Role-play as reviewer/practitioner/theorist/novice/competitor to generate diverse perspectives on a solution.

## State Ledger

| Resource | Target | Current | % |
|----------|--------|---------|---|

| web-research | 5 | 0 | 0% |

## 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 |
|--------|------|
| perspective-rotation | Rotate through all five role perspectives systematically |
| evaluation-filtering | Filter and rank resulting ideas (shared) |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| reviewer2-hat | Hostile reviewer perspective |
| practitioner-hat | Engineer perspective |
| theorist-hat | Theorist perspective |
| novice-perspective | Novice perspective |
| competitor-simulation | Competitor perspective |
| perspective-synthesis | Synthesize all role outputs |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Reviewer 2**: Adopt hostile reviewer stance — find fatal flaws and logical gaps
2. **Practitioner**: Switch to engineer — assess buildability, cost, timeline
3. **Theorist**: Adopt theorist role — assess formal foundations and rigor
4. **Novice**: Become deliberate novice — question every "obvious" assumption
5. **Competitor**: Become competitor — design strategies to defeat the solution
6. **Synthesize**: Combine all perspectives into integrated improvement plan
