Ask what jobs have to get done for a goal to be reached, stated without naming any method. This tier sits between the outcome you want and the specific tactics, so each entry answers "what must happen," never "how."

Example

In the decade list, "meaning" is the goal; the functions serving it are "stay close to my kids," "do work I respect," and "keep real friendships." Note that "be a better parent" belongs here, not beside "meaning."
