Some business problems look hard, cost a lot to fix, and yet are surprisingly easy to solve—if you know how to look.
This post introduces the idea of the Asymmetric Leverage Zone (ALZ):
When perceived difficulty × available budget is high, but actual effort is low.
We use this to identify opportunities where small teams can deliver outsized value.
Includes a simple scoring formula, pattern recognition cues, and real-world examples (e.g. tax software, no-code, cloud migration).
