Don’t think this is related to capitalism though, more about attitude to risk.

If you always do the obvious things, you’ll end up as a mediocre company that might not survive. If you say yes to any project that comes to mind, you’ll end up burning all your money and end up with endless projects. It’s important to strike a balance and try to find the right investments others don’t see to create a competitive advantage.

It helps if the culture allows for that. The questions still are relevant, you just don’t always need precise answers, Probe 100 instances and see if it surfaces more than once. Set up a list of things you think you’ll need to be doing and an initial proposition what you think might change. It’s the PMs job to then convince others that it’s worth taking the risk.
