Structure an ambiguous business decision, test competing explanations, and recommend a course using evidence. Use for growth strategy, market entry, market sizing, competitive analysis, SWOT, issue trees, business models, and portfolio choices. For execution of an approved direction, use implementation-planning when available.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Strategic Analysis

Produce an answer the decision-maker can use and a supporting argument a skeptical reviewer can inspect. Start at the user's current stage: framing a question, diagnosing a cause, evaluating options, or challenging a recommendation. Do not restart completed analysis unless a material inconsistency changes the decision.

## Frame the work

Identify the decision, decision-maker, timeframe, success criteria, and constraints from the supplied context. Respect the requested format and length. Distinguish hard constraints (cash, legal eligibility, capacity, deadlines) from preferences that can be traded off. Screen infeasible options before comparing attractive features.

Use what is available. Mark missing information and proceed with work it does not block. Ask only when the missing answer materially changes the decision and cannot be handled with a transparent assumption or conditional recommendation. A request for a draft or an illustrative method does not require a complete client data room. Label fictional examples at their point of use.

## Diagnose and compare

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add anotb/management-consulting-plugin/strategic-analysis@sha256:e06077fe86911553

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
