The idea

Most crisis training tells you the answer.
Force Majeure makes you live the consequences.

Run the cynical, extractive playbook and the scoring grinds you down. Run the community-embedded one and the same engine rewards you. The lesson is structural, derived from the math, and it widens as a player gets better. A skeptic can take the cynical path and watch it fail on the numbers, which is why this convinces people that a slide deck never could.

calibrated to real data
Proven in the research. Practised in the game.

The authors’ 2021 Harvard Business Review study found that firms embedded in their communities were about 3× more likely to stay profitable and 9× more likely to survive a crisis. Knowing that is one thing. Force Majeure makes you do it: every quarter you weigh cost and speed against the community standing the evidence says decides who survives, and the scoring holds you to the consequences.
