SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Industries face uncertain, multi-curve dynamics that hinder long-range planning. analyze-trajectory generates a structured, codified view of market and technology lifecycles, Three Horizons portfolio overlays, discontinuities, Helmer Power Progression, and scenario planning in a single trajectory report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dual S-curve assessments (market adoption and technology) to reveal synchronization or desynchronization dynamics.
  • Three Horizons overlay across defined sub-segments, enabling resource allocation guidance.
  • Discontinuities cataloging with explicit year-range timing windows and leading indicators.
  • Helmer Power Progression mapping to open/Year 3/Year 5+/Closed windows for moat strategy handoffs.
  • Base/Bear/Bull scenarios with named, falsifiable swing variables for five-year planning.
  • Reconciliation with size-market data when available to align trajectory with growth rates.
  • Outputs the trajectory report as trajectory.md with provenance tags.

Quick Start

Provide an industry slug and optional market-sizing context to generate a five-year trajectory report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I forecast an industry trajectory using dual S-curves?▼

To forecast an industry trajectory, you provide an industry slug and optional market-sizing context to generate a report with dual market and technology S-curves, Three Horizons overlays, and discontinuities.

What is Power progression and how does it map to industry moats?▼

Power progression maps Helmer's seven powers to open, Year 3, Year 5+, and Closed windows, providing a structured moat strategy handoff timeline to reveal synchronization dynamics across market-facing industries.

How do I build base, bear, and bull scenarios for a five-year industry analysis?▼

Scenario planning generates Base, Bear, and Bull outcomes by defining named, falsifiable swing variables over a five-year planning horizon, reconciling the trajectories with available size-market growth rates.

Can I use this trajectory analysis for non-market-facing industries?▼

This trajectory analysis applies specifically to market-facing industries with five-year planning horizons. It imposes strict validation requiring at least three horizons and two discontinuities with explicit year windows.

How do I identify and time industry discontinuities for scenario planning?▼

You identify discontinuities by cataloging them with explicit year-range timing windows and leading indicators. The analysis requires at least two named discontinuities to validate the industry trajectory.

What format does the industry trajectory report output to?▼

The industry trajectory report outputs as a trajectory.md file. This markdown file includes provenance tags to trace the dual S-curves, Three Horizons, and Power progression data.
