The Strategic Formula is the first full articulation of the Strategic Formula System. It documents the system, its structure, and its application in depth, while the system itself exists independently of the book.

The book presents the Strategic Formula System through applied analysis and case studies, showing how its components are used to describe strategic structure, explain compounding dynamics, and diagnose exposure to AI-driven change.

The book details the three interdependent components of the Strategic Formula System:

• The Periodic Table of Business Strategy — a structural taxonomy defining the finite set of business models, strategies, and competitive advantages.
• The AI Susceptibility Index — a diagnostic instrument assessing how exposed strategic elements are to AI-driven disruption.
• Learning-Loop Economics — a strategic theory explaining why certain formulas compound advantage through proprietary learning loops.
