Know what matters today.

Open the day with the one move that matters most, grounded in current goals, metrics, and this week's plan.

Save one unchanged, unclassified line to inbox.md; the next brief or triage decides what it becomes.

Score what you committed to against what actually happened, then name the pattern that keeps repeating.

Read the month back against the company charter and identify drift after the financial close is complete.

Record an irreversible decision, why it was made, and the evidence that would justify reversing it.

Turn a pile of obligations into one priority, price the cost of the rest, and route each item to an owner.

Keep live obligations capped, dated, owned, and able to expire instead of becoming an endless wish list.

Describe one unclear situation and receive exactly one owner and next workflow.

Trace a material decision from dated evidence through options, recommendation, and Board challenge.

Close the old quarter's bets and commit to at most three new ones, each with a measurable kill condition.

Price what a bet costs when it is wrong and cap the downside before it enters company goals.

Force a verdict when the judgment date arrives, using the original threshold and naming sunk cost out loud.

Open a test whose threshold is written before any result exists, and close it on its judgment date either way.

Review twelve months of decisions and score the quality of judgment, not whether luck produced a good outcome.

Attack a finished plan as a hostile reader and return a verdict, not a polite list of concerns.

List what must be true, remove what already has evidence, and rank the rest by the cost to test.

Assume the plan is dead six months from now and tell the failure story while it can still change the plan.

Narrow the ideal customer until the definition excludes real, nameable people—not just vague adjectives.

Turn bespoke work into a clear buyer outcome with an explicit boundary a prospect can repeat.

Price against the buyer's outcome and real alternative, then put your walk-away floor in writing.

Give every deal a next action with a date—or remove it from the pipeline.

Draft a first contact or follow-up from the prospect's problem, never from “just checking in.”

Draft a qualified proposal with scope, price, exclusions, and an expiry date after capacity is confirmed.

Reconstruct why a deal ended from the record and the prospect's own words while the evidence is fresh.

Compute real deliverable hours before saying yes to a client, extra scope, or a start date.

Rule whether a client request is inside scope by checking it against the proposal and its exclusions.

Score payment, scope, tone, and effort before an engagement turns into a crisis or reaches renewal.

Compare estimated with actual hours within five days of shipping, before memory rewrites the project.

Close the month on revenue booked, cash collected, and the effective hourly rate actually earned.

Calculate months of survival at real burn, discounting pipeline value by the stage of each deal.

Rank clients by effective hourly rate to show exactly where margin is disappearing.

Read the three behaviours you can still change this week against their normal range, before the month closes on you.

Decide whether a rate should rise, by how much, and prepare the script when the numbers justify it.

Turn this quarter's bets into dated blocks before the week fills itself with other people's priorities.

Compare where the week was meant to go with where it actually went, using the calendar as evidence.

Find the hours when your output is consistently good or poor from the accumulated calendar record.

Name the capability gap between the offer sold today and the offer current bets require.

Attach one needed capability to one real project and one deadline that forces practice.

Plan what gets published against the ICP and the number of pieces you actually shipped last month.

Learn your voice from writing you really sent, including the edits you made before sending it.

Draft one planned piece around one useful idea you learned by doing—not to fill an empty slot.

Collect the exact language your ICP uses for the problem before deciding what to publish.

Map real relationships by category and days since meaningful contact before reaching for cold outreach.

Surface up to five overdue relationships and give each person a real reason to hear from you.

Use payback arithmetic to decide whether a manual task is worth automating before building anything.

Find software you pay for but do not use and prepare a cancel list before renewals arrive.

Compose a bug report from the run that went wrong and hand you a prefilled GitHub link to send yourself.

Rank active businesses, split this week's hours and cash, and say plainly what that allocation is starving.

Load dated charter, goals, and metrics before advice begins, including the active business slug when needed.

Render the workspace as one local page, every number printed beside the file and section it came from.

Diagnose workspace rot—missing files, stale metrics, orphan clients, broken bets, and silent cadences—before repairing it.

Interview the founder, scaffold the workspace, route every answer to its owner, and produce the first brief.

Enforce the hard refusals: nothing outbound, nothing paid, and professional escalation for regulated advice.

Classify every external claim as fact, validate, or disregard before it enters canonical company state.

Add a workflow, file, or role this package does not ship—or name the packaged agent that already owns the decision and stop.

Schedule ten recurring reviews per business, plus one portfolio review when multiple active businesses make it relevant.

Resolve every workspace write against the ownership map and hand it to the correct role when needed.
