Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Real opportunity-spotting, paired with real rigor — a rare combination.

Rarely fooled by hype — because everything gets independently verified.

Well-reasoned decisions that hold up under later scrutiny.

Protects against the bad bets that catch less careful types.

Weaknesses

Research becomes a way to avoid ever actually committing.

Good ideas go stale while being endlessly vetted.

Working alone slows validation that a second perspective could speed up.

The cost of inaction rarely gets counted the way a bad decision's cost would.
