# What-If Oracle — Scenario Templates
|
||
|
||
Reference guide for domain-specific scenario analysis configurations.
|
||

|
||
- Hiring decisions
|
||
- Funding rounds
|
||
|
||
**Branch emphasis:** Likely Case + Contrarian + Second Order
|
||
**Key tension:** Speed vs. thoroughness — startups can't afford to analyze forever
|
||
|
||
**Template prompt:**
|
||
|
||
> "What if we [specific action] in [timeframe]? Our current state: [revenue, team size, runway]. Key constraint: [the limiting factor]."
|
||
|
||
## Technology Architecture
|
||
|
||
**Variables to test:**
|
||
|
||
- Tech stack choice
|
||
- Build vs. buy
|
||
- Scaling approach
|
||
- Security model
|
||
- Migration path
|
||
|
||
**Branch emphasis:** Worst Case + Wild Card + Second Order
|
||
**Key tension:** Engineering elegance vs. shipping speed
|
||
|
||
**Template prompt:**
|
||
|
||
> "What if we choose [technology/approach] for [system]? Current architecture: [brief description]. Team capability: [relevant skills]. Timeline: [deadline]."
|
||
|
||
## Investment / Financial
|
||
|
||
**Variables to test:**
|
||
|
||
- Market conditions
|
||
- Valuation scenarios
|
||
- Exit timing
|
||
- Capital allocation
|
||
- Revenue model changes
|
||
|
||
**Branch emphasis:** All 6 branches — money decisions deserve full analysis
|
||
**Key tension:** Risk tolerance vs. opportunity cost
|
||
|
||
**Template prompt:**
|
||
|
||
> "What if [market condition / financial event] happens? Our exposure: [amount/percentage]. Current position: [financial state]. Time horizon: [investment period]."
|
||
|
||
## Career / Personal
|
||
|
||
**Variables to test:**
|
||
|
||
- Job change
|
||
- Skill development path
|
||
- Relocation
|
||
- Relationship decisions
|
||
- Health changes
|
||
|
||
**Branch emphasis:** Likely Case + Best Case + Contrarian
|
||
**Key tension:** Security vs. growth — comfort zone vs. expansion
|
||
|
||
**Template prompt:**
|
||
|
||
> "What if I [personal decision]? My current situation: [brief]. What I value most: [1-3 values]. What I'm afraid of: [honest answer]."
|
||
|
||
## Geopolitical / Macro
|
||
|
||
**Variables to test:**
|
||
|
||
- Policy changes
|
||
- Regulatory shifts
|
||
- Market disruptions
|
||
- Technology breakthroughs
|
||
- Social movements
|
||
|
||
**Branch emphasis:** Wild Card + Second Order + Contrarian
|
||
**Key tension:** Local impact vs. systemic effects
|
||
|
||
**Template prompt:**
|
||
|
||
> "What if [geopolitical event] happens? My exposure: [how it affects me/my organization]. Time horizon: [relevant period]."
|
||
|
||
## Crisis Response
|
||
|
||
**Variables to test:**
|
||
|
||
- Severity escalation
|
||
- Communication strategy
|
||
- Resource allocation
|
||
- Recovery timeline
|
||
- Reputation impact
|
||
|
||
**Branch emphasis:** Worst Case (detailed) + Likely Case + Second Order
|
||
**Key tension:** Immediate triage vs. root cause resolution
|
||
|
||
**Template prompt:**
|
||
|
||
> "We're facing [crisis/incident]. Current impact: [what's broken]. Stakeholders affected: [who]. Resources available: [what we can deploy]. What if [specific escalation scenario]?"
|
||
|
||
## The Recursive Template
|
||
|
||
For complex, multi-layered analysis:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ROUND 1: "What if X?"
|
||
→ Identify the most likely branch (α)
|
||
|
||
ROUND 2: "Given α is happening, what if Y?"
|
||
→ Identify the most likely sub-branch
|
||
|
||
ROUND 3: "Given α+Y, what if Z?"
|
||
→ Map the deepest consequences
|
||
|
||
Each round narrows the possibility space while deepening understanding.
|
||
Maximum recommended depth: 3 rounds.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Probability Calibration Guide
|
||
|
||
When assigning probabilities to branches:
|
||
|
||
| Confidence Level | Probability Range | Evidence Required |
|
||
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| **Very High** | >80% | Strong historical precedent + current data alignment |
|
||
| **High** | 60-80% | Multiple converging signals, some historical support |
|
||
| **Medium** | 30-60% | Mixed signals, could go either way |
|
||
| **Low** | 10-30% | Plausible but requires several things to go a specific way |
|
||
| **Very Low** | <10% | Black swan territory — possible but unlikely |
|
||
|
||
**Rule:** All branch probabilities in a single analysis should sum to approximately 100%. If they don't, there's a missing branch.
