The second of the Six Laws is about discovering the right solution rather than guessing at one. This guide covers how solutions are actually found, why every one of them has a weakness, and the failure mode that catches careful people: analysis becoming a substitute for the decision. Then a two-page worksheet walks a real solution all the way to commitment.
WHAT'S INSIDE
The Formula and the Six Laws (reference page)
The complete strategy formula with every term defined, plus the concentric ring model showing how the six laws nest inside one another. Each law contains the one before it. Nothing outward is sound if the center is wrong.
The Law of Solutions (two-page guide)
The law itself
What math really teaches us
What effective problem-solving actually is
Every solution has a weakness
The cost of the wrong choice
Insight without action solves nothing
Three checks before you commit
Finding the Right Solution (two-page worksheet)
FORMAT
8.5in × 11in, US Letter — prints on standard paper
5 pages, print-ready PDF, designed for handwriting
Law Two of the Six Laws of Strategy
WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who keeps choosing solutions that seem sound and then break in month three. Also valuable for teams — the two tables turn "I have a bad feeling about this" into a specific, discussable point of failure.
HOW TO USE IT
This sheet assumes you already have a root cause. Carry it forward from The Law of Problems and write it in the box at the top. Do not solve a different problem than the one you identified — that substitution is the single most common way this law gets broken.
WORKS BEST WITH
The Law of Problems (Law One), which produces the input this worksheet requires, and The Principle of Strategy, Parts 1–3.
