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
biological-function-mapping	Map technical functions to biological systems
analogy-extraction	Extract transferable principles from biological domains

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
problem-biologization	Define → Biologize: restate problem as biological question
organism-discovery	Discover: find organisms solving the biological question
biological-strategy-extraction	Abstract: extract mechanism-level strategies
emulation-generation	Emulate: generate technical solutions from strategies
biomimicry-synthesis	Synthesize final output

Execution Guidance

1. Define: Clarify the technical challenge in functional terms
2. Biologize: Use problem-biologization to restate as biological question
3. Discover: Use organism-discovery to find nature's champions
4. Abstract: Use biological-strategy-extraction to extract principles
5. Emulate: Use emulation-generation to create technical solutions
6. Synthesize: Produce structured biomimicry report

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
biological-function-mapping	Map technical functions to biological systems. Orchestrates problem-biologization → organism-discovery → functional-model-biology.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
abstraction-to-design	Abstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering.
biological-strategy-extraction	Extract strategy principles from organisms. Identify mechanism-level details of how biological systems achieve their function.
biomimicry-synthesis	Synthesize all biomimicry outputs into a structured idea report. Integrate biological strategies, design principles, and technical solutions.
emulation-generation	Generate technical solutions emulating biological strategies. Bridge from design principle to concrete implementation.
organism-discovery	Find organisms solving similar problems. Search across kingdoms for biological champions.
problem-biologization	Restate technical problem as biological question. Translate engineering challenges into nature's language.
