Strategy work should not stall in rounds of rewrites. Yet consistent refinement loops degrade momentum, dilute ownership, and delay client decisions. The root cause is often not the strategy itself, but how it’s framed and anchored in the first instance, particularly when audience expectations aren’t preempted and evidence flow isn’t structured for decision-readiness.
