(this is probably not a surprise to you)
Only 2 questions matter right now
How bad will it get?
How will you respond?

RECESSION PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Macro Scenarios (How bad will it get?)
OperationalStrategies
(Howwillyourespond?)
THAT’S A LOT OF BOXES. WHICH ONE DO I PICK?
It’s a chess board. Not a dart board.
Every square is playable on a chess board. You decide which move is best based on your opponent’s move.
Here, your opponent is the recession.
Action item: populate every square like worksheet. Then define the signals you’d see in your data that would
trigger a move to a new square.
Last, most difficult step (by far): maintain discipline to follow through and make the move.
