Consultation Methodology

**The Core Transfer**

Phase Mirror\'s diagnostic loop (Extract → Map Tensions → Rank → Produce
Levers → Precision Question) doesn\'t require AI as its subject. It
requires only:[^[\[1\]]{.underline}^](#8lykhsvoj0xd)

1.  **Stakes**---decisions with real consequences

2.  **Hidden contradictions**---unstated tradeoffs embedded in strategy

3.  **Abstraction masking accountability**---vague alignment language
    > instead of binding mechanisms

These conditions exist across every high-risk domain.

**Application by Domain**

  Domain               Abstraction to Melt                        Dissonance to Surface
  -------------------- ------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  **R&D**              \"Innovation pipeline\" metrics            Speed-to-market vs. validation rigor---who owns the liability when unvalidated products ship? [^[\[1\]]{.underline}^](#8lykhsvoj0xd)
  **Marketing**        \"Brand alignment\" and \"audience fit\"   Growth targets vs. reputational risk---what\'s the error budget for misleading claims?
  **Pharma/Biotech**   Efficacy projections                       Regulatory compliance vs. competitive pressure---which metric wins at Phase III decision gates?
  **Finance**          Portfolio optimization models              Fiduciary duty vs. fee maximization---where is the conflict of interest encoded?
  **Legal**            \"Reasonable\" standards                   Client advocacy vs. compliance exposure---what\'s the binding threshold for escalation?
  **Supply Chain**     Cost-efficiency ratios                     Resilience vs. margin---who absorbs the shock when optimization fails?

**What Makes It Transferable**

The Phase Mirror replaces *align* with a spec, *collaborate* with a
quorum, and *strategy* with a lever that has an owner, metric, and
horizon. This discipline applies anywhere decisions are made on
abstraction rather than
binding.^[[\[2\]](#9u8anxl4rnur)[\[1\]](#8lykhsvoj0xd)]{.underline}^

**Positioning:** Phase Mirror isn\'t an AI governance tool that can
extend to other domains---it\'s a **high-stakes decision governance
methodology** that emerged from AI\'s acute need for it.
