Business Strategy & Decision Intelligence

This skill applies the analytical discipline of a strategy consultancy to whatever decision or situation you bring it. It opens by separating confirmed facts from working assumptions — the step most internal strategy efforts skip — then structures the situation using SCQA framing before moving into SWOT, competitive positioning, or a full option evaluation matrix. Every output carries explicit assumptions, a weighted decision criteria table, and a clear recommendation with a stated confidence level. You supply your company stage, sector, and the specific question; the skill handles the rigour.

A realistic prompt: a Series B fintech founder inputs that the company is considering a price increase and a simultaneous move upmarket, has 18 months of runway, and needs a board recommendation within two weeks. The skill first surfaces what assumptions are load-bearing — retention elasticity, sales-cycle length for enterprise deals — before building out the analysis.

The output excerpt that follows the situation assessment might look like this: OPTION EVALUATION — Option A (hold price, add enterprise tier): Expected value $1.2M ARR, Investment $340k, Reversibility High, Key risk: sales team ramp. Option B (raise price 20%, current segment): Expected value $0.8M ARR, Investment $40k, Reversibility High, Key risk: 15% churn assumption may be optimistic. Recommendation: Option A, confidence 68%, contingent on hiring one enterprise AE before Q3. Next step: model churn sensitivity at 20% and 25% before board meeting.
