Crisis Scenario Stress Testing

Use this skill when the question is not "what is most likely?" but "what breaks if reality goes against us?"

The source worldview comes from COVID-19: The Great Reset: velocity and complexity compress decision time and make linear planning weak. Good stress testing forces the system through plausible adverse conditions before reality does it for you.

When to Use

• evaluating a new business model
• testing a GTM plan under bad conditions
• analyzing macro-sensitive offers
• deciding how much buffer or runway is enough
• finding trigger points for action
