Choose the few things that actually move the mission.
Most plans fail because they try to do everything. Module 03 forces the cuts, naming the three to five priorities that will define the next chapter.
A frame for choosing where your org's strategy creates the most leverage.
Five priorities: (1) Expand the network of community coalitions, with special effort in communities with the largest health disparities. (2) Build convergence among multi-field partners (schools, land use, transportation, food systems). (3) Focus HEAL messaging on policy and environmental change. (4) Focus on work doable with existing revenues while building a long-term sustainability plan. (5) Use evaluation results to make informed decisions.
What to copy: HEAL cut to exactly five priorities and named where each one bites (which sectors, which communities, which resources). Notice priority 4, an explicit choice to live within current revenue. Naming the no is as important as naming the yes.

Rate each option against the environmental scan and mission fit.
Force the list down to no more than five priorities.
For each priority, write the funder-facing case in plain language.
Publish what you're choosing not to do, so the org stops chasing it.
