I call this cycle "I love it when a plan comes together" or "the reveal", which shows some of it's weaknesses, or alternatively "the synthesis" which is a little more general-purpose.
The question is whether you are setting up a specific secret plan that you're angling for, or whether you just transmute the random mass of situations into something cool later on.
The former makes you more likely to just set your self up for some cool reveal, or no-one at all, the latter makes you more likely to get scooped in awesome ways by your co-players.
There's a knack to setting up both, putting cool things in to set up new dynamics, which I love because of how you embellish causality in doing so, and equally because of some of the stuff that comes out of it.
