In planning a strategy, I've found it helpful to consider Win Conditions. It forces me to think backwards from the goal, construct a dependency tree, and consider resource allocation. I first heard about it from videogames but I've also seen it in math, engineering, logistics, recipes, etc. I also pattern-match it the insight that solved the Problem Of Points [0] which motivated Probability Theory. If it were on the curated list, I'd expected to find it under "models" next to cost-benefit analysis.
