## 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
