Product / Service—
Buyer Context—

B1 · Weaknesses · Internal negative evidence

0
Evidence first. Record what limits the current ability to compete for this product and buyer. Do not turn the weakness into an action yet.

B2 · Strengths · Internal positive evidence

0
Capability evidence. Record what can credibly support the proposition, experience or operating model. Keep the source and validation state explicit.

B1 · PESTEL · Macro-environment

Score each observation with the operational aid: Impact 40% · Likelihood 35% · Urgency 25%. The score supports judgement; it does not replace classification.

B2 · Porter Five Forces · Industry structure

Score each observation with the operational aid: Intensity 40% · Strategic relevance 35% · Urgency 25%. A force is evidence, not automatically a Threat.

METHODOLOGY AT THE END OF THE JOURNEY

DIIIP explains how strategic evidence becomes Direction

In the SWOT Direction Lab, value appears when raw observations are structured, interpreted, validated and transformed into a transparent diagnosis that can be handed to Decision.

D
Data

Internal diagnosis evidence, Product + Buyer Persona context, PESTEL observations, Porter observations, source metadata and validation states.

I
Information

Evidence is structured into Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat candidates with source, confidence, status, Strategic Relevance and explicit weights.

I
Intelligence

Operational rules normalise known values, calculate weighted quadrant scores and preserve Unknown as an independent evidence state rather than converting it to zero.

I
Insights

The Treatment reveals F, D, O, A, POS, NEG, φ_SWOT, major drivers, evidence coverage, sensitivity and unresolved gaps behind the strategic Direction.

P
Personalization Actions

The diagnosis is packaged as a Decision Handover for the next Treatment. Actions are intentionally not created here: CAME begins after this handover.

KAI·ROI EQUATION · OPERATIONAL DIRECTION EVIDENCE

φ_SWOT creates structured operational evidence for later Direction work

The SWOT Direction Lab does not redefine the formal KAI·ROI architecture. It creates a transparent operational diagnosis that may support subsequent work related to Direction, ROI reasoning and strategic decision-making.

The formal KAI·ROI v1 structure remains sovereign and unchanged.

Protection rule. φ_SWOT is an operational Direction indicator. It does not substitute, redefine or automatically determine φ_i. Unknown remains independent from zero, and the operational implementation never replaces the formal model.
