Portfolio Stress Test
WINS stress on the bets, GENOMIA on the dependencies, SiliconAIR on the hardware exposure. Priced to the scale of the portfolio, not a single flat number.
Operational Friction & Multipolar Mandate
Why traditional ad-hoc approaches fail at scale, and the precision protocol deployed to resolve it.
Why this engagement exists
Capital commits to strategic bets without knowing how they hold under adverse scenarios. Supply-chain and organizational exposure stay hidden until a disruption forces the decision — at which point the bet, the dependencies, and the hardware exposure all fail together.
- ✕Investment theses are validated on upside scenarios only.
- ✕Portfolio companies’ organizational dependencies and key-person risk are never mapped.
- ✕Hardware and supply-chain exposure is unknown until a disruption hits.
- ✕Stress testing is a spreadsheet exercise, not a simulation of real failure modes.
Engineered scope & execution
We stress the bets you name. GENOMIA sizes the organization and dependency graph behind each bet. SiliconAIR covers the hardware exposure in scope. WINS stress-tests the decision nodes under adverse futures — facilitation is in the fee, compute is estimated then billed on actuals. The price tracks the scale of the portfolio, because a single bet and a fund are not the same engagement.

- ✓GENOMIA organizational and dependency mapping
- ✓SiliconAIR hardware exposure coverage for systems in scope
- ✓WINS stress scenarios on the decision nodes
- ✓Options, critical-node map, and playbooks for the IC or board
What You Take Away
Every deliverable is named, structured, and tied to an immutable operational outcome. Nothing ships as a slide deck with no longevity.
Stress-tested strategic options
Each bet tested under adverse scenarios with failure modes and break points identified.
Capital commits against tested futures — or does not commit, which is also a win.
Dependency and critical-node map
The organizational, supply-chain, and hardware nodes each bet depends on, with criticality flagged.
You know exactly where each bet breaks when the environment turns.
Proactive and reactive playbooks
Pre-written responses for the failure modes the stress test surfaced.
When stress becomes reality, the response is rehearsed rather than improvised.
Shared operating picture
One frame across the investment committee: the bets, the exposure, the responses.
IC and board discussions run from the same evidence instead of competing intuitions.
How This Engagement Runs
Structured gates from initial telemetry and baseline ingestion to verified exit capabilities.
Name the bets
A single decision, a fund, or a supply chain — scoped explicitly. The portfolio scale sets the GENOMIA, SiliconAIR, and WINS units.
Map the structure
GENOMIA maps the organization and dependency graph behind each bet; SiliconAIR covers hardware-bound exposure in scope.
Stress the futures
WINS runs the decision nodes under adverse scenarios. Compute is estimated at configuration and billed on actuals.
Hand over the picture
Options, critical nodes, and playbooks are assembled into a package an IC or board can use, with a readout and handoff.
Interactive Pricing Studio & Scope Engine
Our pricing is engineered, not asserted. Configure your organization profile and estate parameters to see the exact real-time cost breakdown.
Configure Your Parameters
The fee moves on three objective multipliers—Sensitivity, Involvement, and Org Type. Each factor reflects real operational handling and operator time.
Sensitivity
×0.90 – ×1.30 on the engagement feeSensitivity sets the handling envelope around the whole engagement: how data moves, where evidence lives, who can touch it, and what containment we must maintain. Higher sensitivity means cleared handling, segregated evidence, and slower, more deliberate operations — real cost that a flat fee would hide.
Involvement
×0.85 – ×1.35 on the engagement feeInvolvement is how much Multipolar operator time is on the hook. Counsel at checkpoints is a different commitment than embedded delivery inside your team, your systems, and your cadence. The multiplier tracks senior hours actually committed — not a markup.
Organization type
×0.85 – ×1.25 on the engagement feeThe same technical work lands differently depending on who is buying it. Federal and defense engagements carry procurement, compliance, security review, and stakeholder alignment that a mid-market engagement does not. The multiplier prices the coordination and accountability surface, not the analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
