SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Strategy teams often struggle to translate abstract goals into coherent, actionable choices that guide decisions and investments. This Skill provides a proven five-choice cascade (Winning Aspiration, Where to Play, How to Win, Capabilities, Management Systems) that aligns leadership discourse with concrete action and enables a consistent update of the company-context.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Five-choice cascade: a structured framework that ensures each decision reinforces the others and drives coherence across planning, execution, and measurement.
  • Modes: Diagnostic for building or rebuilding the full cascade, Review for tightening an existing cascade, and Alert Triggers for early warning signals.
  • Live integration: updates to company-context.md after each run, with a session log capturing decisions and future actions.
  • Suitable for governance cadences, quarterly strategy refreshes, or rapid strategy diagnosis in response to market shifts.

Quick Start

Start by running a Diagnostic session to draft and align the five choices of the cascade.
