Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take your business continuity plan in hand
Time to test it with a different lens
Score it against three frameworks, understand
Where assumptions hide and resilience ends
Look for gaps where black swans could break through
What you thought was solid might not be true

[Chorus]
Framework gap analysis, find the cracks
Score against three, identify what lacks
Five assumptions that would fall apart
When black swans strike, make a better start
Modify without complexity's weight
Build resilience before it's too late

[Verse 2]
Emergency contacts might disappear
Single vendors could just shut their doors
Key personnel assumptions we hold dear
Communication channels, are you sure?
Recovery timelines based on normal days
Black swan events don't follow usual ways

[Chorus]
Framework gap analysis, find the cracks
Score against three, identify what lacks
Five assumptions that would fall apart
When black swans strike, make a better start
Modify without complexity's weight
Build resilience before it's too late

[Bridge]
For each assumption that you discover
Propose a change that provides cover
Keep it simple, keep it clean
Most resilient plans are lean
Backup systems, diverse supply
Multiple pathways, don't rely

[Verse 3]
Geographic spread of your resources
Alternative communication sources
Cross-trained teams and flexible roles
Scenario planning that controls
The unexpected nature of the storm
Adaptive strategies become the norm

[Chorus]
Framework gap analysis, find the cracks
Score against three, identify what lacks
Five assumptions that would fall apart
When black swans strike, make a better start
Modify without complexity's weight
Build resilience before it's too late

[Outro]
Score your plan and find what's weak
Five assumptions, solutions you seek
Framework analysis shows the way
To survive another black swan day
