Trade-Off Clarity
Every strategic option includes explicit trade-offs — cost vs speed, quality vs scale, short-term vs long-term. Leaders make better decisions when trade-offs are transparent, not hidden.
Resource Requirements
Each option includes resource requirements — budget, headcount, skills, technology, and timeline. Know the investment required for each strategic direction before committing.
Risk Assessment
Each option includes risk identification and mitigation strategies. Understand not just what could go right, but what could go wrong and how to manage it.
