[Verse 1] Before you build that firewall high Write the memo, tell them why Revenue bleeding, contracts torn Show the storm before it's born Map the risks in business speak Dollar signs and data leak Paint the scene of what could break Document each costly mistake [Chorus] Pre-work framing sets the stage Decision docs turn every page Post-work stories seal the deal Make the counterfactual real Three small habits, massive gains Show the sunshine through the rains Tell the tale of what you saved Every victory clearly paved [Verse 2] When choosing protocols and locks Don't just pick, explain the blocks Weigh the options, trade-offs clear Capture reasoning while it's here Not just what but always why Build your case before time flies Future you will thank today For the breadcrumbs on the way [Chorus] Pre-work framing sets the stage Decision docs turn every page Post-work stories seal the deal Make the counterfactual real Three small habits, massive gains Show the sunshine through the rains Tell the tale of what you saved Every victory clearly paved [Bridge] Audit passed with flying scores Penetration test explores Nothing broken, systems tight Now's your moment, claim the light "Had we skipped our Q2 plan Q3 chaos would've ran Emergency fixes, midnight calls Instead we're standing ten feet tall" [Verse 3] Retrospectives paint the scene Connect the dots to what you've been Building, planning, architecting Show the future you're protecting Quantify the disasters dodged Every bullet that you've lodged In the chamber of "what if" Makes your strategic value stiff [Chorus] Pre-work framing sets the stage Decision docs turn every page Post-work stories seal the deal Make the counterfactual real Three small habits, massive gains Show the sunshine through the rains Tell the tale of what you saved Every victory clearly paved [Outro] Before, during, after too Tell the story, make it true Counterfactuals shine the way Your strategic value's here to stay
