HARD-GATE

Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.

Available Tactics

Tactic	Role
provocation-generation	Generate PO provocations from negated axioms
assumption-enumeration	Surface assumptions to negate

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
assumption-perturbation	Perturb each axiom and observe consequences
reversal-generation	Generate formal negations of axioms
constructive-rebellion	Build alternatives from negated axioms
destruction-synthesis	Synthesize negation outputs

Execution Guidance

1. Surface axioms: Use assumption-enumeration tactic to identify paradigmatic assumptions
2. Apply PO: For each axiom, state "PO: [negation]" — suspend judgment
3. Perturb: Run assumption-perturbation to observe system response under negation
4. Extract movement: Use provocation-generation to find constructive directions
5. Build alternatives: Use constructive-rebellion to form viable solutions
6. Synthesize: Produce structured output via destruction-synthesis

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
creative-ideation-assumption-enumeration	Surface, perturb, and prioritize assumptions by disruption potential. Orchestrates assumption surfacing → perturbation → sacred cow identification → prioritization.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
constructive-rebellion	Build constructive alternatives from destructive negation. Transform violated assumptions into viable innovation directions.
creative-ideation-assumption-perturbation	Perturb each assumption, observe system response. Systematic stress-testing of assumptions to reveal fragility and opportunity.
destruction-synthesis	Synthesize all assumption destruction outputs into structured destructive innovation report.
reversal-generation	Systematically reverse positive statements to generate creative inversions. Produces reversed statements with initial associations.
