Describe a decision you're facing — no company name needed. The tool interrogates the hidden assumptions underneath it using the four questions that matter before any consequential decision is finalized.
The Assumption Stress-Tester runs on the Off Record Strategy decision framework. It interrogates four questions that most organizations skip before committing to a consequential decision: what assumptions are being made, who owns the consequences, what conditions would trigger a stop, and whether the pace of the decision matches the governance structure that has to absorb it.
The tool surfaces what's underneath the decision. It won't tell you what to do with it.
That's where Off Record Strategy comes in.
Most advisory work stops at the framework. Off Record Strategy starts there. What follows is independent judgment on what the framework surfaces — pattern recognition from watching these decisions play out inside organizations, and direct assessment from someone outside your political structure who isn't managing their own position when they tell you what they see.
If the output from this tool named something you've been circling without language for it, that's worth a conversation.
Off Record Strategy is a solo advisory practice for senior leaders navigating AI adoption, acquisitions, ERP transitions, and governance failures — when the stakes are structural, not just operational.
