[Verse 1] When the unexpected hits your company door Are you ready for what you've never seen before? Ten dimensions tell the tale of how you'll stand When black swan storms sweep across the land Risk imagination, can you see beyond? Dependency chains, are you three levels strong? Financial cushions for the six-month ride Operational flex when you need to pivot wide [Chorus] Score yourself one to five, on each dimension Forty to fifty means strong protection Thirty to thirty-nine, you're adequate but not complete Twenty to twenty-nine, vulnerabilities run deep Below twenty means you're in danger zone When the black swan comes, will you stand alone? [Verse 2] Decision speed when crisis calls your name Communication channels, are they all the same? Insurance coverage for catastrophic scenes Governance ready with authorities clean Cultural readiness for honest talk Learning velocity, can you change and walk? Every question matters in this vital test Prepare today or fail tomorrow's quest [Chorus] Score yourself one to five, on each dimension Forty to fifty means strong protection Thirty to thirty-nine, you're adequate but not complete Twenty to twenty-nine, vulnerabilities run deep Below twenty means you're in danger zone When the black swan comes, will you stand alone? [Bridge] Ten dimensions of resilience Risk, dependencies, finance, and compliance Speed and communication infrastructure too Insurance, governance, culture, learning new Add them up and see where you stand Strong resilience or existential sand The capstone score reveals your fate Don't wait too long, it might be too late [Chorus] Score yourself one to five, on each dimension Forty to fifty means strong protection Thirty to thirty-nine, you're adequate but not complete Twenty to twenty-nine, vulnerabilities run deep Below twenty means you're in danger zone When the black swan comes, will you stand alone? [Outro] Evaluate, calculate, don't hesitate Your organization's resilience rate Black swan planning starts today Score your readiness, find your way
