Management narrative stress-test

Pressure-tests the management story on a given agenda item — surfacing unstated assumptions, missing downside scenarios, and gaps the pack glosses over — so you enter the room with a defensible critical position.

You might say…

The CEO's narrative sounds coherent but something about it is bothering me and I can't quite name it.

What it does

Takes the management story on a given agenda item and pressure-tests it — surfacing unstated assumptions, missing downside scenarios, and gaps the pack glosses over. Used privately after reading, to convert absorbed material into a defensible critical position.

Trigger: Use privately after absorbing the pack, for each agenda item where you expect to form and hold a view.
