What Makes It Different
A Risk Check Built on Chaos-Aware Thinking
Most risk checks look at a decision in isolation. The Risk Analyzer tests it through five lenses taken from The Butterfly in the Boardroom, so you see how the move behaves inside a complex organization.
Attractors
Checks whether the move feeds the pattern your company keeps returning to under pressure, so you can see a deeper attractor problem early.
S-curves
Looks at the move against the growth curve: a slow start, rapid acceleration and a plateau where the old model reaches its limits.
Feedback loops
Tests how the move will feed back into the system, and whether the signals will reach you early or late.
Reversibility
Asks how easily you could undo the move if it goes wrong, so you can favor small, reversible steps.
Blast radius
Considers how far a mistake could spread through the organization before it is contained.
A named risk pattern
You get a structured analysis showing whether the move creates stability, overload, oscillation or a deeper attractor problem, before the wrong move becomes a pattern.
How It Works
Most leaders can complete the assessment in approximately five to seven minutes.

Get a structured analysis showing whether the move creates stability, overload, oscillation, or a deeper attractor problem.
Built from the ideas in The Butterfly in the Boardroom
This tool is based on the book's central idea that the most important leadership questions aren't just "What should we do?" but "What curve are we on?", "What attractor are we in?", and "What rules are keeping us there?" Durable change comes from reading the system honestly and changing the rules that shape behavior — not from slogans, rebranding, or heroic rescue.
Who the Risk Analyzer Helps?
Designed for owners, founders, executives, leadership teams and operational leaders who are responsible for growth but are tired of watching good plans break for reasons that only become obvious afterward.
- Your company is growing faster than its systems.
- The same problems keep returning in different forms.
- Too many decisions still depend on one person.
- Teams report progress, but important risks still arrive as surprises.
- You're preparing for a transition, expansion, restructuring or leadership change.
- You want a more useful way to discuss organizational risk with your leadership team.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Risk Analyzer
What is the Risk Analyzer?
The Risk Analyzer is a free tool based on The Butterfly in the Boardroom. It helps you test a real business move through the lenses of attractors, S-curves, feedback loops, reversibility and blast radius, before the wrong move becomes a pattern.
How does the Risk Analyzer work?
There are three steps. First, describe the real business decision, pressure point or growth move you are facing. Second, add the action you are considering, such as a new hire, expansion, offer, restructure or major initiative. Third, read the risk pattern: a structured analysis of whether the move creates stability, overload, oscillation or a deeper attractor problem.
How long does it take?
Most leaders can complete the assessment in approximately five to seven minutes.
Who is the Risk Analyzer for?
It is designed for owners, founders, executives, leadership teams and operational leaders who are responsible for growth.
How do I read the results?
The results show the risk pattern in the move you are considering: whether it creates stability, overload, oscillation or a deeper attractor problem. An attractor is a recognizable pattern a company keeps returning to under pressure. Use the analysis to decide whether to go ahead, change the move or test it on a smaller scale first.
Does the Risk Analyzer predict what will happen?
No. A business behaves like a complex system, so no tool can reliably predict long-range outcomes. The Risk Analyzer is a thinking tool. It helps you see hidden risk in a decision before you commit, so you can choose with clearer eyes.
Is the Risk Analyzer free, and why does it ask for my email?
Yes, access is free. You enter your email to unlock the tool. There is no spam, you will receive occasional insights on leadership, culture and decision-making, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
