A Look Inside the Playbook

Strategic Entanglement is not just theory; it is a practical guide filled with actionable frameworks. Here is a preview of the tools you will learn to implement.

The Deep Tech Readiness Matrix

Most companies are fatally imbalanced, overestimating their technical readiness while underestimating what it takes to prepare the market. The Readiness Matrix is a powerful diagnostic tool to assess where you truly stand and identify your single most significant commercialization risk.

Learn how to run a Readiness Matrix workshop for your team in Chapter 2 of Strategic Entanglement.

A quadrant chart divided into four sections, with axes labeled 'Lab Concept' to 'Validated System' horizontally and 'Lab Concept' to 'Integrated' vertically. The four sections are titled 'The Launch Zone,' 'The Hype Zone,' 'The Dead Zone,' and 'The Lab Trap,' each containing labeled red dots representing different products: Products A, B, C, D, and E.

The Credibility Pyramid

In deep tech, trust must be earned, not assumed. The Credibility Pyramid illustrates the hierarchy of proof points, from foundational signals like funding announcements to rare, transformative validation like a peer-reviewed Nature paper.

Discover how to build and scale your "Credibility Stack" in Chapter 6 of Strategic Entanglement.
