[Verse 1] When black swans descend without warning bells Traditional risk math crumbles and fails Can't measure chaos in acceptable loss Need minimum viable ops when storms cross How many months of zero revenue flow Before the company flatlines below Cash reserves that keep creditors calm When currency exposure sounds the alarm [Chorus] Minimum viable, that's the key Financial, operational, what must we keep Reputational bonds we cannot break Regulatory lines for survival's sake When catastrophe strikes without a trace Define the floor, not the acceptable space [Verse 2] Which processes run at any cost paid Which can pause for weeks while storms fade Skeleton crew in survival mode tight Stakeholder trust that must burn bright Criminal compliance stays absolute Civil penalties become more mute Emergency powers shift the game But core obligations remain the same [Chorus] Minimum viable, that's the key Financial, operational, what must we keep Reputational bonds we cannot break Regulatory lines for survival's sake When catastrophe strikes without a trace Define the floor, not the acceptable space [Bridge] Existential versus merely pain Draw those borders crystal plain Black swans laugh at normal rules Minimum thresholds are your tools [Outro] When the unthinkable becomes real Know your floor, know what you feel Viable minimums see you through Black swan planning, tried and true
