Strategy is the first layer of the solution space — where problem-space understanding converts into deliberate decisions about scope and direction. It is about choices: which user needs to serve, and which business outcomes to target.

The decisions this layer makes

• The business outcome this work serves
• Which user opportunities (needs, pains, desires) genuinely connect to that outcome
• What solution bets we're placing on those opportunities
• How to test the riskiest assumptions cheaply
• Which bets to pursue first, and why

If the outcome and the bets are already clear, don't rebuild the tree for its own sake.
