What it is

Negative scenarios and heretical questions help you find where the real problem and opportunity lie.

When to use it

When strategy spins in circles or the team is too comfortable.

How to apply

60-min workshop — answer each question honestly. No self-censorship.

All 100+ frameworks in one PDF cheatsheet.
About:

Agencies execute. Consultants advise. And then everyone wonders why the two never add up.

Clues does both. We look for the clues that point to the right path, and then we walk it with you all the way. Because strategy without execution is just a well-paid hypothesis.

We put this library together because we see structured thinking as the foundation of success. Whether you're working on your next campaign or building a brand-new brand.

Share it, use it, build on it. The Clues team.
