SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Industries face uncertain, multi-curve dynamics that hinder long-range planning. analyze-trajectory generates a structured, codified view of market and technology lifecycles, Three Horizons portfolio overlays, discontinuities, Helmer Power Progression, and scenario planning in a single trajectory report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dual S-curve assessments (market adoption and technology) to reveal synchronization or desynchronization dynamics.
  • Three Horizons overlay across defined sub-segments, enabling resource allocation guidance.
  • Discontinuities cataloging with explicit year-range timing windows and leading indicators.
  • Helmer Power Progression mapping to open/Year 3/Year 5+/Closed windows for moat strategy handoffs.
  • Base/Bear/Bull scenarios with named, falsifiable swing variables for five-year planning.
  • Reconciliation with size-market data when available to align trajectory with growth rates.
  • Outputs the trajectory report as trajectory.md with provenance tags.

Quick Start

Provide an industry slug and optional market-sizing context to generate a five-year trajectory report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I forecast an industry trajectory using dual S-curves?

To forecast an industry trajectory, you provide an industry slug and optional market-sizing context to generate a report with dual market and technology S-curves, Three Horizons overlays, and discontinuities.

What is Power progression and how does it map to industry moats?

Power progression maps Helmer's seven powers to open, Year 3, Year 5+, and Closed windows, providing a structured moat strategy handoff timeline to reveal synchronization dynamics across market-facing industries.

How do I build base, bear, and bull scenarios for a five-year industry analysis?

Scenario planning generates Base, Bear, and Bull outcomes by defining named, falsifiable swing variables over a five-year planning horizon, reconciling the trajectories with available size-market growth rates.

Can I use this trajectory analysis for non-market-facing industries?

This trajectory analysis applies specifically to market-facing industries with five-year planning horizons. It imposes strict validation requiring at least three horizons and two discontinuities with explicit year windows.

How do I identify and time industry discontinuities for scenario planning?

You identify discontinuities by cataloging them with explicit year-range timing windows and leading indicators. The analysis requires at least two named discontinuities to validate the industry trajectory.

What format does the industry trajectory report output to?

The industry trajectory report outputs as a trajectory.md file. This markdown file includes provenance tags to trace the dual S-curves, Three Horizons, and Power progression data.
