# Worst Method Inversion

Design worst possible solution → extract insights → invert.

## 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 |
|--------|------|
| inversion-protocol | Reverse → extract → build constructive alternatives |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| worst-case-design | Design the worst possible solution in detail |
| inversion-extraction | Extract why it's bad → what the opposite implies |
| constructive-rebellion | Build constructive solutions from extracted insights |
| destruction-synthesis | Synthesize inversion outputs |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Define worst**: Use worst-case-design to create a detailed terrible solution
2. **Analyze failure**: Identify exactly WHY each element makes it bad
3. **Extract principles**: Use inversion-extraction to find the inverse principles
4. **Research**: Search for domains where the inverse principles are already applied
5. **Build solutions**: Use constructive-rebellion to form viable alternatives
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 |
| --- | --- |
| inversion-protocol | Reverse statements → extract insights → build constructive alternatives. Systematic inversion pipeline from negation to innovation. |

## 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. |
| destruction-synthesis | Synthesize all assumption destruction outputs into structured destructive innovation report. |
| inversion-extraction | Extract constructive insights from worst solutions. Transform failure analysis into innovation directions. |
| worst-case-design | Design the worst possible solution. Deliberate failure engineering to reveal hidden constraints and inversion opportunities. |
