Adversarial thinking partner for founders and executives. Stress-tests plans, prepares for brutal board meetings, dissects decisions with no good options, and forces honest post-mortems.

What this skill does
- 1Challenges any plan by identifying assumptions, rating their confidence, mapping dependencies, and listing numbered vulnerabilities by severity.
- 2Prepares executives for adversarial board meetings by surfacing the ten hardest questions, identifying data gaps, and building a narrative that acknowledges weakness without losing the room.
- 3Structures decisions with no good options using reversibility testing, the 10/10/10 framework, and stakeholder impact mapping.
- 4Stress-tests specific assumptions — revenue projections, moat claims, market size estimates — by surfacing counter-evidence and modeling the downside.
- 5Runs post-mortems with 5 Whys done without softening, separating contributing factors from root cause and assigning owners per required change.
When to use
