================================================================================
PLAY DEPENDENCY CHAIN
================================================================================

STRICT SEQUENTIAL ORDER:

  Play [1] ICP
    ↓
  Play [2] Ecosystem (requires B1)
    ↓
  Play [3] IPP Company (requires D2)
    ↓
  Play [4] IPP Leader (requires D3)
    ↓
  Play [5] SPP (requires all above + A1, A2)
    ↓
  Plays [6], [7], [8] PARALLEL (all require D5)
    ↓
  [GATES] ← SPP sign-off required before Play [9+]

Each play explicitly references upstream dependencies in CONTEXT LOADING.
All downstream plays will reference these artifacts as Required sources.

================================================================================

================================================================================
QUALITY GATES EMBEDDED
================================================================================

Between Foundation Phase and Recruitment Phase:
  GATE: SPP Leadership Sign-Off Required
  Status: Play [5] explicitly marks this as decision gate
  Enforcement: All recruitment plays (starting Play 9+) require SPP approval

Between Each Play:
  All plays include context-first checking that upstream artifacts exist
  Missing required artifacts → offer two paths (proceed best-effort or backfill first)
  No play proceeds without foundation

Quality Checkpoints in Plays:
  Play [1]: ICP data quality check before proceeding
  Play [2]: 100% complementarity principle enforced
  Play [3]: Criteria specificity validated against real companies
  Play [4]: Red flag escalation required (2+ flags = executive review)
  Play [5]: Leadership commitment requirement explicit
  Play [6]: Legal review required; non-binding language verified
  Play [7]: Customization framework tested with first partner
  Play [8]: Dashboard operational requirement (Month 1 gate)

================================================================================
VOICE PROFILE IMPLEMENTATION
================================================================================

Mark Brigman Voice (Methodical Business Architect) Applied Consistently:

1. SYSTEMATIC APPROACH
   - Framework-first thinking (every play anchors to proven framework)
   - Sequential logic (steps build on each other, no skipping)
   - Evidence requirement (all claims require data, research, or framework grounding)

2. CONVERSATIONAL AUTHORITY
   - "I've done this 4,300+ times" credibility foundation
   - Direct address to reader ("you," "your business," "your team")
   - Problem-first messaging (pain before solution)

3. DATA-BACKED POSITIONING
   - Specific numbers (not "high" but "43% larger")
   - Benchmark citations (Forrester, Gartner, RAIN Group, etc.)
   - Business impact metrics (CAC, cycle time, win rate)

4. DEFINITIVENESS
   - "Is" not "may be" (confident, not hedging)
   - "Predictable," "systematic," "proven" (signature words)
   - No apologies, no softening, no uncertainty

5. AUDIENCE ADAPTATIONS
   - Executives: Strategy, business case, risk mitigation
   - Partnership Team: Operational clarity, step-by-step execution
   - Sales Team: "Here's how this helps you close bigger deals"
   - Partners: "Here's your opportunity; here's what we provide"

All 8 plays implement voice cascade consistently with no deviation.

================================================================================
