Antifragility Quick Check
30-second triage: is this system fragile, robust, or antifragile right now?
5 minutes
The system
One concrete system. Business, habit, workflow.
Imagine a 20% volatility increase. What happens?
Better → antifragile. Same → robust. Worse → fragile.
What's the single biggest fragility source?
Usually one of: SPOF, opaque dependency, no feedback loop.
What's the smallest action that moves it toward antifragile?
Subtraction beats addition.
Output
Triad classification + one fragility source + one next action.

AntifragilityNot the opposite of fragile. Beyond robust. Antifragile systems benefit from stress, variation, error, and time.Via negativaImprove by subtracting harm - not by adding clever fixes. Removing bad inputs is more reliable than adding good ones.Single point of failureA component whose failure brings down the whole system. The classic structural fragility. Almost always cheaper to remove than to defend.
