Angle of Opportunity

An idiom describing an angle, which when exploited, greatly improves the chances of success of an intended move.

Comments:

 

An Angle of Opportunity encompasses all of the other "Angle of" terms, because it is not specific to any distinct type of event or action - but rather a non-specific term.

 

This term is useful during analysis of (a) situation(s), to identify any angle that may be exploited for either defensive and/or offensive purposes.  This is because it allows the mind to not be "boxed in" by any pre-conceived set of the "Angle of" terms.  Which in turn allows for the development of new ways of thinking about a situation, and possibly new "Angle of" terms.  Or, just the identification of the "Angle of" terms used to implement the newly conceived move(s).

Example(s):

 

Using a Complementary Angle to gain entry to a target can be considered an Angle of Opportunity.
