Inputs Required

Current business context, key challenge or bottleneck, market/customer evidence, major constraints, and the existing plan or strategy draft to evaluate.

Output Artifact

A refined strategy assessment (or strategy draft) structured around: Diagnosis (core challenge), Guiding Policy (approach), and Coherent Actions (aligned actions)—with weak/unsupported strategy elements removed.

When to use this

Use this framework when you need to evaluate or shape a strategy for a business, product, or initiative and want to separate real strategy from vague goals, slogans, or ambition statements. It is especially useful before finalizing a plan, roadmap, or major investment decision.
