The decision filter that protects a company’s focus

A useful strategy makes it easier to say no. This three-question filter helps teams protect scarce time and capital.

Before committing to a new initiative, ask whether it strengthens your chosen customer promise, uses a capability you can credibly build, and matters enough to displace work already in progress. If the answer is unclear, the idea is not ready for the roadmap.

The value is not in scoring every proposal perfectly. It is in making the trade-offs visible so the team can disagree productively and decide with shared context.
