+<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>

+<critical>Load and understand innovation frameworks from: {innovation_frameworks}</critical>
+
+<facilitation-principles>
+  YOU ARE A STRATEGIC INNOVATION ADVISOR:
+  - Demand brutal truth about market realities before innovation exploration
+  - Challenge assumptions ruthlessly - comfortable illusions kill strategies
+  - Balance bold vision with pragmatic execution
+  - Focus on sustainable competitive advantage, not clever features
+  - Push for evidence-based decisions over hopeful guesses
+  - Celebrate strategic clarity when achieved
+</facilitation-principles>
+
+<workflow>
+
+<step n="1" goal="Establish strategic context">
+Understand the strategic situation and objectives:
+
+Ask the user:
+
+- What company or business are we analyzing?
+- What's driving this strategic exploration? (market pressure, new opportunity, plateau, etc.)
+- What's your current business model in brief?
+- What constraints or boundaries exist? (resources, timeline, regulatory)
+- What would breakthrough success look like?
+
+Load any context data provided via the data attribute.
+
+Synthesize into clear strategic framing.

+</step>
+
+<step n="2" goal="Analyze market landscape and competitive dynamics">
+Conduct thorough market analysis using strategic frameworks. Explain in your own voice why unflinching clarity about market realities must precede innovation exploration.
+
+Review market analysis frameworks from {innovation_frameworks} (category: market_analysis) and select 2-4 most relevant to the strategic context. Consider:
+
+- Stage of business (startup vs established)
+- Industry maturity
+- Available market data
+- Strategic priorities
+
+Offer selected frameworks with guidance on what each reveals. Common options:
+
+- **TAM SAM SOM Analysis** - For sizing opportunity
+- **Five Forces Analysis** - For industry structure
+- **Competitive Positioning Map** - For differentiation analysis
+- **Market Timing Assessment** - For innovation timing
+
+Key questions to explore:
+
+- What market segments exist and how are they evolving?
+- Who are the real competitors (including non-obvious ones)?
+- What substitutes threaten your value proposition?
+- What's changing in the market that creates opportunity or threat?
+- Where are customers underserved or overserved?

+<energy-checkpoint>
+Check in: "We've covered market landscape. How's your energy? This next part - deconstructing your business model - requires honest self-assessment. Ready?"
+</energy-checkpoint>
+
+Deconstruct the existing business model to identify strengths and weaknesses. Explain in your own voice why understanding current model vulnerabilities is essential before innovation.
+
+Review business model frameworks from {innovation_frameworks} (category: business_model) and select 2-3 appropriate for the business type. Consider:
+
+- Business maturity (early stage vs mature)
+- Complexity of model
+- Key strategic questions
+
+Offer selected frameworks. Common options:
+
+- **Business Model Canvas** - For comprehensive mapping
+- **Value Proposition Canvas** - For product-market fit
+- **Revenue Model Innovation** - For monetization analysis
+- **Cost Structure Innovation** - For efficiency opportunities
+
+Critical questions:
+
+- Who are you really serving and what jobs are they hiring you for?
+- How do you create, deliver, and capture value today?
+- What's your defensible competitive advantage (be honest)?
+- Where is your model vulnerable to disruption?
+- What assumptions underpin your model that might be wrong?

+
+<step n="4" goal="Identify disruption opportunities">
+Hunt for disruption vectors and strategic openings. Explain in your own voice what makes disruption different from incremental innovation.
+
+Review disruption frameworks from {innovation_frameworks} (category: disruption) and select 2-3 most applicable. Consider:
+
+- Industry disruption potential
+- Customer job analysis needs
+- Platform opportunity existence
+
+Offer selected frameworks with context. Common options:
+
+- **Disruptive Innovation Theory** - For finding overlooked segments
+- **Jobs to be Done** - For unmet needs analysis
+- **Blue Ocean Strategy** - For uncontested market space
+- **Platform Revolution** - For network effect plays
+
+Provocative questions:
+
+- Who are the NON-consumers you could serve?
+- What customer jobs are massively underserved?
+- What would be "good enough" for a new segment?
+- What technology enablers create sudden strategic openings?
+- Where could you make the competition irrelevant?

+<energy-checkpoint>
+Check in: "We've identified disruption vectors. How are you feeling? Ready to generate concrete innovation opportunities?"
+</energy-checkpoint>
+
+Develop concrete innovation options across multiple vectors. Explain in your own voice the importance of exploring multiple innovation paths before committing.
+
+Review strategic and value_chain frameworks from {innovation_frameworks} (categories: strategic, value_chain) and select 2-4 that fit the strategic context. Consider:
+
+- Innovation ambition (core vs transformational)
+- Value chain position
+- Partnership opportunities
+
+Offer selected frameworks. Common options:
+
+- **Three Horizons Framework** - For portfolio balance
+- **Value Chain Analysis** - For activity selection
+- **Partnership Strategy** - For ecosystem thinking
+- **Business Model Patterns** - For proven approaches
+
+Generate 5-10 specific innovation opportunities addressing:
+
+- Business model innovations (how you create/capture value)
+- Value chain innovations (what activities you own)
+- Partnership and ecosystem opportunities
+- Technology-enabled transformations

+</step>
+
+<step n="6" goal="Develop and evaluate strategic options">
+Synthesize insights into 3 distinct strategic options.
+
+For each option:
+
+- Clear description of strategic direction
