Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah built her startup on three calculated bets
Currency exposure, vendor concentration, cyber threats
"We'll monitor these quarterly," the board meeting declared
But quarterly reviews won't catch the avalanche unprepared

[Chorus]
Set your triggers, draw the line
Where acceptance turns to crisis time
When the threshold breaks, don't hesitate
Escalate before it's too late
Numbers talk and numbers scream
When your black swan kills the dream

[Verse 2]
"If the dollar-lira rate climbs past four-fifty strong
For fifteen trading days, our margins can't hang on"
Single supplier discount saves us forty grand a year
"But if their stock drops thirty percent, find alternatives here"

[Chorus]
Set your triggers, draw the line
Where acceptance turns to crisis time
When the threshold breaks, don't hesitate
Escalate before it's too late
Numbers talk and numbers scream
When your black swan kills the dream

[Bridge]
Cyber insurance covers standard breach events
But if three incidents hit in sixty days hence
The underwriters bail, premiums spike high
Acceptance revoked when the well runs dry

[Verse 3]
CFO gets the call when exchange rates explode
Procurement team scrambles when supplier stock corrodes
Security committee meets when incidents cascade
Concrete thresholds save you when acceptance starts to fade

[Chorus]
Set your triggers, draw the line
Where acceptance turns to crisis time
When the threshold breaks, don't hesitate
Escalate before it's too late
Numbers talk and numbers scream
When your black swan kills the dream

[Outro]
Define the moment, name the price
Where rolling dice becomes too nice
Acceptance threshold scenarios
Keep your business breathing, pros
