Activism Defense Simulation

Surviving the White Paper

When an activist investor publishes a 100-page deck criticizing capital allocation, the board's immediate instinct is defensive entrenchment. This simulation forces directors to objectively evaluate the activist's claims and determine whether settlement or a proxy fight maximizes shareholder value.

Activist Claim	Typical Board Response	Fiduciary Response
"Operating margins are 400bps below peers."	"Our business model is unique."	Commission an independent operational audit.
"Capital allocation is destroying value."	"We are investing for the long term."	Publish the hurdle rates and historical IRR of major projects.
