Strategy
Clear choices and value-creation logic translated into operating principles.
Strategy is the set of explicit choices about where to compete, how to win, and what the enterprise will refuse to do. In the Lattice, strategy is judged not by the document but by whether operating decisions visibly defer to it.
TODO: describe the typical failure pattern — strategy decks that never translate into operating principles, leaving middle managers to invent priorities week by week.
TODO: describe what good looks like — every quarterly plan, hiring decision, and capital allocation traceable to a named strategic choice.
