Strategy-Essence

The three-corner test every strategic move must pass before earning capital: Platform-Leverage (Focus × Inherent Advantage), Product Positioning, and Chain-Link Resonance (for new lines, Chain-Link Design — the chain is being built, not aligned to). When all three corners agree, the move compounds; when two agree, the move is half-built; when none agree, the move becomes Strategic Debt before its first review cycle. Developed in Chapter 7 of Winning the Race. See also Platform-Leverage, Product Positioning, Flow Resonance.
