Second Ratio

Clarity before irreversible decisions

Second Ratio is designed for decision-makers facing situations where there is no easy way back.


This includes founders, executives, investors, and individuals dealing with decisions that carry structural, financial, or personal consequences.


It is not a service for everyday questions or tactical advice.

It exists for moments where a single decision can materially change outcomes.

How the analysis works

Second Ratio operates through a structured, asynchronous review process.


No calls. No meetings. No persuasion.


Each engagement is designed to surface risks, assumptions, and irreversible points before a decision is taken.


Independent structural analysis for high-impact and irreversible decisions.


Protocol-driven. Asynchronous. Anonymous by design.



Independent by design

Each analysis is conducted independently, without incentives, affiliations, or downstream interests.

The sole objective is clarity.


Asynchronous and contained

The process is fully asynchronous.

No calls, no meetings, no real-time interaction.

This avoids influence, pressure, and framing effects during the analysis.

Depth matched to impact

Not all decisions require the same level of scrutiny.

Second Ratio operates across distinct levels of depth, depending on the irreversibility and cost of being wrong.

Clear scope and limits

The analysis surfaces risks, assumptions, and decision structure.

It does not provide advice, recommendations, or execution.

The decision remains entirely yours.

Levels of analysis


Decision complexity is not uniform.



Second Ratio operates across three distinct levels of analysis, depending on the irreversibility, complexity, and cost of being wrong.

LEVEL I — STRUCTURAL REVIEW


For bounded decisions with limited externalities.


Focuses on framing integrity, assumptions, and first-order failure vectors.



Indicative fee: from €1,500


LEVEL II — SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS


For high-impact decisions involving incentives, dependencies, or coordination risk.


Includes second-order effects, incentive asymmetries, and non-linear feedback loops.



Indicative fee: from €7,500

LEVEL III — IRREVERSIBLE DECISION ANALYSIS


For decisions with asymmetric downside or long-term lock-in.


Designed to surface non-obvious failure modes before commitment.



Indicative fee: from €17,500
