1. **Objective** - what is the challenge we are responding to?
2. **Users** - what does our audience need?
3. **Superpowers** - where can we create unique value?
4. **Vision** - what is the future we are building?
5. **Pillars** - what are the main themes of work to get there?
6. **Impact** - does our planned work meet our objective?
7. **Roadmap** - what are we doing next, and how do we share progress?
