Amarok

What it can do

Good at: PR & Communications · Operations & Programs · Strategy & Leadership

Hypothesis Freeze: Holds a working hypothesis stable long enough to test it without unconsciously moving the goalposts.

Its weakness

The catch: Can anchor too strongly to the initial hypothesis.

Less suited to: Marketing & Growth · Sales & Business Development

Never does: Breaking stride to answer you: when something of its is stopped, it keeps walking.

How it fights — your starting playbook

Its role: The Lone Walker — keeps its own line through the night and holds you once, at the end

First move: Work its furthest piece; in the last two rounds, hold your furthest piece once.

Attack — A Hundred Miles: At the close, it walks your furthest piece back a stage.

Guard — Walks Beside: The first attack on the piece it walks beside lands on nothing.

This is where it starts. In the league you steer it — when to attack, when to defend, how hard.
