❓ FAQ
What is the core philosophy of this skill?
It prepares you for the adversarial board, not the friendly one, forcing you to know numbers cold and anticipate hard questions.
What should you do if a quarter went badly?
Never let the board be surprised; send a 5-sentence email 3 days before explaining what happened, what you're doing, and what you need.
How do you identify which questions to prepare for?
In a mock board, note every question that made you pause or feel defensive; those are the ones to prepare for.
