Why we picked it The essay tells you to find your riskiest assumption, this template shows you how to actually surface it. It is a free, copyable 2x2 grid where you plot each assumption by how important it is and how much you actually know, so the top corner (very important, barely known) is the one to test first. That top-right quadrant is your single riskiest assumption, made visible instead of guessed at.

- Write every belief your idea depends on as a plain assumption, then place it on the grid rather than debating it in your head.
- The two axes (importance and how much you know) turn a vague hunch into a ranked list, so the riskiest assumption becomes obvious.
- Test only the top-right quadrant first (critical and least known), and leave the safe or trivial assumptions alone for now.
