A Wardley Map visualizes the value chain from user need through components to evolution stages, placing each element from Genesis to Commodity. It clarifies strategic ambiguity by showing component movement and enabling teams to decide where to invest or commoditize.

To create a Wardley Map, load a company-context.md file and draft the initial value chain with the user need at the top. Position each component from Genesis to Commodity, add movement notes, and define alert triggers for future reassessments.

Yes, the mapping process relies on a company-context.md file to establish the baseline. It defines component ownership, initial positions on the evolution axis, and alert triggers for ongoing strategic governance and reassessment.

Yes, the mapping process supports a Review mode specifically for updating component positions on the evolution axis. It enables teams to identify moving components, adjust strategic plays, and reassess inertia points when market shifts occur.

Alert triggers act as strategic tripwires for future reassessment of the value chain. They monitor moving components along the evolution axis, prompting updates to the company-context.md and re-evaluating plays when market shifts happen.

Diagnostic mapping builds the value chain from scratch to establish baseline evolution stages. Alert-driven reassessments respond to triggered tripwires, updating component positions and strategic plays within the existing company-context.md for ongoing governance.
