Produces a three-curve transition map (a declining present H1, a contested middle H2 read in two directions, an emerging future H3) with the actor located in it. Use when a group is stuck in a present-versus-future binary and needs to govern the managed decline of the old system and the cultivation of the new one at once. Not a single backward path from one fixed future, and not a set of ranked external futures.
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.

<!-- thinking-framework-skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills | Apache-2.0 --> # Three Horizons Most planning jumps straight from "now" to "the goal" and skips the messy middle, or it freezes into a present-versus-future binary where one camp defends the status quo and another chases a disruption. Three Horizons refuses both. The durable cognitive move is to hold three overlapping change curves on one time canvas at once - a declining present system (H1), a contested transition zone (H2), and an emerging desired future (H3) - locate the actor inside that picture, and read the transition dynamics rather than treating the future as a single forecast or a single endpoint. Its signature, the part no neighboring method has, is reading the H2 middle in two directions: H2-plus innovations that genuinely carry the H3 future, and H2-minus innovations that get captured by H1 and merely prop up the incumbent system. The output is a **three-horizons transition map**: the named H1 system and what is failing in it, the H3 aspiration and the seeds of it already visible now, the H2 transition moves classified by which horizon they actually serve, and a read of… …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/thinking-framework-skills/think-three-horizons@sha256:1a6928c60de79962The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
