Strategy — focus the difference
Name the one thing that changes what you build next.
Strategy is a choice about where not to spend your life. Find the constraint that matters, choose a principle that protects the good, and let one small test meet reality before momentum hardens into commitment.

Strategy card
Use one card for one consequential choice. A strategy remains a hypothesis until evidence survives the declared review.
- Valuable change
- Who should move from what state to what better state?
- Binding constraint
- What one obstacle most limits that change now?
- Governing principle
- What rule will focus action and protect what matters?
- Smallest decisive test
- What reversible move could confirm or contradict the strategy?
- Review
- Which signal and date will make you continue, change, park, or stop?

Take one person, one problem, and one test through a ten-step path that keeps review and stop decisions visible.
