# ooda_loop

## Overview
In competitive environments, the entity that can cycle through
observe-orient-decide-act faster than opponents gains decisive advantage.

Originally developed to explain why F-86 pilots defeated superior MiG-15s
at 10:1 ratios in the Korean War. The answer wasn't better planes but
faster decision cycles - the F-86's bubble canopy and hydraulic controls
let pilots observe and react faster.

Key insight: It's not just about speed, but about getting "inside"
your opponent's decision loop, disrupting their orientation.

## When to Use
- Competitive situations with time pressure
- Fast-moving environments requiring rapid adaptation
- Adversarial contexts (business competition, negotiation, games)
- Crisis response and incident management
- Any situation where tempo matters
