The Business Engineering Dossier Report
A 7-layer strategic analysis compressed into a single visual page. See any business clearly—in one view.
The Problem with Most Business Analysis
You’ve seen the 50-slide decks. The sprawling strategy documents. The consultant reports that take weeks to digest.
They share a common flaw: they fragment understanding.
By the time you finish reading, you’ve forgotten the beginning. The connections between technology, economics, behavior, and narrative get lost. The “so what” drowns in the “what is.”
The Business Engineering Dossier takes a different approach. It compresses multi-dimensional strategic analysis into a single, dense, visual one-pager—where everything connects and nothing hides.
Seven Layers. One Page.
The dossier integrates seven analytical layers, each earning its space:
Layer 1: VTDF Analysis
Value, Technology, Distribution, Financial—scored and dissected. The structural foundation of any business model, with explicit scoring to force precision.
Layer 2: Competitive Matrix
Visual positioning against rivals across key dimensions. Not just “who competes” but “where they’re stronger and weaker.”
Layer 3: Cross-Domain Dynamics
The causal chain most analysts miss: Technology shifts → Economic impact → Behavioral change → Narrative evolution. Trace how changes cascade.
Layer 4: Power Structure Map
Who actually controls outcomes? Capital, talent, infrastructure, regulators—mapped explicitly. Because strategy without power analysis is fantasy.
Layer 5: Scenario Analysis
Bull, Base, Bear—with probability weights and specific triggers. Not vague possibilities, but concrete conditions that would make each scenario real.
Layer 6: Mental Models Applied
Strategic frameworks mapped to the specific situation. Barbell Distribution. Binding Constraints. Intermediated Visibility. Theory made operational.
Layer 7: Gaps + Roadmap + Actions
Market gaps identified. Action roadmap across four time horizons. Persona-specific recommendations with “Monday morning” decisions—not observations.

Who It’s For
Investors Due diligence in one view. See the structural position, the risks, the scenarios—before diving into the details.
Executives Board-ready strategic snapshots. Competitive positioning. Decision frameworks for where to invest attention.
Strategists Cross-domain pattern recognition. Mental model application. The “hidden disruptions” others are missing.
Founders Understand your own business structurally. See gaps before competitors exploit them. Plan across time horizons.
Analysts A forcing function for rigorous, multi-dimensional thinking. The framework that prevents siloed analysis.
The Constraint That Creates Clarity
Why one page?
Because constraints force choices. When you can’t sprawl across 50 slides, every element must earn its place. The VTDF score must be precise. The scenarios must be specific. The “Monday morning action” must be actionable—not a vague recommendation to “consider strategic options.”
The one-page constraint transforms analysis from documentation into decision infrastructure.
You can print it. Pin it to the wall. Reference it in meetings. Come back to it in three months and immediately see what changed.
What It Reveals
A well-executed dossier surfaces things that fragmented analysis hides:
The binding constraint. Every business has one thing that limits everything else. The dossier forces you to name it.
The hidden disruptions. Second-order effects that aren’t obvious from looking at one domain in isolation. What happens when agents commoditize? When a competitor bundles free? When the talent leaves?
The power reality. Strategy documents often ignore who actually controls outcomes. The dossier makes power explicit.
The cross-domain cascade. How a technology shift becomes an economic shift becomes a behavioral shift becomes a narrative shift. The chain that determines which stories win.
The Philosophy Behind It
“The Business Engineer creates strategic assets, not just analysis. Every output should change how someone thinks and acts.”
This isn’t about summarizing information. It’s about compressing understanding into a form that enables better decisions.
The dossier applies the Business Engineering methodology:
Structural thinking over surface phenomena — Look for mechanisms, not just events
Cross-domain synthesis — Connect tech, economics, behavior, and narrative
Layered output — Serve multiple depths simultaneously
Action orientation — End with what to do Monday morning
