Annual operating budget
For an owner or finance lead preparing next year: revenue and costs by month and by team, built from this year's figures and each budget owner's drivers, every assumption written down, capital purchases listed apart, the whole checked against cash, and the questions leadership has to settle.
Business model assumptions review
Before you commit money to a new or revised business model, see it block by block with every claim marked evidenced or assumed, the riskiest assumptions ranked, and the cheapest test for each. You choose what to test; no projection or valuation is made.
Competitor profile from public pages
Your marketing lead gets a dated profile of a named competitor, built only from its public pages: what they say, sell and charge, kept apart from what that suggests and the questions it raises for you. Any figure no page states is marked unavailable, never estimated.
Executive week-ahead calendar review
Before the week starts, the executive assistant hands the executive one brief: every clash, every journey or run of meetings with too little time, every meeting with no stated purpose or no preparation time, and proposed time for the week's priorities. Nothing is accepted, declined, moved or sent.
Group room block pickup review
As a group's room block nears its review or release date, the revenue manager and group-sales owner get one brief: rooms blocked, rooms confirmed, room nights still unfilled, counts that do not reconcile, and the questions for the account owner. A person decides any release or revised offer; the brief releases nothing.
Hiring pipeline status report
Each week your people lead or founder sees every open role on one page: applications at each stage, days open against the target, roles running late, pass-through between stages, which sources lead to interviews, and every blocker with its owner. It counts; it never assesses a candidate.
Interview process review after a hiring round
After a hiring round closes, the recruiting lead gets a review of the interview process: questions that gave no usable evidence, competencies nobody covered, inconsistent rubric use, and revisions to approve before the next search. It reviews the process only; no candidate is assessed.
Job description
A hiring manager’s rough notes become a job description the right people want to answer: why the role exists, the work itself, and only the must-haves that are real. Your approved pay and employer wording go in untouched, and nothing is posted until the hiring manager and the people lead approve it.
Lapsed-customer win-back
Once a month, the owner or account manager sees which regular customers have gone far longer than usual without ordering, ranked by what each bought in their last active year, with open complaints set aside for a call and a short note drafted for the rest, using only approved offers. A person approves every note.
Payroll preparation and timesheet review
Before each payroll run, the owner gets one sheet built from the timesheet and roster exports: hours by person and type, every missing punch and odd entry raised as a question, and an estimated total. Nothing is keyed in, submitted or paid until a person approves.
Policy answers from the handbook
Staff questions about leave, hours, expenses and conduct get answers that quote your own handbook, name the section, and say plainly where the handbook is silent. Anything about one person's own entitlement goes to HR, and no reply leaves until a person has read it.
Price change review
Before prices change, the owner or finance lead gets one review: the margin on each product or service from the sales and cost exports, how costs have moved, what each proposed price does to sales and gross profit across a stated range of customer responses, and dated competitor prices. It recommends no price.
Product pricing options
A product owner weighing how to price or package a product gets one options brief: what each customer group uses, the willingness-to-pay evidence held with stated kept apart from observed, what each option would bill every account, the uncertainties and the tests. It recommends no price.
Range margin by channel review
When a wholesale offer or a promotion changes the economics of a range, the finance lead gets a margin worksheet for every product in every channel, showing which cost layers are in each figure and which gaps are still open. It invents no cost and changes no price.
Referral source follow-up
The day after a partner meets someone who sends the firm work, they have a follow-up draft and a list of every promise made at the table, by both sides. The draft uses only approved materials and nothing said in confidence; the partner checks it, chooses the next step and sends it.
Service roster options
For a department manager building a rota for expected occupancy, covers or events: two or three roster options side by side, with each role's need, the staff confirmed available, the periods left uncovered and the labor-cost assumptions you supplied. You verify and approve; nothing is published.
Site safety induction pack
For one named site, the site, facilities or people lead gets an induction built from that site's own emergency arrangements, rules and hazards, with a short check of understanding, a sign-off record for each person and refresher dates by role. A competent person approves it and delivers it.
Thirteen-week cash flow forecast
The owner sees cash week by week for the next thirteen weeks: what comes in, what goes out, the lowest point and every week below the floor they set, with each assumption written on the page. The forecast informs the decision; the owner makes it, and nothing is paid or moved.
Training needs analysis
For one team, the HR lead or team manager gets what each role must be able to do, how many people can do it now, where the team falls short, and the training to arrange first, with who arranges it and by when. Counted by role, never a rating of a named person.
Weekly owner business brief
Each Monday the owner gets about one page built from the exports they supply: cash, last week's sales against the week before, pipeline movement, the week's commitments and a watch list, with one item to look at first. Every figure names its source, and every missing export is named.
Wholesale order check
When a retailer's purchase order arrives, the account owner gets every line set beside the approved quote and the stock plan: products, case packs, prices, delivery locations and dates, with each exception listed. People decide; nothing is confirmed to the buyer.
