PESTLE analysis: six lenses on the macro environment

Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental categories in one scan. Each card holds up to four factors, and unedited cards show the canonical prompts from Aguilar's environmental scanning.

Capture up to four factors in each category, then read the grid as a whole: the categories with the most movement are the ones your strategy has to answer, and an empty card usually means the scan has a blind spot rather than a quiet quarter.

Up to four factors per category.

Open a category and add the factors your scan surfaced. This line tracks coverage across the six.
