But do keep in mind that this framework is useful for inspiring and evaluating other people’s strategies as well. Where a strategy is controversial or expensive, this framework can be used to measure both the need for such a strategy and for measuring the benefit of a strategy.

This framework can also be used to help find a complete set of cheap “low-hanging fruit” strategies. There is great power in exploiting the low-hanging fruit opportunities for all four of the bottlenecks. (This is the key to launching a new party from scratch.) Once the low-hanging fruit is consumed, this framework can help determine where it is most productive to reach for higher fruit.
