SWOT ANALYSIS: EVIDENCE AND ACTION WORKSHEET
Space Office | Created October 13, 2026
Guide: https://www.spaceoffice.ai/blog/swot-analysis

This is an original, editable planning worksheet. Replace the prompts with
your own approved information. Empty evidence fields are unresolved questions,
not permission to fill gaps with plausible claims. The Cedar Web example in
the guide is fictional; it is not evidence about your business.

1. DECISION BRIEF

Decision question:
Business, project, or offer being assessed:
Audience or customer group in scope:
Time horizon:
Human decision owner:
People contributing relevant operating perspectives:
Current commitments that must be protected:
Available budget and capacity:
Non-negotiable constraints:
What is outside this analysis:
Date prepared:

2. EVIDENCE LOG

Repeat this record for each material observation. Share only information you
have permission to use. Link to an approved source or retain its location in
an appropriate private system.

Evidence ID:
Observation, stated as specifically as possible:
Source or approved record location:
Date observed / date checked:
Which people, customers, products, or time period it describes:
Evidence type: documented fact / reported experience / interpretation / assumption
What the evidence supports:
What it does not establish:
Contradictory evidence or alternative explanation:
Missing information:
Who will resolve the gap and by when:

3. FOUR-QUADRANT FACTOR RECORD

Repeat this record for each factor. Use one claim per record. An action such
as hiring or launching belongs in section 4, not in the opportunity category.

Factor ID:
Category: strength / weakness / opportunity / threat
Specific factor:
Internal capability or external condition:
Why it helps or limits the stated decision:
Supporting evidence IDs:
What remains uncertain:
How important it is to this decision, and why:
What observation would cause you to revise or remove it:

Strength prompts (internal and helpful):
- What can we already demonstrate or reliably deliver?
- Which process, skill, asset, or relationship is relevant to this decision?
- Can the capability be used within the proposed period and conditions?

Weakness prompts (internal and limiting):
- What limits capacity, quality, coverage, or the ability to deliver?
- Which handoffs depend on a single person or an incomplete process?
- Can the constraint be reduced within the available resources?

Opportunity prompts (external and helpful):
- What observed customer need or external change could matter?
- Which customer group does the evidence describe?
- Have we established an opportunity, or only a question to investigate?

Threat prompts (external and limiting):
- Which external condition could make the decision harder to sustain?
- What is the specific exposure rather than the broad topic?
- What would tell us the condition has changed?

4. OPTION COMPARISON

Include a realistic option to continue, narrow the scope, investigate, or
postpone when appropriate. Do not assume the analysis must lead to a launch.
Repeat this record for each serious option.

Option:
Supporting factor IDs:
Potential benefit, labeled as a hypothesis where unproven:
Required people and skills:
Setup effort:
Recurring effort, including communication, rework, and review:
Budget and other costs:
Dependencies and approvals:
Non-negotiable constraint check:
Main downside or failure condition:
What this option would help us learn:
How reversible it is:
Evidence needed before authorization:

5. ACTION AND REVIEW RECORD

Decision: proceed / pilot / investigate / narrow / postpone / decline
Chosen action and scope:
Reason for the choice, with supporting evidence and factor IDs:
Alternatives considered and reasons not selected:
Human owner who authorizes the action:
Delivery owner:
Approved resources and limits:
Required permissions or commercial approvals:
Unresolved questions and their owners:
Next observable signal:
How it will be measured or documented:
Review date:
Change that should trigger an earlier review:
Condition for pausing, narrowing, or stopping:
What would need to change before expanding or reconsidering:

6. REVIEW NOTES

Review date:
What actually happened:
Evidence added or corrected:
Difference from the original assumptions:
Effect on current commitments and capacity:
Human decision: continue / revise / expand / pause / stop
Reason:
Next owner and review date:
Version or location of the previous analysis:

OPTIONAL SPACE OFFICE HANDOFF

Provide Hydrogen with the decision brief and approved materials. Sodium can
organize research and its uncertainties; Oxygen can develop strategic
options. Hydrogen coordinates and reviews their output. A human checks
material facts, decides which action to take, and authorizes any external
work or spending. Access to private accounts must be explicitly supplied or
approved. A prepared matrix does not automatically authorize execution.
