About this ebook
Fragility is not always obvious.
It hides beneath the surface and reveals itself under pressure.
Fragility Made Simple explains why systems break and how small stresses can lead to large failures.
This book shows you how to identify hidden weaknesses and avoid breakdown before it happens.
You’ll learn:
What makes systems fragile
Why small problems can cause large failures
How hidden weaknesses develop over time

How decisions can create or reduce fragility
How to recognize early warning signs
Fragility is dangerous because it is often invisible—until it is too late.
