Timeless principle

Challenge the customer’s worldview, not just the competitor’s product.

The idea

Use a business balance sheet to reveal how much human possibility conventional accounting leaves out.

Why it works

A familiar corporate document becomes the setup for a more expansive definition of value. Apple positions personal computing against bureaucratic thinking rather than another machine. The contrast makes creativity feel like the missing asset.
