The Uncounted Method, in two minutes

What fails first?

Every plan stands on foundations nobody counts: spare capacity, maintenance, nature and the people who absorb shocks. Pick your world, name what your plan quietly assumes, choose a shock, and see which foundation gives way first.

STEP 1Your world
STEP 2Name the assumptions

Tick up to three things your plan quietly depends on staying true.

STEP 3Pick a realistic shock

Pick one. Then add a second to see what happens when shocks land together.

What fails firstExample answers. Change any step.

Maintenance

Five pillars standing on four foundations. The foundation that fails first is cracked.

    First fix

    Who else has this gap

    This is a two-minute version of the four steps I use in every keynote, workshop and board briefing: name the assumptions, count the uncounted, follow the shock, fix what fails first. It's a conversation starter, not a risk assessment. Nothing you enter leaves this page. See Maneesh Juneja’s keynotes →
