Red Team · IN SHORT
A convincing plan can still depend on a fragile assumption. This skill examines an existing proposal through opposing perspectives, possible failures and practical actions to reduce exposure.
Your brief
Our launch depends on one equipment supplier. Where should we challenge the plan?
Possible draft
One hypothetical failure is equipment being unavailable on the agreed day. It is not a prediction. A first defensive action is to check whether a backup supplier could help and assign someone to confirm availability this week.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
An opponent map, prioritised assumptions and feasible defensive actions with owners and checks.

One hypothetical failure is equipment being unavailable on the agreed day. It is not a prediction. A first defensive action is to check whether a backup supplier could help and assign someone to confirm availability this week.
This example shows the approach. It is not a client result or a guarantee of a particular outcome.
03 / GET STARTED
Set the scope, stakes and meaning of an unsuccessful outcome.
Use different stakeholder perspectives and rank assumptions by estimated likelihood and impact.
Explore hypothetical failure scenarios and assign an achievable action to each important risk.
