The decay your balance sheet can't see.
Strategic Entropy™ is the concept at the heart of Designed to Survive: companies that keep defending assumptions that used to be true decay quietly, until a good year hides a bad future.
Profitable companies die because profit hides the signal.
The plan was flawless. The strategy correct. The execution perfect. And the company fell anyway — because the world moved while the company defended a decision that was once right.
Strategic Entropy™ makes that decay measurable.
