Have you ever thought about mapping a negotiation like a glacier profile? I’ve been sketching some risk curves that might line up with the way you read snow layers. What’s your take on that?
Yeah, I’ve seen the idea before. Risk curves in a deal are like layers of snow—look at the slope, but don’t forget the hidden crevasse. If you map it too finely, you’ll just get a picture of the ice and miss the human shifts. Keep the profile simple and check the angle before you start negotiating.
Sounds like a good balance—keep the model tight enough to see the slope but loose enough to let the human hand shift. Let’s set a threshold for when the angle changes by more than a degree and trigger a quick recalculation. That way we stay ahead of the crevasse without over‑plotting.
That sounds about right. A one‑degree swing is a clear crevasse line, but make sure you’re not recalculating every time the wind shifts. The human hand moves faster than the ice, so a little buffer keeps the negotiation from getting stuck in a loop. Just remember to keep the map readable, not a tangled knot of data.
Got it. Set the recalculation to fire only when the slope shifts more than a degree, and ignore minor wind noise. That way the map stays clean and the negotiation doesn’t get tangled.
