Brand strategy workshop
Give your company one answer to why it exists, who it is for and how it sounds. Over about three hours (a planning figure, not yet timed), the owner makes the six choices that define the brand from options an AI assistant drafts, signs off the rest, and leaves with the tests that check it with real buyers.
Business line investment review
For leadership with several business lines: each line set side by side on one basis (fit with strategy, finance-reviewed results, shared resources, open questions) and placed as invest, investigate or reduce commitment, for the leadership team to discuss and decide.
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.
Category sourcing plan
For the buyer or operations lead who owns one spend category, such as packaging or IT hardware: its spend and suppliers on one page, where it sits on a supply-risk and spend matrix, the value levers the evidence supports, and a dated sourcing plan. A person chooses the approach.
Executive situation brief
Before a conversation that matters, with a key partner, a major customer or a co-founder, the executive gets one brief from the records they approve: the short version in a sentence, what is already decided and promised, what each side has said, the question to settle and the choices open. The executive decides.
Investor update
Each month or quarter, the founder gets a drafted update for investors: the headline, key figures against plan and last period, cash and runway, wins, problems told plainly with what is being done, and specific asks. Every figure comes from the company's own reports. The founder approves and sends 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.
Order size comparison
When a supplier offers a bigger discounted order, the inventory planner gets each quantity costed the same way: yearly cost, cash tied up, months of cover and storage fit. The planner chooses the quantity; nothing is ordered.
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.
Supplier bill review and payment-run preparation
Before each payment run, the person who approves it gets one sheet: every supplier bill checked against its purchase order and what was received, duplicates and changed bank details stopped, credits shown, and a proposed run with its total. Nothing is paid until a person approves.
Supplier issue notice
When a supplier bills for more than was ordered or received, or falls short of an agreed delivery or quality target, the buyer gets a formal notice ready for approval: each problem set against the record, the evidence listed, what the supplier must do and the date to reply by. A person approves and sends it.
Supplier performance scorecard
Once a quarter, the buyer or operations lead scores each key supplier from the business's own order and receiving exports: on-time delivery, fill rate, defects and returns, price against agreed terms and order confirmations, with the trend, the evidence behind every score and the points to raise. A person decides.
Supplier quality response check
A quality or purchasing person who has raised a defect with a supplier gets the supplier's reply set against the finding: what is answered, what is not, the evidence still to ask for, the actions proposed and what has yet to be verified. The person decides whether the answer is accepted.
Supplier risk alert brief
When something happens to a supplier you depend on, the buyer gets a dated brief the same day: what happened and who reported it when, what you buy from them, how many days of stock you hold against how long another source would take, how exposed you are, and actions with owners and dates.
Supplier spend analysis
From one accounts-payable export, the finance or operations lead sees where the money goes: spend cleaned and grouped by category and supplier, the few suppliers that take most of it, the tail, needs bought from several suppliers and consolidation opportunities, each with its figures. A person decides what to act on.
Vendor quote comparison
Before anyone signs, the person choosing a vendor gets one sheet: the criteria agreed first, every quote costed the same way, and each vendor eliminated with its reason, on hold with the question that settles it, or shortlisted with its trade-offs. A person chooses; contract terms go to your reviewer.
