When to use it
Use to balance a portfolio across today's core, emerging and future opportunities: a bank's or retailer's growth strategy, an R&D or product portfolio, a public agency's modernization program, or a university's research agenda. Each horizon carries a short focus statement and its initiatives. Curves are schematic shapes of the model, not measured value or dates. Not for measured revenue over time, timelines with dates, roadmaps by quarter or more than three groups.

Anatomy: crowned subjectFor explaining what one thing is made of as a primary part, the part that carries it out and a part that spans both: a service offer (scope, delivery, assurance), a product (core function, how it ships, support), a course (content, format, learner support), an event (program, logistics, hosting) or a team charter (mission, ways of working, backing).
Comparison: principle seamsFor two to four supplied principles, each owning one exact preferred example and one exact example to avoid: brand voice guides, product interface copy, support reply standards, documentation style, naming conventions, inclusive language or meeting etiquette.
Cycle: causalFor a compact qualitative causal-loop view with exactly five variables and two three-link loops sharing one variable: a referral loop against crowding in a membership plan, workload against hiring in a team, adoption against support load in a product, or demand against price in a market.
Cycle: quarter panelsFor four-step recurring loops where each step produces one named output: service improvement, editorial planning, quarterly operating reviews, product discovery or a study-practice-test-reflect learning cycle.
Cycle: stage ledgerFor 3–5 stage recurring loops with named owners, produced work and an explicit final-to-first feedback artifact: customer learning loops, hiring or onboarding routines, editorial cycles, release reviews and continuous-improvement rounds.
Adoption lifecyclePlace a product, technology, internal tool, policy, practice or service on the diffusion of innovations curve: go-to-market planning for a B2B product, rollout of a new internal platform, adoption of a public-health practice, or spread of a teaching method.
