Overview
The externship applied Eric Ries's Incorruptible 4 lens to diagnose strategic weaknesses in major brands. The work surveyed each lens, practiced diagnostic techniques, and applied them to brand examples using the framework. The deliverables were structured diagnostic notes and an initial Incorruptible assessment.
What I've accomplished
I learned and applied the Incorruptible 4 diagnostic framework, practiced using its lenses on large-brand examples, and produced structured notes that captured observed strategic risks and weaknesses.
