Frequently asked questions
What is a confrontation matrix?
A strategy tool that takes SWOT factors and crosses them into four quadrants — SO, ST, WO, WT — so you generate concrete strategies instead of just listing factors.
Can I import my SWOT?
Yes — click "Import SWOT JSON" inside the Factors section. It loads all S/W/O/T items from a SWOT export so you don't retype them.
Is this the same as a TOWS matrix?
Yes — the confrontation matrix and TOWS matrix are the same concept (TOWS just reverses the letters to highlight external factors first).
