What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents portfolio-level capital allocation from becoming intuition-driven by forcing every decision to pass through survivability, reversibility, and stage-aware portfolio health checks across ventures.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Capital Allocation Framework: Applies the four-question framework (expected return, downside, survivability, reversibility) plus opportunity cost, circle of competence, margin of safety, and inversion to assess whether deployment is justified.
- Portfolio Assessment Framework: Scores portfolio health (0–100) using revenue trend, constraint stability, attention distribution, cross-company conflicts, and north star trajectory; identifies compounding vs decay patterns and highlights cross-venture signals.
- Strategic Decision & Advisory Guardrails: Classifies decisions as reversible vs irreversible, weights inputs by track record, requires pain + reflection learning after misses, checks second/third-order effects, and enforces “insight first” communication plus explicit redirect boundaries (Portfolio Advisor vs Portfolio Agent vs CEO Agent).
- Use Case: When deciding whether to fund a new market entry, increase spend for scaling, or prioritize one venture’s constraint-solving work, it provides stage-appropriate advisory structure and prevents generic, non-actionable or overly operational recommendations.
Quick Start
Load the portfolio-framework skill so the portfolio advisor can evaluate your capital allocation and portfolio health decision with the four-question framework and north star rules.
