[Verse 1] In the boardroom where decisions get made First impressions set the stage Not every option gets its day Sequential cuts pave the way One criterion rules them all Makes the mighty options fall Before analysis can begin The framing game decides who wins [Chorus] It's polyheuristic theory Sequential elimination clearly First cut rules, then analyze The best option never tries Frame the game, control the space Only survivors get their case Not optimal, just what remains When the filtering process reigns [Verse 2] Meeting starts with preset rules Eliminating half the tools Budget cap or timeline crunch Cuts the choices with one punch Comprehensive review delayed For the options that have stayed But the perfect path unseen Falls victim to the screening [Chorus] It's polyheuristic theory Sequential elimination clearly First cut rules, then analyze The best option never tries Frame the game, control the space Only survivors get their case Not optimal, just what remains When the filtering process reigns [Bridge] Who controls the initial frame Controls the entire decision game Single criteria dominate Before the teams can evaluate Large orgs see the train approaching But their process keeps encroaching On the wisdom they could find If they didn't screen so blind [Chorus] It's polyheuristic theory Sequential elimination clearly First cut rules, then analyze The best option never tries Frame the game, control the space Only survivors get their case Not optimal, just what remains When the filtering process reigns [Outro] The power lies in setting screens Not in complex analysis schemes Frame the question, win the day That's the polyheuristic way
