Every Murder Board report delivers four structured deliverables, each designed to surface a different class of risk in your strategy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your pitch deck, strategy document, investment thesis, or business plan. This is the primary input for the analysis.
Revenue model, unit economics, or financial forecasts if available. Helps us stress-test the numbers, not just the narrative.
Known competitors, biggest concerns, specific questions you want answered. The more context, the sharper the analysis.
