- A short, fast-running diagnostic companion to the Operator Playbooks volume on break-even analysis. The weekly tools detect drift; the quarterly tools recalibrate the structure; the frameworks here pull off the shelf the moment a specific break-even trigger fires. A six-question diagnostic intake routes the reader to the right framework based on which trigger has fired. The three tools, each designed for one specific trigger: **New SKU Launch at Lower Margin.** Run when a planned new SKU has lower contribution margin than the existing mix and the question is whether to launch, modify, or kill. Two worked examples: a food manufacturer evaluating a lower-margin retail SKU, and an engineering services shop evaluating a project-based new service line. **Production Method Switch.** Run when an opportunity to switch production method (in-house vs outsource, manual vs automated) appears with materially different fixed and variable cost structures. Two worked examples: a snack food producer evaluating outsourcing, and a leather goods workshop evaluating semi-automation against high-mix artisan production. **Second-Location Fixed-Cost Ramp.** Run when a second location, branch, or facility is on the calendar and the question is whether the new fixed-cost layer will cross over before cash runs out. Two worked examples: a retail store evaluating a second branch, and a B2B fabrication shop with a signed client commitment evaluating a second-location ramp. Each tool carries a self-scoring rubric, a quick decision tree, and tier adaptations for single-owner shops, mid-tier businesses, and pre-IPO operations. The response plan at the back sequences the three frameworks across the first 48 hours, the first week, and the first month after a trigger fires. This companion was written from the seat of an operator running businesses in Indonesia. Examples, currency, and texture reflect that origin. The frameworks apply broadly to small and mid-sized businesses in other emerging markets and to many developed-market SME settings. **What this companion does NOT do** - Replace *Break-Even Analysis Handbook* (Operator Playbooks 11). - Substitute for the weekly-rhythm or quarterly-review companions. **Who This Is For** - Operators facing a specific break-even trigger right now. - Owners with new SKU, production method, or second-location decisions on the calendar. - Mid-tier directors who need structured pre-decision analysis before committing to a new fixed-cost layer. **Topics and Keywords** break-even crisis response, new SKU evaluation, production method switch, second location ramp, scenario-triggered break-even, fixed cost crossover, SME break-even under pressure
