I’m trying to draw parallels to things like “We’re going to win this war by winning a large naval set piece battle somewhat to the east of the line connecting the Bonin and Mariana Islands”. Overspecific final plans is one of the weaknesses that this approach can lead to.
What constitutes advantage is usually somewhat overt. Even if the final goal is illegible, there are usually some promising trails to follow, and making progress on those is usually readily legible, as is building general capacity for your project/group. It’s important to test early and test often, of course!
I’m not quite sure what this question is cutting towards, could you perhaps rephrase it?
