A startup's strategy is a bet on a future that won't hold still. With the founding team we find where your plan breaks if a single assumption fails, and what you can do now so it bends instead.
A fit when
“Our plan works as long as the next round, the big customer and the market all show up on time.”
You know which assumptions your strategy hangs on, and you have options ready for when one of them gives way.
Startups are built to move fast on a few bets. That is their strength, and it makes them brittle: when the funding round slips, the key customer leaves or the market turns, a plan optimised for one future has nothing to fall back on.
The Strategy Resilience Check looks at your strategy the way complexity science looks at any living system: not whether it is right, but how it behaves when the world does something else.
How it works
We agree on a call what to look at. Then we go through the assumptions your plan depends on with the founding team: how likely each one is to give way, and what it would cost if it did. We look for cheap options you can open now, and for the early signs that tell you an assumption is starting to fail.
What you get
- A map of the assumptions your strategy hangs on, and which of them carry the most weight
- A short list of options you can open now, before you need them
- The early signs to watch, so you see a shift while there is still time to act
