Some diseases are likely to emerge at this point for example, shrimp's extreme vulnerability to the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSS) has been demonstrated during stages A and B of the post-molt phase. Indeed, the physical barrier formed by the cuticle is not yet fully functional the shrimp needs to mobilize its body reserves in order to harden and mineralize its weak cuticle. It is especially vulnerable as its shell is just newly formed during the post-molting phase. Molting significantly disrupts the shrimp’s body. The post-molt stage in shrimp: a period conducive to diseases and dysfunction Its feeding activities decrease the new cuticle becomes visible to the naked eye (Figure 2). Pre-molt: The animal is getting ready for the next molt.Its growth in mass is continuous and its feeding activity is stable and at its maximum level. Inter-molt: During this stationary phase, the shrimp’s cuticle is functional.The new shell hardens for several hours (stage B). In order to be able to extend and consolidate its cuticle as well as to adapt it to its new size, the shrimp absorbs a large volume of water (point A). Post-molt: During this phase the shrimp recovers from its previous molt.There are three stages that occur after the molting itself: When its new cuticle is in contact with the external environment, the animal undergoes a relatively critical period. In order to grow, a shrimp has to get out of his old shell (step E). Yet molt cyclicality may be disrupted by significant stress - for example, when ponds are too rapidly emptied - and this sometimes results in postponing the harvest. As often the case in such contexts, it appears that molts are synchronized among breeding populations of shrimp. Sometimes the most limited resource is human capital.Molting is a hormonal phenomenon. Investing in a cash-cow mature business always generates a higher ROI than developing products, at least initially. Monetary-based benefit measures have a negative bias against innovation and risk-taking.Other complicating factors include the following: That isn’t a reasonable expectation for an agile company. However, although we can measure the change in profit, we cannot attribute the change to a given feature unless we do nothing else to affect sign-up conversions during that time. Feature A aims to increase sign-ups by 2%, so we can infer that launching this feature will result in a $40k bump in profit. Based on experience, you know that increasing sign-up conversions by 5% will result in $100k in quarterly profit if everything else remains unchanged. That led us to develop a new approach – MoAR, or Metrics Over Available Resources. We needed a solution to measure and evaluate opportunities more directly than ROI. It was nearly impossible to clearly and consistently tie initiatives to specific outcomes. We tried using ROI but quickly ran into limitations. How could we compare these diverse product initiatives across revenue growth, cost reduction, and risky innovation? We needed to evaluate opportunities that could help the company achieve specific objectives, such as improving engagement, launching into a new market, reducing transaction costs, and taking risks on emerging trends. Years ago, I led strategic planning for PayPal’s product portfolios. Product Portfolio Management (PPM) applies that same approach to your organization, allocating scarce resources to the work that yields the most value. Portfolio Management is a finance concept that refers to allocating investments across different asset classes (based on the assumed risk and reward) to optimize the overall outcome. ![]()
