RapidKnowHow – Value Creation Map (Lighthouse Logic)
Purpose
Show how clarity becomes economic value — and where value is typically destroyed.
1) Core Components (only 5)
A. Turbulent Environment
Volatility, time pressure, incomplete information, emotional escalation.
B. Critical Decision Point
A small number of decisions become irreversible faster than expected.
C. Lighthouse Intervention
RapidKnowHow constrains the situation to:
- one dominant risk
- one decision
- one outcome
D. Decision Outcome
Approve · Stop · Redirect
(no drift, no delay, no stacked options)
E. Economic Result
Protected & Compounding Free Cash Flow (PC-FCF)
2) One Value Flow
Chaos → Clarity → Decision Discipline → Cash Flow Protection → Compounding Advantage
Value is not created by prediction.
Value is created by preventing irreversible mistakes early.
3) One Bottleneck (always the same)
Delayed or diluted decisions under pressure
Not lack of data.
Not lack of intelligence.
Lack of decision discipline when it matters most.
4) One Leverage Point
Earlier intervention at the decision point
A single timely stop or redirect often protects years of future cash flow.
Small action.
Massive economic impact.
Explain it to a smart 12-year-old
Imagine steering a ship in a storm.
The Lighthouse doesn’t make the storm go away.
It just tells you early:
“If you keep going this way, you will crash.”Changing course early saves the ship.
That saved ship is the value.
