StratIQ does not create new committees. It installs the missing functions - arbitration criteria, allocation discipline, profit validation, and reallocation authority - on top of your existing structures.
Your organization funds five to eight strategic initiatives in parallel. Prioritization criteria stay implicit - each business unit defends its budget with its own logic. Profitability assumptions were set during the annual budget cycle and have rarely been revised since. In quarterly review, the numbers are presented and the gaps are explained - but no one really has the authority to stop what is not performing. Allocation decisions happen through negotiation, not through logic.
This is not a competence problem. It is a missing decision architecture.
Whatever your structure looks like, these functions must be explicitly assigned and auditable. They often already exist - but informally, without clear authority or traceability.
A progressive rollout - each phase produces an executive-ready deliverable before the next one begins.
Compression of priorities. Formalization of exclusion criteria. Structured portfolio with documented trade-offs. First entries in the Decision Log™.
Full mapping: budget → priority → assumption → owner → horizon. Exit thresholds defined before commitment. Stop/continue logic installed.
Review rhythm with reallocation authority. Formalized review triggers. Profit Validation Reports™ integrated into the executive cadence.
Non-negotiable: Phase 03 must include the authority to reallocate and stop. A cadence without decision power is reporting in disguise.
Executive contexts impose confidentiality. Proof takes another form.
Situation, decisions, result. A portfolio-reallocation case: six initiatives to three priorities, formalized criteria, and capital redirected through explicit assumptions. Available on request during the brief.
Demonstrable logic. How the system compresses priorities, links capital to assumptions, and defines exit thresholds - on a fictional but realistic portfolio.
Strategic Arbitration Brief™ example. A complete anonymized deliverable showing exactly what a Phase 01 deployment produces. Available on request.
