Sentiment Analysis Dashboards
Sophisticated software for tracking brand mentions, primarily used to generate colorful charts that distract from underlying product failures or ethical breaches.
Pre-Mortem Scenario Planning Workshops
Elaborate sessions dedicated to imagining hypothetical crises, fostering a false sense of preparedness while actively avoiding actionable steps for existing problems.

Complex diagrams and matrices used to justify every corporate communication, ensuring maximum jargon density and minimal actual meaning.
