Align intelligence and resources with lifecycle gates
The need for intelligence does not end at launch. Evidence sufficiency, access readiness, investment exposure, and resource allocation change at every lifecycle gate.
Management should increase exposure only when the evidence and execution case support the next level of commitment.
Each gate becomes a risk-adjusted decision rather than a calendar milestone.
S&P defines continue, accelerate, adapt, partner, hold, and stop criteria, reviews changed assumptions, and connects them with positioning, teams, and resources.
