## HARD-GATE

Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.

## Available Tactics

| Tactic | Role |
|--------|------|
| life-principles-application | Apply evolutionary principles as design constraints |
| analogy-extraction | Extract transferable evolution mechanisms |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| evolution-mechanism-transfer | Map evolution mechanisms to design operations |
| abstraction-to-design | Abstract evolutionary principles to design operators |
| emulation-generation | Generate solutions using evolutionary operators |
| biomimicry-synthesis | Synthesize final output |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Identify mechanisms**: Select relevant evolution mechanisms (natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, co-evolution)
2. **Map to design**: Use evolution-mechanism-transfer to create design operator mappings
3. **Abstract**: Use abstraction-to-design for generalizable design operators
4. **Apply**: Use emulation-generation to apply operators to solution populations
5. **Synthesize**: Produce structured evolution-inspired design report
