Distress Root Cause Analyzer

Diagnoses why a business is in distress by separating symptoms from root causes across four diagnostic branches — revenue shortfall, cost overrun, balance sheet structure, and external shock — then weights each driver, identifies the dominant cause, and delivers a prioritized intervention map. Use when diagnosing a struggling or distressed business, isolating the true cause of declining performance, building the case for a turnaround plan, or determining whether the problem is strategic, operational, or financial.
