“KYB Fraud Failure” Failure?

I haven’t run into a lot of ViVi Contras Belleville Brown 429 scammers lately. Though you have.

I don’t think I’ve used my “KYB Fraud Failure” response in over a week.

Have the scammers finally figured out that an anti-fraud specialist isn’t the best target for their scams?

Or have I just been lucky?

Quarterly Close

I couldn’t wait to share this Google Lyria song, “Quarterly Close.” (Public Domain, of course.)

I will be using this song in a video that will be posted to the Bredemarket blog, to my Facebook and LinkedIn Bredemarket pages, and on my Bredemarket YouTube channel.

But you’ll have to wait to see it.

Until Monday, June 29, 2026 at 6:00 am Pacific Daylight Time.

In other words…near the quarterly close.

On Threats

Ask about threats so you can act on them.

If you didn’t already realize it, “the matrix” is a SWOT matrix. And since SWOT includes weaknesses and threats, it’s not pretty.

I said it before.

“Whenever a product marketer asks a generative AI engine to prepare a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)…the PMM is intentionally asking for negative weakness and threat information.”

The weaknesses are bad enough, but the threats are truly debilitating because you have less control over them.

“In a SWOT analysis, threats are external factors that are beyond your control and pose challenges to your business. Factors like increased competition, economic volatility, evolving regulatory landscapes, or even changing market trends are examples of threats.”

But once you ASK what the threats are, you can ACT on them.

  • If the threats affect you but not your competitors, you can plan for them and try to mitigate them.
  • If they affect your competitors but not you, you can take temporary advantage of them while no one else is paying attention.
  • And if they affect everyone in your industry, you may (or may not) want to launch industry wide lobbying efforts.

But you can’t do anything if you refuse to recognize the threats.

The Matrix.
The Seven Questions I Ask.

The Matrix

The matrix need not terrorize you.

Unless your SWOT analysis matrix yields weaknesses and threats that are debilitating.

It’s easy to list your strengths, but honestly assessing your product weaknesses and your market threats requires an objective, expert eye who knows the industry. If you misdiagnose your matrix, you risk building a strategy on quicksand.
