Four areas to consider: biz model, ops design, market composition, customer analysis.
Business model: How do you kill this business? What are the weaknesses in the model What are the door openers, and how can they be negated?
Ops Design: Is your business just a game? The balance between real and virtual.
Market: How is your market changing, vs. how is your business changing? (see Yelp, local review, virtual old ladies, red hats, real local people)
Customers: What do your customers think of you? What games do you play with your customers? Is it your game? Do they willingly play your game? How do you think your customers think? How can your customers kill you, specifically?
