The Strategos Loop exists to give any business what the largest companies take for granted: a clear, repeatable way to think and act strategically.
It didn't come from nowhere. It's a careful synthesis of three traditions — distilled, translated into plain English, and shaped into six moves any owner can run.
From the oldest strategy writing we have: know yourself and your rival, weigh the five conditions, and win by position rather than force. The soul of the Loop.
From decision-cycle thinking — observe, orient, decide, act — comes the Loop's insistence that strategy is a fast, repeating cycle, not a one-time plan.
From Porter, the resource-based view, Blue Ocean, the Business Model Canvas and more comes the thinking behind each move. The instruments themselves are ours — rebuilt in plain language for real businesses, with every source credited.
It's the ancient Greek word for a general — and the literal root of the word "strategy." It's a nod to the long lineage the Loop draws on. The name is a placeholder you're free to make your own.
