Theta Balance Calculation Formula

Step 1: Normalize to Percentages


                    Total = Core + Edge + Beyond

                    Core% = (Core / Total) × 100

                    Edge% = (Edge / Total) × 100

                    Beyond% = (Beyond / Total) × 100

Step 2: Calculate Component Scores


                    CoreScore = 100 if Core% ∈ [50,75], else 100 - 2×|Core% - 62.5|

                    EdgeScore = 100 if Edge% ∈ [15,30], else 100 - 4×|Edge% - 22.5|

                    BeyondScore = 100 if Beyond% ∈ [5,15], else 100 - 10×|Beyond% - 10|

Step 3: Weighted Average


                    Balance = (CoreScore × 0.35) + (EdgeScore × 0.30) + (BeyondScore × 0.15) + (CoherenceScore × 0.20)

Theta Framework Insights

✓ Strategic Appropriateness (Grove: 91)

47.5% Core, 42.5% Edge, 10% Beyond. Strong Core enabling strong Edge with intentionally lean Beyond. Balance ≠ equal distribution.

✗ Core Overoptimization (Otellini: 44, Swan: 54)

Core at 84-85% while Edge starved at 10-14%. Maximizing today's business creates blindness to S-curve transitions.

⚠ Chaos from Weak Foundation (Krzanich: 48)

Core at 23% while scattering to Edge/Beyond. Innovation without foundation creates fragmentation.

↻ Recovery Discipline (Tan: 77)

Core at 60%, Edge at 32%. Stabilization enables future innovation cycles rather than forcing premature expansion.
