Your strategy has blind spots. We find them.

What You Get

A Richards Six assessment is not feedback. It is a structured adversarial analysis of your strategy using the same methodology developed for national intelligence work.

1. Key Assumptions Register – what your strategy depends on, and what happens if each assumption is wrong
2. Attack Vectors – external and internal threats, verified against current sources
3. Competing Hypotheses – your thesis tested against alternative outcomes using an evidence matrix
4. Pre-Mortem – a reconstruction of how your strategy fails, working backward from failure
5. Decision Triggers – concrete tripwires that tell you when to act
6. Blind Spots – cognitive biases distorting your risk assessment

Every finding is cross-referenced. Every claim is confidence-tagged and cited. The report is designed to be read by a decision-maker under time pressure.

Methodology

Richards Six is named for Richards J. Heuer Jr., a 45-year CIA veteran who built the foundational toolkit for modern intelligence analysis. His Analysis of Competing Hypotheses method, his work on cognitive bias in analytical judgement, and his structured analytic techniques form the backbone of every assessment we produce.

Heuer’s core argument: human minds are poorly equipped to handle uncertainty. Awareness of bias does not fix it. Only structured analytical techniques can overcome the limitations of human judgement.

We apply that principle to business strategy.
