strategic-analysis

Apply hypothesis-driven MECE problem solving and named strategic analysis frameworks (Five Forces, PESTLE, 7S, VRIO, SWOT, Ansoff, Growth-Share Matrix, Value Chain, Business Model Canvas, Strategy Canvas, and others). Use when structuring complex problems, building issue trees, developing testable hypotheses, designing analytical workplans, applying framework-based analysis, competitive positioning, market assessment, organizational alignment review, growth strategy, or portfolio decisions. For broad or high-stakes strategic questions, apply two or more frameworks and synthesize across them. For specific, well-defined questions, one framework applied rigorously is better than two applied superficially.
