  2. 2

    The Incompetence Montage

  3. 3

    The Critical Error

    The protagonist makes a significant, quantifiable mistake related to a core function of the role (e.g., pricing, strategy), raising the stakes of their failure.

  4. 4

    The Clueless Cascade

    The protagonist reveals a profound and fundamental lack of knowledge about the subject matter through a series of basic questions, marking the peak of their incompetence.
