- Reserve adequacy (12 months vs. 3 months) was the single largest factor in determining survival during COVID disruption.
- Revenue diversification across three streams provided income stability when any single stream could have failed.
- Response speed matters enormously—a 2-week response versus 6-week response created permanently divergent outcomes.
- Downturn preparation decisions made during good times determine crisis outcomes—preparation cannot be improvised.
