## 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 insights from empathic identification |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| personal-identification | First-person empathic identification |
| springboard-launch | Convert embodiment insights into solutions |
| synectics-synthesis | Synthesize personal analogy outputs |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Select component**: Choose the system element to embody
2. **Enter role**: Adopt first-person perspective of the component
3. **Experience**: Describe what you feel, want, resist, fear
4. **Discover**: Identify constraints and desires invisible from outside
5. **Extract**: Convert embodiment insights into design principles
6. **Iterate**: Embody different components for multiple perspectives

## Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| personal-identification | First-person empathic identification with a system or component. Produces experience description and design insights from embodiment. |
| 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. |
