Stick highlighted the main points but without giving priority order :

1 - Avoid backgame structure, i. e. second anchor then third anchor

2 - Extend the prime from the rear

3 - Recirculate your checkers in order to win the battle of timing.

Generally, applying criteria 1 or 2 will generate criterion 3 rewards by forced hits.

So this position is in the range of criterion n°1.
