# Write tech strategy documents that get funded

> Current-state honesty, bets with falsifiable outcomes, and resourcing asks tied to business narratives.

**Track:** 🧭 Engineering Leadership · **Domain:** Staff+ Operating Models · **Level:** advanced · **~50 min**

**Who this is for:** Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Staff Engineers, CTOs

## When to Use This Skill

Current-state honesty, bets with falsifiable outcomes, and resourcing asks tied to business narratives.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Open with business context in executives' language, quantified pressure points
2. Present 2-3 strategic bets with explicit what-we-stop-doing tradeoffs
3. Each bet carries success metrics + review date + kill criteria upfront
4. Resource ask maps line-items to bets; no orphan headcount requests
5. Circulate draft to skeptics privately first; incorporate visibly
6. Present decisions needed today separately from information-only sections

## Common Pitfalls

- Technology-first documents searching for a business rationale
- Everything-priority strategies funding nothing
