What problem does it solve? Leaders often face high-stakes strategic questions—where to compete, how to win, what to stop doing—without a disciplined process, resulting in generic framework dumps or unfounded bets. This Skill structures company-level strategy decisions with explicit assumptions, evidence, and trade-offs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Strategic Decision Framework: Walks through defining the competitive game, identifying outcome-driving variables, generating materially different options, and recommending one direction with explicit non-goals. - Strategic Lenses: Applies positioning, Five Forces, Jobs-to-be-Done, TAM/SAM/SOM, beachhead sequencing, scenario analysis, and build vs buy vs partner reasoning only where they clarify the decision. - Decision Rules & Failure Modes: Tests moats, beachheads, and optionality against heuristics while avoiding SWOT theatre, TAM-as-revenue fallacies, and false precision. - Use Case: A startup founder deciding whether to build a payments capability in-house or partner can use this Skill to weigh differentiation, speed, and reversibility, then produce a handoff with milestones and kill conditions. ## Quick Start Use the executive-strategy skill to evaluate whether we should enter the European market next year or double down on our current beachhead segment.
