SWOT is a foundational tool for strategic planning, project assessment, and decision-making.

A SWOT Analysis helps you break down the big picture into four key areas:

✅ Strengths – What gives you the edge? (e.g., strong team, solid finances, innovation)

⚠️ Weaknesses – Where are the gaps? (e.g., poor cash flow, supply chain issues)

🎯 Opportunities – What trends or markets can you tap into? (e.g., new technologies, expanding industries)

🛡️ Threats – What external challenges could impact you? (e.g., competition, regulations, economic shifts)
