---# /em:stress-test — Business Assumption Stress Testing
**Command:** `/em:stress-test <assumption>`
Take any business assumption and break it before the market does. Revenue projections. Market size. Competitive moat. Hiring velocity. Customer retention.
---## Why Most Assumptions Are Wrong
Founders are optimists by nature. That's a feature — you need optimism to start something from nothing. But it becomes a liability when assumptions in business models get inflated by the same optimism that got you started.
**The most dangerous assumptions are the ones everyone agrees on.**
When the whole team believes the $50M market is real, when every investor call goes well so you assume the round will close, when your model shows $2M ARR by December and nobody questions it — that's when you're most exposed.
Stress testing isn't pessimism. It's calibration.
---## The Stress-Test Methodology
### Step 1: Isolate the Assumption
State it explicitly. Not "our market is large" but "the total addressable market for B2B spend management software in German SMEs is €2.3B."
