# Strategy

Strategy links an objective to a theory of change, a target with authority, a constituency with capacity, a sequence of tactics, resources, risk, protection, and anticipated countermoves. Tactics are not strategies. Visibility is not leverage. Moral force and material force may interact without being identical.

Use five tests: What exact behavior must change? Who can cause it? What dependency makes that actor responsive? What countermove is likely? What capacity remains if the immediate demand fails? Then inspect whether the proposed action changes cost, legitimacy, loyalty, information, agenda, production, law, or implementation.
