The result is captured as a leverage map and action strategy. | The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success. | A Business Model Stress Test checks how well a business model holds up under pressure and headwinds. It compares strengths, risks, market logic, and courses of action. The result is captured as a stress-test report and action plan per scenario. |
