Boardroom Tactical Scouting Briefing
STRATEGIC ARCHETYPE:
Fortified Moat & Legal Stall
Extremely dangerous adversary. High fatality rate across corporate founders. Prioritize defensive preparation prior to audit.
Recommended Founder Countermeasures:
- Moat Barrier in play: deploy Moat-piercing Debt or sustained Loss pressure to deplete their reserves.
- Passive Revenue generation (+4/s): avoid slow, defensive attrition; end engagements rapidly before compounding kicks in.
- Debt/Scandal pressure: maintain high liquidity and legal countermeasures to prevent cascade debt forfeiture.
