FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does the ADM Method measure?
It structures an international decision around the level of commitment, five risk families, a verdict and the conditions that could change it.
Why is the level of commitment central?
Export, representation, partnership or establishment: actual intent determines exposure, and therefore the weight of each risk.
What do you receive at the end?
A one-page scoping note, a scored and annotated risk grid, the score and verdict, costed and dated conditions, a risk mitigation path and written limits to the recommendation.
Does the method replace the conversation?
No. A method structures judgement; it does not replace experience or field verification.
