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
component-decomposition	Identify components and trimming candidates
combination-mapping	Map function redistribution options

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
function-model-construction	Build functional model with useful/harmful annotations
trimming-execution	Progressive removal with function verification
recombination-generation	Reassemble trimmed system
structural-synthesis	Synthesize trimming outcomes

Execution Guidance

1. Model: Build complete function model via function-model-construction
2. Identify candidates: Use component-decomposition to find trimming targets
3. Rank: Prioritize components by harmful-function ratio and replaceability
4. Trim: Execute trimming-execution SOP progressively
5. Redistribute: Assign orphaned functions to remaining components
6. Synthesize: Produce simplified system via structural-synthesis

Available Tactics

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

Tactic	When to use
component-decomposition	Decompose system into functional components, identify dependencies, and surface trimming candidates.

Available SOPs

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

SOP	When to use
function-model-construction	Build substance-field functional model of a system, annotating useful, harmful, insufficient, and excessive interactions.
structural-synthesis	Synthesize all structural transformation outputs into a coherent, ranked idea report with lineage tracking.
trimming-execution	Progressively remove components from a system while verifying function preservation through redistribution.
