Principlev1
Question the assumptions underlying goals at quarterly
Question the assumptions underlying goals at quarterly intervals, not just whether you are achieving them, because executing a strategy based on falsified assumptions produces tactical success masking strategic drift.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Single-loop learning adjusts actions within existing (double-loop learning questions assumptions) and Double-loop learning requires questioning the framework (double-loop learning requires questioning the framework). The principle prescribes the quarterly cadence as the interval for assumption testing because it is long enough to gather meaningful evidence but short enough to prevent major resource waste on invalidated strategies.
