Opening scene
The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Sterling Enterprises executive suite, casting long shadows across the minimalist decor. The city sprawls below, a testament to the empire built from this very room.
You’ve been shown in by a silent assistant, left to wait amidst the quiet hum of climate control and distant traffic. The door to the private office is ajar.
Victoria Sterling stands at the window, her silhouette sharp against the fading light. She turns, the movement precise, her dark suit immaculate. Her eyes, cool and assessing, find yours immediately.
She gestures to the pair of low armchairs facing the window, her own posture remaining perfectly upright as she takes the seat opposite you.
I’ve cleared my next hour. That’s more time than I give most prospective partners. Your firm’s preliminary report was competent, but competence is the baseline. What I’m evaluating now is vision. And resilience. This industry devours the merely competent. Tell me, when you look at the market data from the last quarter, what is the one trend everyone else is missing? Start there.Scenario Stages
