Apply mechanism design (reverse game theory) to engineer incentive-compatible rules for allocation problems. Use this skill when the user needs to design auctions, voting systems, or matching markets, or when evaluating whether a proposed mechanism satisfies incentive compatibility and individual rationality constraints.
Apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate expected returns and assess risk-return tradeoffs. Use this skill when the user needs to calculate expected return on an asset, interpret beta as systematic risk exposure, evaluate whether an investment compensates for risk, or when they ask 'what return should I expect', 'what is the risk premium', or 'how does beta affect pricing'.
Apply social capital theory (Putnam, Coleman, Bourdieu, Burt) to analyze how network structures and trust generate value or impose constraints. Use this skill when the user needs to evaluate bridging vs bonding capital, identify structural holes or network closure benefits, assess community or organizational trust dynamics, or when they ask 'how does our network create value', 'are we too insular', or 'where are the structural holes we can exploit'.
Apply the Born Global framework to analyze firms that internationalize rapidly from inception under resource constraints. Use this skill when the user needs to evaluate whether a startup or SME can pursue early internationalization, identify the capabilities enabling born globals, or design a resource-constrained international market entry strategy.
Calculate Cpk process capability index to assess whether a process meets specification requirements. Use this skill when the user needs to evaluate process capability, compare processes, or determine if quality targets are achievable — even if they say 'can our process meet spec', 'process capability', or 'Cpk calculation'.
Apply the Dynamic Capabilities framework (Teece et al., 1997) — sensing, seizing, and transforming — to analyze how firms adapt, integrate, and reconfigure competences in rapidly changing environments. Use this skill when the user needs to explain why some firms sustain advantage while others decline, evaluate organizational agility, distinguish operational from strategic capabilities, or when they ask 'how do we stay competitive as the market shifts', 'why did this firm fail to adapt', or 'what capabilities do we need to build'.
Calculate and analyze promotional ROI including incremental sales lift, margin impact, and promo type comparison. Use this skill when the user needs to evaluate whether a promotion was profitable, compare promotion types, simulate promo scenarios, or optimize promotional spending — even if they say 'was this sale worth it', 'which promo type works best', 'are we giving away too many discounts', or 'plan our next promotion'.
Apply Weick's sensemaking theory to analyze how individuals and organizations construct meaning from ambiguous situations. Use this skill when the user needs to analyze organizational responses to crises, understand how interpretive frames shape action, diagnose breakdowns in collective understanding, or when they ask 'how did they interpret this situation', 'why did the organization fail to see the warning signs', or 'how do people make sense of disruption'.
Analyze financial health using ratio categories: profitability, liquidity, leverage, efficiency, and valuation. Use this skill when the user needs to assess a company's financial performance, compare companies, evaluate creditworthiness, or prepare financial due diligence — even if they say 'is this company financially healthy', 'analyze these financial statements', or 'compare these two companies'.
Apply constructivist learning theory to design instruction based on active knowledge construction, scaffolding, and the zone of proximal development. Use this skill when the user needs to design learner-centered instruction, apply Vygotsky's ZPD or scaffolding principles, or evaluate learning environments for constructivist alignment — even if they say 'how do people really learn', 'student-centered design', or 'scaffolding for learners'.
Apply the Fama-French three-factor model to decompose asset returns into market, size, and value factors. Use this skill when the user needs to explain cross-sectional return differences, evaluate fund performance beyond CAPM alpha, assess small-cap or value tilts in a portfolio, or when they ask 'why do small caps earn more', 'is value premium real', or 'what factors drive returns'.
Conduct statistical hypothesis testing including null/alternative hypothesis formulation, p-values, Type I/II errors, and test statistic selection. Use this skill when the user needs to determine whether a result is statistically significant, choose the right statistical test, interpret p-values correctly, or evaluate research findings — even if they say 'is this result significant', 'which statistical test should I use', or 'what does this p-value mean'.
