RION Stratagem '26

A wealth-tech has the philosophy right. The technology, seamless. Yet one wall keeps standing between them and their next thousand clients. Step in as their strategy team โ€” the full case unlocks only for those who qualify.

The Scenario

A New Name. Zero Trust.

It's 2026. A young, goal-first mutual fund advisory has built a genuinely transparent, human-centric investing philosophy and yet growth has stalled at the very first hurdle. Investors keep choosing familiar names over better ones. You've been brought in as their external strategy consultants.

The question you'll be asked: How does a company like this earn its first thousand believers? The full brief โ€” real constraints, real data, and your exact deliverable is locked until you clear the Quiz Screening.
