For example, "Focus" and/or "Strategic initiatives" (interpreted as capturing options outside core focus) should probably be "done" _depending on_ some third indicator lead variable. It would be most valuable if you could indicate which generic lead indicators justify one action or another, if such things can be formulated at all. Maybe: "if after-sales constitutes relatively too much of revenues vis-a-vis new sales in a captive customer business model, new products (strategic initiatives) would be required to lessen the vulnerability of milking a core cash cow." interesting, pointing again at “it depends” as generic answer.
