# Options Matrix

Distinct strategic alternatives with financial models, resource requirements, and risk profiles.

## Expected Artifacts

- **Strategic options** -- at least 3 distinct paths with differentiated value propositions
- **Financial models** -- stated assumptions, investment required, and projected returns per option
- **Risk profiles** -- risk/reward assessment spanning a range of profiles
- **Resource requirements** -- what each option demands in terms of capital, people, and time

## Quality Signals

- Options are genuinely differentiated, not variations of one approach
- Financial assumptions are stated and quantified uncertainties are identified
- Options span a range of risk/reward profiles
- Each option has enough detail for meaningful evaluation
