Capital Map (2025)

Last year’s version of the same four questions, and the framework for building each capital. Look for leverage: what’s missing, what’s invisible, and what could be turned into IP.

01 · DOMAIN

M.A.S.T.E.R.

Where do I have real depth?

  1. MMap the terrain — learn how your domain works end-to-end.
  2. AAbsorb patterns — look for what repeats and why.
  3. SSpecialise with purpose — go deep, not wide.
  4. TTeach to reinforce — clarity comes from teaching.
  5. EEvolve with the field — stay ahead of shifts.
  6. RRecognise early opportunities — connect dots before others do.

02 · DELIVERY

D.E.L.I.V.E.R.

What outcomes prove my value?

  1. DDefine the outcome early — align on success before you start.
  2. EExecute relentlessly — remove friction, move forward.
  3. LLearn (or copy) and adapt fast — improvement beats originality.
  4. IIllustrate the impact — before-and-after visuals win hearts.
  5. VValidate with evidence — let the numbers talk.
  6. EEvolve after each cycle — refine the process.
  7. RRepeat until recognised — your reputation is built on repetition, not once-off wins.

03 · INFLUENCE

G.O.S.S.I.P.

Where do I shape direction or create alignment?

  1. GGauge the room — notice who's checked out, who's skeptical, and who's onboard.
  2. OObserve power dynamics — who drives, who resists.
  3. SSimplify the message — one idea, one slide, one takeaway.
  4. SShare the why — connect logic to purpose.
  5. IInfluence with integrity — impact without ego.
  6. PPlay the long game — credibility takes time.

04 · IP

S.C.A.L.E.

What tools, templates or frameworks have I created or reused?

  1. SSystematise what works — don't reinvent it.
  2. CCapture your methods — if you can name it, you can scale it.
  3. AAutomate or template it — because effort should never be your bottleneck.
  4. LLeverage it repeatedly — every reuse builds momentum.
  5. EExpand your influence through reuse — your name starts showing up in conversations you're not in.
