# Run Play to Win in StratEngine

> Run Play to Win in StratEngine to set five linked strategy choices: aspiration, where to play, how to win, capabilities and systems.

Play to Win in StratEngine builds your strategy as five linked choices: what winning means, where to play, how to win there, the capabilities you need and the management systems that support them. Each choice builds on the one before, so the result reads as one strategy rather than five separate analyses. You need the Professional plan or higher, or a pay-as-you-go account.

<Note>
  Play to Win is included in the Professional plan and higher, and pay-as-you-go accounts can run it too. It carries the **Advanced** badge. On Free and Essential, its card shows **Upgrade** instead of **Select**. See [Strategy plans](/docs/strategy/billing/plans).
</Note>

## When to use it

* Your team is trying to do too many things and needs to make explicit choices about focus.
* You're writing or refreshing a company strategy and want a clear structure for it.
* You know where you want to compete but haven't worked out what it takes to win there.

## What you get

The result opens on the **Components** tab. **Framework Summary** gives an **Executive Summary**, and **Sources** lists what the analysis cited.

Under **Framework Details**, you get one section for each part of the framework:

* **Winning Aspiration**
* **Where to Play**
* **How to Win**
* **Core Capabilities**
* **Management Systems**

Standard and Deep runs also fill the **Momentum** tab (trends affecting the company), which means Essential and higher plans, or pay-as-you-go at Standard or Deep. Deep runs add the **Assumptions** tab (what the analysis depends on, by risk), which means Professional, or pay-as-you-go at Deep. See [Work with framework results](/docs/strategy/framework-results) and [Analysis depth](/docs/strategy/analysis-depth).

## Run it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Generate Framework">
    In the side menu, under **Quick Frameworks**, click **Generate Framework**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Play to Win">
    Under **Select Framework**, find **Play to Win** in the **Market & Product Strategy** group and click **Select**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the business">
    Fill in the **Business Context** fields: company name, business summary, industry, target customer and so on. See [Generate a framework](/docs/strategy/generate-framework) for what each field needs, and for loading a saved company or autofilling from a document.

    Then, under **Framework Inputs (Optional)**, answer the questions specific to Play to Win:

    | Field | What to enter |
    | - | - |
    | **Current Market Position** | Your current competitive standing and market share. |
    | **Strategic Ambitions Timeline** | What success looks like for the organization in 3 to 5 years. |
    | **Resource Constraints** | Your key limits in budget, capabilities or resources. |
    | **Competitive Differentiation** | Strengths or assets that set you apart from competitors. |

    Click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a depth and generate">
    On a subscription plan there's no depth choice here: the framework runs at the deepest depth your plan includes. On pay-as-you-go, choose **Quick Scan**, **Standard** or **Deep** under **Analysis depth**. Click **Generate Framework**. The app shows the processing time for that depth, from **\~2 min** for Quick Scan to **\~8 min** for Deep.
  </Step>
</Steps>
