Example output:

Let's consider how Climate affects our Value Chain.
  * How might we become aware of how the "Competitors actions will change the game" pattern affects the "Cup of Tea" component?
  * How might we become aware of how the "Shifts from product to utility tend to demonstrate a punctuated equilibrium" pattern affects the "Cup of Tea" component?

Let's consider how we should apply Doctrine in our Value Chain.
  * How might we apply the "Use a common language" principle with respect to the "Cup of Tea" component?
  * How might we apply the "There is no one culture" principle with respect to the "Cup of Tea" component?

Let's consider how we can apply Gameplay in our Value Chain.
  * How might we apply the "Open approaches" stratagem with respect to the "Cup of Tea" component in order to create an advantage?
  * How might we apply the "Weak signal / horizon" stratagem with respect to the "Cup of Tea" component in order to create an advantage?
