What People Are Saying

  • “I recommend the Early Warning Index tool to any company facing change, growth, raising capital, or a crisis. We received a high score and will use it as documentation for board work and fundraising. It is quick and easy, and you get clear action points that work well as a dialogue tool with the board.”

    — Kristoffer Kvam, CEO, smoc.ai

  • "Thank you for a very good workshop and for a concrete tool that is genuinely useful in a turnaround situation."

    — Kenneth Larsen, CEO, Keystone 

  • "As a business angel and M&A lawyer, I all too often see startups fail before they gain traction. Kenneth's presentation and tools help us identify crises early, before they become fatal."

    — Hanne Jessen Krarup, Business Angel & M&A Lawyer 

  • "As an investor, it is essential to have a shared and clear-headed basis for decision-making before problems become visible in the numbers. Kenneth's workshop and tool provided a clear language and a common framework for conversations that are otherwise often difficult."

    — Flemming Sørensen, Business Angel, Board Member

  • "Incredibly insightful — the tool and questions are worth every founder and board's attention."

    — Richard Mager, GM, Simulator Product Solutions LLC 

The hidden risks that KPIs miss

Strategic Drift

The company looks fine on paper, but market relevance is fading. By the time momentum drops, the drift is hard to reverse.

Blind Spots

Friction hides in the gaps between teams. When Sales, Product, and Finance aren't aligned on the same facts, execution stalls.

The “Optimism Bubble”

Founders share good news fast. Bad news arrives late. Boards often hear the real story months after it happens.

The "Stable" Illusion

Traditional KPIs look stable right until the cliff edge. They measure yesterday's success, not tomorrow's risk.

Lagging Financials

Cash problems are late-stage symptoms. If you wait for the P&L to show distress, your options for recovery are already gone.

The Slow-Motion Crisis

Small operational issues quietly compound into expensive emergencies, forcing reactive decisions and destroying value.

Early detection improves success odds by 76 percent.
