What it is
Section titled “What it is”Find the real failure, plan the repair, implement the smallest fix that restores the promise. A strategy is a claim about what kind of progress this moment owes the project — then a recognisable set of practices that tend to earn it.
Why it works
Section titled “Why it works”Without a named strategy, teams mix shipping, rewriting, and tidying in one thrashy session. Naming the strategy constrains tool choice and makes stop conditions obvious.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”User-visible or data-plane breakage; backend/algo bugs. Don’t “fix” by spawning swarms.
