Scenario War Room

The Scenario War Room skill models cascading what-if scenarios across all business functions, showing how compound adversity (e.g., losing a top customer AND missing a fundraise) creates ripple effects. It produces a structured analysis with severity levels, cascade maps, early warning signals, and hedging strategies.

✨ What it does

  • Models up to 3 scenario variables with probability and timeline
  • Maps domain impacts across all business functions (CFO, CRO, CTO, etc.)
  • Traces cascade effects showing how one problem triggers the next
  • Generates a severity matrix (Base, Stress, Severe) with recovery paths
  • Defines early warning trigger signals for each scenario
  • Outputs concrete hedging actions with cost, impact, owner, and deadline

🎯 When to use it

  • When facing complex risk scenarios with multiple simultaneous threats
  • When making strategic decisions with major downside potential
  • When the user asks 'what if X AND Y both happen?'
  • During crisis planning or pre-mortem exercises

🚀 How to use

Trigger: /em:stress-test

Trigger by running the CLI tool python scripts/scenario_modeler.py or by describing a compound what-if scenario in natural language. The skill expects up to 3 variables, each with a specific change, probability, and timeline. Example prompts:

What if we lose our top customer AND miss the Q3 fundraise?
What if 3 engineers quit AND we need to ship by Q3?

📄 Output: A structured war room report including scenario name, severity levels, cascade map, early warning signals, hedges, and a recommended decision.

⚠️ Good to know

Limited to a maximum of 3 variables per scenario; more than 3 is considered noise. Requires quantified or estimated inputs for meaningful modeling.

❓ FAQ

What is the maximum number of variables allowed in a scenario?

The skill allows a maximum of 3 variables per scenario; more than 3 is considered noise and not recommended.

Does this skill model only worst-case scenarios?

No, it models three severity levels: Base (one variable hits), Stress (two variables hit), and Severe (all variables hit).

What output does a war room session produce?

It produces a structured report with scenario name, severity levels, cascade map, early warning signals, hedges, and a recommended decision.
