Apollo layer
Build strategy around strengths that create leverage: prioritize what you already do unusually well, then make that advantage more differentiated and difficult to erode. Fix weaknesses only when they threaten the strategy.
Scarce resources produce better returns when they amplify a distinctive advantage rather than bring every weakness up to average. Durability turns that advantage from a temporary edge into the anchor of an enduring strategy.
Ask: “Which strength gives us the greatest advantage today, how is it meaningfully different from alternatives, and what could we invest in this quarter to make it more durable?”
