Purposedifferent
Plans often contain assumptions that were never openly stated and remain dangerous precisely because of that. Assumption Surfacing makes these silent premises visible and prioritizes which of them carry the initiative or could sink it.When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review.
