistent combinations
value-enumeration	Enumerate 3-5 values per parameter including extremes
white-space-detection	Identify matrix regions not covered by existing methods
