THE REPORT

Four intelligence products. One hostile review.

Every Murder Board report delivers four structured deliverables, each designed to surface a different class of risk in your strategy.

Pre-Mortem Analysis

We assume your plan has already failed. Then we write the detailed narrative of exactly how it happened.

This isn't a list of abstract risks. It's a specific, plausible story of failure that identifies the chain of events, the missed signals, and the moments where intervention could have changed the outcome.

The pre-mortem is the centrepiece of every report. It forces confrontation with scenarios that optimism bias would otherwise suppress.

SAMPLE EXTRACT

// 2026-01-28

>> FAILURE NARRATIVE:
By Q3, the subject's reliance on "organic
growth" is contradicted by rising CAC in
the vertical. Competitor Y has deployed a
feature that neutralises the primary USP.

The founding team's assumption that "users
will switch from the free incumbent" remains
untested. No switching cost analysis was
provided in submitted materials.

Attack Vectors

Who and what is actively working against you? We identify specific threats across competitors, regulation, market dynamics, technology, and operational risk.

Each vector is assessed for likelihood and potential impact. We don't just name categories. We name specific actors, specific scenarios, and specific timelines.

SAMPLE FORMAT
>> ATTACK VECTOR REGISTER

AV-01: COMPETITOR RESPONSE
Competitor Y launches matching feature
Likelihood: HIGH | Impact: SEVERE
Timeline: 3-6 months

AV-02: REGULATORY CHANGE
Proposed amendment to Privacy Act
Likelihood: MEDIUM | Impact: HIGH
Timeline: 6-12 months

Unspoken Assumptions

Every strategy relies on beliefs that haven't been tested. We surface them and tag each one for confidence level.

SOURCED Verified by evidence in submitted materials.

INFERRED Reasonable but unproven. Requires validation.

SPECULATIVE High-risk guess. No supporting evidence found.

Decision Triggers

Concrete, measurable signals that tell you when to pivot, pause, or proceed. Not vague advice. Specific tripwires with thresholds you can monitor.

Decision triggers convert abstract risk into actionable metrics. Each one maps directly to an assumption or attack vector identified elsewhere in the report.
