Different writers explain the same business decline in different ways, and a strategist must learn to tell what is evidence and what is opinion.

Student committees only discuss what went wrong after an event, when it is too late to change anything.

Bus stop boards are crowded and confusing, so travellers ask strangers or give up and take an auto.

A small maker choosing where to sell online faces different fees, rules and support on each marketplace, and the differences decide who stays.
