System-TÜV

The Metaphor

System-TÜV borrows from German automotive safety inspections (TÜV)—a rigorous technical audit that certifies a vehicle is safe to operate.

What Gets Inspected

Strategic Persona analysis as System-TÜV examines:

  • Human Variables: Will the founder crack under pressure?
  • Hidden Agendas: Are there phantom decision-makers?
  • Structural Flaws: Does the power structure match the org chart?
  • Future Risks: What will cause this to fail in 12 months?

Case Example

PHENOGY Inspection: Investor received confusing narratives about “criminal ex-investors” and founder drama. System-TÜV inspection revealed:

  • The key “founder” didn’t legally exist
  • Official founder had history of pre-insolvency exits
  • Company controlled by anonymous investors
  • Public persona was anxiety-compensation theater

Cost of inspection: minimal. Cost of failed investment: catastrophic. This is the ROI of System-TÜV.
