# Component Surgery
Apply SIT operators at the component level to create structural innovations through surgical modification.

## 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 |
|--------|------|
| component-decomposition | Decompose system into operable components |
| combination-mapping | Map component × operator combinations |
## Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| surgery-operation | Execute subtract/multiply/divide/unify/redirect |
| function-model-construction | Build functional model before surgery |
| recombination-generation | Reassemble post-surgery fragments |
| structural-synthesis | Synthesize surgical outcomes |
## Execution Guidance
1. **Model**: Build function model of the system via function-model-construction
2. **Decompose**: Use component-decomposition tactic to identify targets
3. **Operate**: Apply surgery-operation SOP with selected operators
4. **Verify**: Check that modified system retains core function
5. **Synthesize**: Produce structured output via structural-synthesis
