What problem does it solve? Most frameworks for evaluating risk rely on probability estimates that fail under uncertainty. This Skill provides Taleb's Triad — a classification method that sorts any system, institution, idea, or organism by how it responds to volatility and stressors, without requiring probability forecasts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Triad Classification: Sorts entities into fragile (harmed by shocks), robust (indifferent), or antifragile (gains from stress) using convex/concave response functions. - Cross-Domain Mapping: Applies the framework to politics, economics, biology, and knowledge — e.g., city-states vs. empires, artisans vs. bankers, heuristics vs. theories. - Fragilization Detection: Identifies when suppressing volatility (bailouts, over-optimization) accumulates hidden systemic risk. - Use Case: Evaluate whether a startup's business model is antifragile to market volatility but fragile to cash-flow interruption, and identify which stressors matter most. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to classify a system, business, or policy using the Fragile/Robust/Antifragile triad and explain its response to volatility.
