# Options Matrix

Strategic alternatives with financial models, resource requirements, and risk profiles.

## Content Guide

Structure the matrix for comparative evaluation:

- **Option summaries** -- concise description of each strategic alternative with theory of change
- **Financial models** -- investment required, projected returns, and break-even for each option
- **Resource requirements** -- capital, talent, time, and organizational capacity needed
- **Risk profiles** -- key risks for each option with probability and impact
- **Key assumptions** -- material assumptions for each option with sensitivity indicators
- **Comparison framework** -- dimensions for evaluating options in the next stage

## Quality Signals

- Options are genuinely distinct, not variations of the same approach
- Financial models use consistent assumptions for fair comparison
- Risk profiles span a range from conservative to aggressive
- Each option has a credible theory of change with stated assumptions
