Hidden Leverage
Not all value is visible
An intellectual solution for high-leverage investment
The Kaminsky Method helps identify hidden leverage points within complex business systems — to trigger disproportionate change when traditional logic falls short.
It combines interdisciplinary thinking, unconventional diagnostics, and often-overlooked fields of knowledge. The method draws on insights from science, the observation of living systems, and hands-on transformation work:
- Chaos theory and complex systems — to account for nonlinearity, initial sensitivity, and limits of prediction
- Self-organization and emergence — to understand how interaction creates structure, not the other way around
- Artificial life and neural networks — distributed intelligence and local rules: systems that adapt without central control
- Wicked problems — not puzzles with solutions, but challenges that require rethinking how we think.
The Kaminsky Method is applied when:
Strategic and organizational uses
- Strategy must be reframed under deep uncertainty;
- Growth needs to be reignited in mature systems;
- Change initiatives stall without a clear cause;
- Major organizational or market decisions demand a deeper reading of the context;
- The value story is not yet visible on the surface — but can be activated through asymmetrical insight;
Investment applications
- When co-investing with founders, owners, or external partners to trigger transformation from within;
- When corporate investment is aimed at innovation, expansion, or internal reinvention;
- When M&A or financial investors seek to identify hidden leverage beyond standard due diligence.
1. Interactions over elements
We don’t analyze parts in isolation — only the dynamics between them, always in relation to their environment.
Leverage emerges not from objects, but from interaction patterns under specific conditions.
2. No false precision
From the Incompatibility Principle of Fuzzy Logic:
“As complexity increases, precise statements lose meaning — and meaningful statements lose precision.”
3. Perspective is structural
Multi-perspective thinking is like locating a point in space: one coordinate tells you almost nothing.
Insight requires triangulation — at least two frames of reference to locate asymmetry or emergence.
4. The map is not the territory
Korzybski’s principle. We actively distinguish between the model and the reality, so we don’t mistake our language for the thing itself.
5. Delayed causality
In complex systems, effects don’t appear where or when expected. We look not for linear responses, but for cascading consequences.
6. Irreplicability
The Kaminsky Method is never repeated.
Every system generates its own logic; our method adapts to the context, not the other way around. There are no templates — only principles and live interpretation.
Mapping interaction structures and environments
We visualize the system as a network — surfacing tension points, feedback loops, blind zones, and hidden dependencies.
Reframing the challenge
We use cognitive provocations and shifted vantage points to break through habitual framing — not to get the answer, but to ask the better question.
Locating asymmetric leverage
We identify where a precise, minimal shift can set wider systems in motion — guided by the principles of nonlinearity, timing, and environment.
We don’t bring a model. We bring a method — to see deeper, and move the system where it matters most.
There is always leverage. The key is knowing where to look.
