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 |
|---|---|
| analogy-extraction | Extract structural analogies from cross-domain sources |
| excursion-orchestration | Full excursion if direct search insufficient |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|---|
| direct-analogy-generation | Generate analogies from nature/tech/society |
| analogy-chain | Deepen promising analogies through layers |
| springboard-launch | Convert best analogies into concrete solutions |
| synectics-synthesis | Synthesize final analogy report |
Execution Guidance
- Abstract the problem: Extract the core functional/structural challenge
- Search domains: Nature → Technology → Society → History
- Map structure: For each analogy, map structural correspondences
- Evaluate fit: Score analogies by structural depth and transferability
- Deepen: Chain the best 2-3 analogies to deeper levels
- Extract: Convert analogy insights into solution directions
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| excursion-orchestration | Orchestrate the excursion sequence — departure into unrelated domain, force-fit discoveries back to problem, launch springboard ideas. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| analogy-chain | Chain analogies to deeper levels (3-5 layers). Each layer reveals new aspects and insights not visible at the surface. |
| direct-analogy-generation | Find direct analogies from nature/tech/society that share structural properties with the problem. Produces analogy list with structural mappings. |
| springboard-launch | Convert analogy insights into concrete feasible solutions. Transform abstract connections into actionable mechanisms. |
| synectics-synthesis | Synthesize all synectics outputs into a structured idea report. Combines results from all analogy types and excursion processes. |
