Competitors rarely share their Wardley Maps, but language models can synthesize likely alternatives so you can prepare without guessing blindly. Treating large language models as hypothesis engines lets leaders surface combinations of doctrine, climatic patterns, and intent that rival teams could pursue. The trick is to design the prompts like Monte Carlo simulations—generate many maps, prune bias, and focus your attention on the handful of plays that would genuinely disrupt your landscape.
