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 |
|---|
| provocation-generation | Generate PO provocations from negated axioms |
| assumption-enumeration | Surface assumptions to negate |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|
| assumption-perturbation | Perturb each axiom and observe consequences |
| reversal-generation | Generate formal negations of axioms |
| constructive-rebellion | Build alternatives from negated axioms |
| destruction-synthesis | Synthesize negation outputs |
Execution Guidance
- Surface axioms: Use assumption-enumeration tactic to identify paradigmatic assumptions
- Apply PO: For each axiom, state "PO: [negation]" — suspend judgment
- Perturb: Run assumption-perturbation to observe system response under negation
- Extract movement: Use provocation-generation to find constructive directions
- Build alternatives: Use constructive-rebellion to form viable solutions
- Synthesize: Produce structured output via destruction-synthesis
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|
| creative-ideation-assumption-enumeration | Surface, perturb, and prioritize assumptions by disruption potential. Orchestrates assumption surfacing → perturbation → sacred cow identification → prioritization. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| constructive-rebellion | Build constructive alternatives from destructive negation. Transform violated assumptions into viable innovation directions. |
| creative-ideation-assumption-perturbation | Perturb each assumption, observe system response. Systematic stress-testing of assumptions to reveal fragility and opportunity. |
| destruction-synthesis | Synthesize all assumption destruction outputs into structured destructive innovation report. |
| reversal-generation | Systematically reverse positive statements to generate creative inversions. Produces reversed statements with initial associations. |
