Adapt

Question 1

What is the ADAPT model?

Answer 1

Responding intelligently to change, uncertainty, or disruption without freezing, clinging, or overreacting. Its core process is: A = Assess the new reality
D = Drop assumptions that no longer fit
A = Adjust goals and resources
P = Pilot the next workable move
T = Track signals and revise early

Question 2

What problem is the ADAPT model designed to solve?

Answer 2

Responding intelligently to change, uncertainty, or disruption without freezing, clinging, or overreacting.

Question 3

What are the steps of the ADAPT model?

Answer 3

A = Assess the new reality
D = Drop assumptions that no longer fit

P = Pilot the next workable move
T = Track signals and revise early

Question 4

What is the master question for the ADAPT model?

Answer 4

What has actually changed, which assumptions are now wrong, and what small adaptive move gives me the best information and position?

Question 5

When should I use the ADAPT model?

Answer 5

Use it during transitions, uncertainty, new environments, market shifts, losses, or unexpected changes in plans.

Question 6

What mistake does the ADAPT model try to prevent?

Answer 6

It prevents pretending nothing changed, overcommitting too early, and reacting emotionally before understanding the new conditions.

Question 7

What is the one-line rule of the ADAPT model?

Answer 7

See the change clearly, drop dead assumptions, and move through small informed adaptation.

Question 8

How do I know I am using the ADAPT model correctly?

Answer 8

You are using it correctly if you become less brittle, less denial-driven, and faster at finding workable next moves.
