A hypothetical situation where TechCorp goes out of business.
What TechCorp should do to avoid going out of business.

Lisa is using the Second Conditional to discuss a hypothetical situation.
The Second Conditional is used to talk about unreal or unlikely situations in the present or future. It follows the structure if + Present Simple or Past Continuous (for the condition) and might / would / could + base verb (for the result). For example:
If I had more time, I would learn a new programming language. - This describes a hypothetical situation where having more time would lead to learning.
If the server were faster, it could handle more users. - The server is not fast now, but if it were, it could support more users.
