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
movement-extraction	Extract directions from Green Hat output

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
green-hat-session	Pure creative output with judgment suspended
movement-operation	Extract directions from creative output
alternatives-generation	Generate alternatives from hat perspectives
lateral-synthesis	Synthesize six hats outputs

Execution Guidance

1. White Hat: Gather facts and information about the problem
2. Green Hat: Run green-hat-session SOP — pure creative generation, no judgment
3. Yellow Hat: Find value in Green Hat ideas (positive assessment)
4. Black Hat: Identify risks and difficulties (deferred, not during generation)
5. Red Hat: Gut feelings about which ideas resonate
6. Blue Hat: Organize and select — process control
7. Synthesize: Produce structured output via lateral-synthesis

Available Tactics

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

Tactic	When to use
movement-extraction	Extract constructive directions from provocations via 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects).

lateral-synthesis	Synthesize all lateral thinking intermediate outputs into a structured idea report.
movement-operation	Extract constructive directions from PO provocations using 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects).
