An enhancement of Amazon's "Working Backwards" process. Instead of writing one Press Release, the team writes three distinct, divergent PRs to explore different strategic directions before converging.
Core principle: Power of Three—always explore three radically different solutions.
| Divergence first | Prevents falling in love with first idea | | Show don't tell | Write full PR/FAQ, not just bullet points | | Leadership choice | Give real options, not yes/no on single plan | | Commit after debate | Once chosen, full commitment |
