What this sheet is for
Trace which profitable business funds which unprofitable one, and the donor risk.
It belongs to the Business Model family of work and is built for one job: map. Pairs with: A08 The Cross-Subsidy.
This is a blank sheet: the structure, the prompts, and the questions in order. It carries no worked example, no model, and no manual. Those are what a Strategy Pack is.
