Psychology
Cognitive Biases & Incentives
Why humans behave irrationally — and how to account for it in any plan.
Physics
Critical Mass & Tipping Points
Small inputs can trigger disproportionately large outcomes once a threshold is crossed.
Economics
Supply, Demand & Moats
What determines value, pricing power, and why some advantages compound over time.
Mathematics
Probability & Expected Value
How to think in bets rather than certainties — the foundation of rational decision-making.
Biology
Evolution & Adaptation
Systems that don't adapt get replaced. True in markets, organisations, and careers.
Engineering
Redundancy & Failure Modes
Build in backups. Understand how systems fail before trusting them.
❌ The Man with a Hammer
Using only one discipline's models to explain everything. Every problem looks like a nail when all you have is a hammer.
"This is an economics problem."
→ ignores psychology, ignores history,
→ gets blindsided every time.
✅ The Latticework Approach
Cross-referencing multiple models simultaneously. When several disciplines point to the same conclusion — that's a signal to act with conviction.
Economics + Psychology + History
all agree → Lollapalooza Effect
→ high-confidence decision.
