Selection Principles

1. Choose the framework that directly answers the core question.
2. Prefer simpler frameworks when data is limited.
3. Maximum 3 frameworks per analysis to avoid information overload.
4. Always justify the selection rationale.
5. Read detailed definitions in references/ only when applying a specific framework:
   • Read references/strategy-decision.md when applying SWOT, 5 Forces, Decision Matrix, BCG, or Risk Matrix
   • Read references/marketing-innovation.md when applying STP, BMC, Lean Canvas, Customer Journey, or Design Thinking
   • Read references/problem-solving-process.md when applying Logic Tree, Issue Tree, 5 Whys, Fishbone, PDCA, or ECRS

Quality Gates

• Framework definition is accurate and complete.
• Selection rationale matches the business objective.
• Recommended frameworks do not exceed 3.
• Reference files are conditionally referenced (not loaded unconditionally).

If any gate fails: identify the specific issue, correct the framework selection or definition, and re-validate.

Gotchas

• フレームワークは「考える道具」であって「答え」ではない。フレームワークを埋めることが目的になってはならない
• 日本語のフレームワーク名（空雨傘、AIDMA等）と英語名が混在する場合がある。レポートでは統一すること
• BCGマトリクスとGEマトリクスは用途が似ているが、GEは9セルで精緻、BCGは4セルで迅速。データ量で使い分ける

Validation Loop

1. フレームワーク情報を提供
2. チェック:
   • 定義が正確か（構成要素の漏れがないか）
   • 選択理由が目的と合致しているか
   • 推奨フレームワーク数が3つ以内か
3. 不合格なら修正して再提供
