The Concept
An asymmetric bet has:
- Capped Downside: Limited, acceptable loss if it fails
- Unlimited Upside: Exponential gains if it succeeds
- High Probability: Based on data, not hope
Why It Works
Systems thinkers (Visionary Engineers) inherently understand asymmetric risk. Frame your proposal this way, and their Strategic OS automatically classifies it as “worthy of consideration.”
Don’t pitch “guaranteed success”âpitch “contained risk with exponential upside.”
