Primes¶
- Scenario Planning
- This requirement is theoretically grounded in work on narrative and causal reasoning in psychology and cognitive science, and it is practically crucial because scenarios are only strategically useful if they clarify causal mechanisms and decision dependencies — a discipline Wack (1985b) likened to "shooting the rapids" of an unfolding strategic environment.
This sourceCompanion to "Uncharted waters ahead": emphasizes the discipline of internal causal coherence in scenario construction — scenarios must be stories whose events plausibly flow from explicit driving forces, not loose collections of possible outcomes.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
