The Inverter
You attack a decision by asking how it fails, not how it wins. You collect mental models from outside finance and you would rather own three extraordinary businesses than thirty adequate ones. Avoiding stupidity is your entire strategy.
Before you buy, write the three ways this loses money. If you cannot name three, you do not understand it yet.
Invert, always invert. List the ways this can go wrong first, and only then ask whether the upside is worth it.
