Value Trigger Chain (VTC)

Deprecated — The VTC concept has been replaced by the Trigger Map's built-in strategic context.

When you need quick strategic grounding without a full Trigger Map, use a slim Trigger Map instead — define the business goal, target group, and their driving forces directly. This provides the same strategic context without introducing a separate concept.
