# act: strategy
a brand or brands, a name, a window if any to the strategy, with the standing measures
[figure: The caller sends StrategyInput to /v1/act/strategy. The platform returns a card whose body is Strategy.]
POST/v1/act/strategy
Make a strategy. The call needs the brand rung under a token with the act grant, and it is served by the platform.
The route takes [StrategyInput](/concepts/strategyinput) and returns a card whose body is [Strategy](/concepts/strategy).
## Request body
The request body is [StrategyInput](/concepts/strategyinput).
| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `strategy` | [Strategy](/concepts/strategy) | yes | |
## Response
The route returns a card whose body is [Strategy](/concepts/strategy). Every card ends with a foot that states the basis of each number, the scope of the call, and the time when the facts were true.
## Headers
| header | required | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `Scale-Scope` | yes | the scope the call runs in: tenant/, then /brand/, then /strategy/ |
| `Scale-As-True-On` | no | the date the facts must have been true on; defaults to now |
| `Scale-As-Known-On` | no | the date the facts must have been known on; defaults to now |
| `Scale-Key` | no | for a change, the key made from the input; a repeat under the same key returns the unit held and writes nothing |
A caller needs the brand rung and a token with the act grant. The platform serves this route.
## Example
The example sends the smallest body that StrategyInput allows. The build validates it against the schema of StrategyInput.
