How to test a strategy before it spends a year

A strategy that cannot name what would reverse it is a brand line. Testing is cheaper than a failed year, and it is more specific than a SWOT grid.

A working method

Split the strategy into decisions. For each, list assumptions. Gather evidence on the few that would change capital or hiring. Run a pre-mortem. Score residual risk.

If the only test is 'do we still like it,' you did not test.

How Argumont treats it
