Execution Guidance

1. White Hat (Facts): What data do we have? What data do we need? Pure information.
2. Red Hat (Emotions): Gut feelings, intuitions, emotional reactions — no justification needed.
3. Black Hat (Caution): Logical negative — risks, dangers, difficulties, problems.
4. Yellow Hat (Optimism): Logical positive — benefits, value, feasibility under best conditions.
5. Green Hat (Creativity): Alternatives, provocations, new ideas — lateral thinking.
6. Blue Hat (Process): Meta-thinking — what have we learned? What's next? Summary.
