Strategy Memo Skill

Strategy is choosing what not to do. A real strategy memo makes a bet and names the sacrifices; a fake one is a list of goals everyone already agreed with. This skill follows the diagnosis → guiding policy → coherent actions structure, forces explicit non-goals, and ties the bet to leading indicators — so the team is aligned on a direction sharp enough to be wrong.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The strategic question — the choice or challenge this memo resolves.
• The situation — the honest diagnosis: the market, the competition, your real position and constraints.
• The bet — the approach you're choosing and what it's betting on being true.
• The trade-offs — what you'll deliberately not do or de-prioritise to make the bet.
