CORE DEFINITION

Firing along the long axis of the enemy's formation, allowing bullets to cover the entire flank of the enemy's line. Compared to frontal fire, efficiency increases exponentially.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Angle advantage. Do not confront head-on (where enemy defenses are strongest). Adjust your attack angle to find the enemy's 'longitudinal axis' (such as a chain of logical vulnerabilities or supply chain weaknesses), and pierce through them like a skewer.

Anchor fast decisions

Firing along the long axis of the enemy's formation, bullets cover the entire flank of the line, efficiency far exceeds frontal assault (where defenses are strongest). Metaphor: adjust attack angle to find the opponent's 'longitudinal axis' (a chain of vulnerabilities or supply chain weaknesses), piercing through in one go rather than consuming at multiple points.
