## π **Implementation Protocol**
### Step 1: Field Analysis
```
For each field, extract:
- Core decision problems (π)
- Fundamental challenges (π«)
- Solution methodologies (π οΈ)
- Success patterns (πΈ)
```
### Step 2: Cross-Mapping
```
Create matrices showing:
- Which solutions from A can address needs in B
- Which solutions from B can address needs in A
- Cost and feasibility of each transfer
```
### Step 3: Optimization
```
Solve min-cost max-flow to find:
- Optimal solution allocation
- Most efficient bridges
- Resource requirements
- Expected synergies
```
### Step 4: Validation
```
Test integrated approach through:
- Theoretical consistency check
- Practical case applications
- Measurable impact assessment
```
