| Criterion |  Decision Making Argument Mapping |  Product Strategy SMART Goals |  Product Strategy OKRs |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When statements, evidence, and counterarguments get mixed up, a debate quickly loses its structure. Argument Mapping breaks a thesis down into its reasoning and makes visible what it really rests on. | When goals are formulated too generally, it brings measurability, direction, and timing into shape. It prevents intentions from staying without clear verification. | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. |
