EAD (Expected Asymmetric Disruption)

Expected Asymmetric Disruption (EAD) refers to the anticipated impact of a significant change or event that disproportionately affects certain individuals, groups, or sectors. Unlike general disruptions, which can impact everyone equally, asymmetric disruptions create uneven effects, often benefiting some while disadvantaging others. This concept is important in various fields, such as economics and technology, where innovations or crises may lead to unequal opportunities or vulnerabilities. Understanding EAD helps in anticipating and managing risks, ensuring that responses address the needs of those most affected by such changes.
