Economic Exposure Capsule: A 10‑Minute P&L Snapshot for Every Decision

Core insight: many operational and strategic surprises are economic—they're decisions that quietly move cash, margin, or optionality without an explicit price tag. The Economic Exposure Capsule makes financial exposure first‑class in everyday decisions with a tiny, repeatable habit: attach a single Capsule row (DecisionID | ImmediateCashRisk | MarginLeverage | OptionalityLossEstimate | Owner), run three fast probes (cash walk, worst‑case margin sketch, and replace/undo cost), and choose one low‑friction enforcement primitive (hold a micro‑reserve, tranche the spend, or require a one‑line refund/rollback budget). In ten minutes I define the Capsule, show paste‑ready examples (pricing test, partner rebate, model‑driven personalization with cost per recommendation), offer two constrained assistant prompts to auto‑populate anchors from invoices, logs, or forecasts, and close with a 7‑day pilot: attach Capsules to three near decisions, run the probes, and post one immediate containment move. Outcome: fewer surprise bills, clearer tradeoffs, and decisions priced for reversible action. Fast action: paste a Capsule into tonight’s memo and subscribe. Stay agentic.
