CLASSIFICATION: DOCTRINAL MANDATE // M-DOI-016
SUBJECT: THE LAW OF ORDER
A client who prescribes the solution ("We need a video" or "We need a rebrand") is diagnosing themselves. This is a dangerous inversion of expertise.
In the Game of Scale, the Vendor accepts the order. They execute the tactic, knowing it will fail to solve the root problem. This is Strategic Malpractice.
In this transmission, The Architect codifies Statute IV of The Mandates Codex. We enforce the law that we must Architect the Destination before we Design the Vehicle.
THE LAW OF DESTINATION:We move the conversation upstream from the "Tactical Want" to the "Strategic Need." If the destination is unclear (The Strategic Void™), no amount of tactical execution can save the mission.
THE 72-HOUR CLARITY TEST:Effective immediately, we refuse to execute any tactical mandate unless it passes the Clarity Test:
The Audit: Does the C-Suite agree on the "Why"?
The Alignment: Is the narrative portable across all departments?
The Authorization: Do we have the mandate to fix the strategy, not just the aesthetics?
We do not paint the house while the foundation is rotting.
