# Provocation and Movement

Generate PO provocations then extract useful directions via 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle extraction, focus difference, positive aspects).

## 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 (shared) |
| movement-extraction | Extract constructive directions from provocations |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| movement-operation | Apply 4 movement types to provocations |
| stepping-stone | Use impractical provocations as stepping stones |
| alternatives-generation | Generate alternatives from movement directions |
| lateral-synthesis | Synthesize provocation-movement outputs |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Generate provocations**: Use provocation-generation tactic to create PO statements
2. **Apply movement**: Run movement-extraction tactic on each provocation
3. **Stepping stones**: For impractical but interesting directions, use stepping-stone SOP
4. **Alternatives**: Generate concrete alternatives from movement directions
5. **Synthesize**: Produce structured output via lateral-synthesis

## Available Tactics

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

| Tactic | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| movement-extraction | Extract constructive directions from provocations via 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects). |

## Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| alternatives-generation | Generate alternatives for every known approach — ensure no approach goes unchallenged. |
| lateral-synthesis | Synthesize all lateral thinking intermediate outputs into a structured idea report. |
| movement-operation | Extract constructive directions from PO provocations using 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects). |
| stepping-stone | Use impractical ideas as stepping stones to reach practical solutions (de Bono Stepping Stone technique). |
