Second Ratio
Clarity before irreversible decisions
Second Ratio is designed for decision-makers facing situations where there is no easy way back.
This includes founders, executives, investors, and individuals dealing with decisions that carry structural, financial, or personal consequences.
It is not a service for everyday questions or tactical advice.
It exists for moments where a single decision can materially change outcomes.
How the analysis works
Second Ratio operates through a structured, asynchronous review process.
No calls. No meetings. No persuasion.
Each engagement is designed to surface risks, assumptions, and irreversible points before a decision is taken.
Independent by design
Each analysis is conducted independently, without incentives, affiliations, or downstream interests.
The sole objective is clarity.
Asynchronous and contained
The process is fully asynchronous.
No calls, no meetings, no real-time interaction.
This avoids influence, pressure, and framing effects during the analysis.
Depth matched to impact
Not all decisions require the same level of scrutiny.
Second Ratio operates across distinct levels of depth, depending on the irreversibility and cost of being wrong.
Clear scope and limits
The analysis surfaces risks, assumptions, and decision structure.
It does not provide advice, recommendations, or execution.
The decision remains entirely yours.
Levels of analysis
Not all decisions require the same level of scrutiny.
Second Ratio operates across three distinct levels of analysis, depending on the irreversibility, complexity, and cost of being wrong.
Decision Scan
A preliminary review designed to identify structural risks, hidden assumptions, and early red flags.
This level is intended to determine whether a decision requires deeper analysis.
€1,500
High-level risk identification
Key assumptions surfaced
Early warning signals
Scope definition for deeper review
Not suitable for irreversible or high-impact decisions
Decision Firewall
A comprehensive, structured analysis for decisions with irreversible or high-impact consequences.
Designed to surface hidden risks, misaligned incentives, and points of no return before a commitment is made.
€7,500
Full decision structure mapping
Risk and scenario analysis
Incentive and dependency review
Identification of irreversible points
Cost-of-error assessment
Independent analysis. No recommendations or execution.
Decision Firewall premium
An extended, deep-scope analysis for decisions where the cost of being wrong would be materially significant.
This level is reserved for situations involving high complexity, multiple stakeholders, or irreversible outcomes.
€17,500
Extended scenario and edge-case analysis
Deep incentive and agency assessment
Multiple rounds of written clarification
Dependency and failure-mode mapping
Identification of non-obvious risk vectors
Access subject to scope review and acceptance.
