    "description": "Percentage of the planned roadmap (typically next 1–2 quarters) allocated to offensive bets — net-new capabilities, market expansion, differentiation moats, new monetization. The \"what proportion of the plan is about winning\" view. Common pitfall: counting \"improvements to existing features\" as offensive when the change is really table-stakes parity work. Boards should expect a McKinsey-style horizon framing (Horizon 1 = core, Horizon 2 = adjacent, Horizon 3 = transformational) or an equivalent classification, and apply it consistently. Per the original McKinsey \"Three Horizons\" framing (Baghai/Coley/White, \"The Alchemy of Growth\", 1999), a healthy portfolio funds all three — over-indexing on any one is a strategic risk.",

Complement of `defensive_roadmap_pct` (they should sum to ~100% in a fully-classified roadmap).",
    "whyItMatters": "Encodes the company's strategic posture in one number. Boards use this to check the roadmap against the strategy narrative — a company saying it is \"going on offense\" while showing a 30% offensive roadmap has a story-versus-execution gap worth flagging.",
    "interpretationGuidance": "Industry folk-wisdom, not citation-grade: 50–70% offensive in growth-stage companies pursuing market expansion; 30–50% in companies stabilizing a platform; below 30% in turnaround / harden-the-base modes. Pair with `defensive_roadmap_pct` and `innovation_capacity_pct` — strategic offense requires both intent (this metric) and available bandwidth (innovation capacity). The right number is stage-, market-, and strategy-dependent — the trend and the stated rationale matter more than the absolute level.",
