Strategic Readiness Platform
Stop building before you're ready to compete.

How It Works
Six questions. Three dimensions. One verdict.
Based on Henderson's 6 requirements, the diagnostic tests your strategic readiness across three dimensions — Insight, Direction, and Capacity — to determine whether you've earned the right to compete.
Insight
Do you understand the problem, the system, and the time-lags well enough to outmanoeuvre a rival?
Direction
Have you made the focused refusal that creates a real competitive position, or are you still trying to be everything?
Capacity
Do you have the resource slack and organisational will to stay the course when the plan meets reality?
Built On
Frameworks that cut through the noise
Henderson's 6 Requirements
The foundation of the diagnostic. Six criteria any competitive strategy must satisfy before committing resources.
MIST — Minimum Independent Sustainable Threshold
Every iteration must be independently sustainable using only capabilities you actually possess, for customers who actually exist, at economics that actually work today. Not 'when we scale.' Not 'once we add X.' Now.
Position-Posture-Moat
Where you sit, how you defend it, and what makes it structurally hard to take. All three must reinforce each other.
De Facto Strategy
What you actually fund and staff — not what the deck says. The gap between stated and de facto strategy reveals organizational truth.
