Skill Purpose

Use this skill to apply John Brooks's Business Adventures as a diagnostic framework for corporate failures, market panics, product launches, governance breakdowns, regulatory risk, fraud, innovation, and financial culture.

The skill does not summarize the book or predict the future by analogy. It maps a live business situation to recurring Brooks patterns: panic, hubris, communication failure, incentive drift, regulatory lag, product-market mismatch, and institutional fragility.

Core Principle

Human nature is the constant; institutions are the variable. Identify the repeating human pattern first, then examine how structure, incentives, rules, timing, and information flow amplify it.
