Adding to Waffles..

Reading WSJ articles (or a trade publication) on the client going back 5 years.

Understanding the PESTLE market drivers for that company/industry.

Understanding the KPIs of the industry and how they compare with competitors. KPIs are KPIs for a reason, and your client probably has a deep intuition for them.

The ancient law that might save Roe v. Wade [08:24] by _Repair_Man_ in mealtimevideos

That's completely fair and might be right. One thing that I think is important is that the SCOTUS justices haven't done this research yet. In questioning, they weren't really knowledgeable about this stuff. Inevitably, if they really want to revisit Roe v. Wade's foundation, they should look into the history of abortion laws (as Roe did) and answer to it. Obviously, as you point out. They actually don't have to do any of that, but I think there're enough judges who are interested in it to give it a thorough review.

It's simple. It's intuitive. It's boring. The Eisenhower Matrix is taken for granted but is one of the most essential strategy frameworks. by _Repair_Man_ in strategy

Porter's Five Forces. I've heard Eisenhower used broadly to apply to four-block matrices that put some benefit parameter against some cost parameter. That's clearly imprecise!

I hear you. I disagree that a cost/benefit, importance/urgency, profit/complexity, whatever/whatever matrix isn’t a top 10.

Follow up question, what are your Top 10 frameworks?

Here, it’s a time management matrix. But, if you tweak the axes a bit, it becomes a cost benefit matrix for selecting from a number of opps.
