How to read it

Read the cards one by one, then weigh them against each other. The left names the real stake: not only money, but time, nerves, reputation, other people's trust. The right names the return, which is also not always money. If the right card is stronger and brighter, the thing is worth doing. If they are equal, you are trading like for like and spending months on nothing. If the left is heavier, the investment will not pay off in the form you planned. A reversed return card usually means a delayed or partial result, not a total loss.

Positions

  1. The stake

    What you are truly putting in: money, time, strength, trust, reputation, peace of mind.

  2. The return

    What the undertaking will actually return to you, and in what form it arrives.
