# Perspective Forcing

Discover hidden solutions by systematically switching viewpoints via roles, six hats, temporal projection, and constraint injection.

## Strategy Routing

| Strategy | Signal Keywords |
|----------|----------------|
| role-based-ideation | role-play, reviewer, practitioner, theorist, novice, competitor, persona |
| six-hats-rotation | six hats, de Bono, white hat, red hat, black hat, yellow hat, green hat, blue hat |
| temporal-projection | future, past, 5 years, 50 years, backcast, time horizon, temporal |
| stakeholder-simulation | stakeholder, user, engineer, investor, regulator, society, multi-perspective |
| constraint-driven-ideation | constraint, extreme limitation, force innovation, impossible, restriction |

## Manifest

### Strategies

| Strategy | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| role-based-ideation | Role-play as reviewer/practitioner/theorist/novice/competitor |
| six-hats-rotation | Complete Six Hats rotation (White→Red→Black→Yellow→Green→Blue) |
| temporal-projection | View problem from 5yr/50yr/500yr future, backcast |
| stakeholder-simulation | Simulate user/engineer/investor/regulator/society perspectives |
| constraint-driven-ideation | Inject extreme constraints to force innovation |

### Tactics

| Tactic | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| evaluation-filtering | Filter and rank ideas by novelty and feasibility (shared) |
| constraint-protocol | Inject constraints → force response → extract transferable principles |
| perspective-rotation | Rotate through reviewer/practitioner/theorist/time-machine/novice perspectives |

### SOPs

| SOP | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| reviewer2-hat | Hostile reviewer perspective: find fatal flaws |
| practitioner-hat | Engineer perspective: assess buildability |
| theorist-hat | Theorist perspective: assess theoretical foundations |
| time-machine | Temporal projection: view from future/past |
| novice-perspective | Novice perspective: question the 'obvious' |
| competitor-simulation | Competitor perspective: how to defeat this solution |
| constraint-response | Generate creative solutions under extreme constraints |
| perspective-synthesis | Synthesize all perspective outputs |

## Budget Table

## Context Management

- Each strategy tracks its own budget via State Ledger
- Strategies MUST NOT exceed allocated budget
- Campaign monitors cumulative spend across all strategies
- If a strategy exhausts budget before meeting yield, escalate to campaign level for reallocation
- Prefer paper-overview over paper-research for initial exploration (lower cost)
- Perspective diversity is a campaign-level constraint: strategies should not overlap viewpoints

## Available Tactics

| Tactic | Role |
|--------|------|
| evaluation-filtering | Filter and rank ideas by novelty and feasibility (shared) |
| constraint-protocol | Inject constraints → force response → extract transferable principles |
| perspective-rotation | Rotate through multiple expert/temporal/novice perspectives |
