HOW DIRECTION WORKS

Answers you can stand behind — not a slogan.

If direction is vague, every later OKR is theater. The product makes vagueness hard to ship.

01
Four questions. Ten concrete prompts.
Where you play, how you win, what you refuse, and what could stop you — each with specific answers you edit with the agent.
Strategy agent
Ten answers. Four questions. Lock when honest.
Boutique design studios with 5–20 people — not freelancers, not enterprises. That is where the mission is closest.
Lock target audience.

02
Lock to unlock — order is enforced
Goals stay locked until direction is honest. That stops a beautiful scoreboard aimed at the wrong game.
