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

Execution Guidance
- Near future (5yr): What's the obvious trajectory? What incremental improvements matter?
- Medium future (50yr): What paradigm shifts are possible? What's obsolete?
- Far future (500yr): What's the problem even about at civilizational scale?
- Backcast: From each future, what must be true NOW for that future to arrive?
- Extract: What insights from backcasting suggest novel present-day actions?
Minimum Yield
