# Implementation Strategy Selection Framework (Meta-cognitive Approach)

## Meta-cognitive Strategy Selection Process

### Phase 1: Decision-Sufficient Current State Analysis

**Core Question**: "What does the existing implementation look like?"

#### Analysis Framework
```yaml
Architecture Analysis: Responsibility separation, data flow, dependencies, technical debt
Implementation Quality Assessment: Code quality, behavior-relevant test evidence, performance, security
Historical Context Understanding: Current form rationale, past decision validity, constraint changes, requirement evolution
```

#### Meta-cognitive Question List
- What is the true responsibility of this implementation?
- Which parts are business essence and which derive from technical constraints?
- What dependencies or implicit preconditions are unclear from the code?
- What benefits and constraints does the current design bring?

Stop when another current-state fact cannot change responsibility, reuse, option validity, total complexity, a contract, or verification.

### Phase 2: Design Convergence

Complete these steps in order before selecting an implementation strategy:
