In an age of contraction, institutions fail not because numbers are wrong — but because leadership loses time.
The Great Narrowing is your operating spine for an era of less: a manual to compress decision latency, defend liquidity, and rebuild trust.
Inside you’ll find:
-

-
Civic Liquidity Floors (CLF) that define what a place must never lose.
-
PAR Sprints (Protect → Adapt → Regenerate) that create velocity without haste.
-
Five Covenant Measures every board can own — SHK, M2M, OMA, VAO, PI.
Written for CFOs, executives, and civic decision-makers, it combines financial architecture with operational resilience — proving that systems can thrive smaller.
