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.
Pilot acceptance-test preparation
Go into every AI pilot with the test already written: the cases that matter, what good looks like for each and the rule your owner will use to decide.
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.
Prebill exception review
Before the billing attorney opens a prebill, the billing coordinator has every awkward entry marked: rates that differ from the firm's rate table, possible duplicates, entries outside the client's billing guidelines, unclear narratives and expenses without support, each sent to the person who acts next.
Premortem before a decision
Before your team commits to a plan that is hard to undo, such as a move, a launch or a new system, a short workshop pictures it a few months on, already failed. The record ranks the reasons, turns each top risk into a check, a warning sign and an owner, and leaves the go decision with the owner.
Presentation outline and talk track
Anyone presenting to a board, a client or a conference gets a storyboard built on one message, then a spoken script for every slide, timed to the slot and true to their own speaker notes. Every fact comes from what the presenter supplied, and the presenter approves the message and the words.
Press pitch preparation
An owner or marketer with one story to offer gets the outlets and writers it genuinely fits, each backed by a piece they recently published, and a short pitch draft for each. Every claim in a draft comes from facts you supply. Drafts only: a person decides and sends.
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.
Process map and bottleneck review
Map one process step by step: who does each step, how long work waits and how long it takes, where it is handed over and where it gets sent back. Then find the one step that caps how much gets finished, and what to try there first. The owner decides what changes.
Project handover readiness check
When a finished deliverable is ready for the team that will run it, the project manager brings one checklist against that team's own requirements: acceptance evidence, instructions, access, training, support owners and open items. The receiving owner accepts or names the conditions still to meet.
Project intake and capacity review
When a new initiative is proposed, the portfolio owner sees it scored on the business's own criteria beside the projects already committed, the delivery days it would use month by month, and what it would crowd out or push later. The owner accepts, defers or rejects it.
Project lessons review
When a phase or a project ends, the project manager gets one blameless review: whether it achieved what it was for, how scope, schedule and budget moved and why, whether the success measures were the right ones, and practice changes for the team to choose, each with an owner and a follow-up date.
Project scope baseline
A project manager turns an approved brief into a draft scope baseline: the deliverables, what is excluded, the acceptance criteria for each deliverable, the constraints and the open questions for the sponsor. Nothing implied counts as scope until the sponsor says so.
Project status report
The lead of an internal project gets a status report the sponsor can read in two minutes: each workstream red, amber or green with the reason, what moved, who must clear each blocker, the decisions needed and the dates at risk. No milestone is called done without evidence, and the lead confirms every status.
Property diligence index
The transaction lead gets a diligence room in order: every document indexed by workstream, every checklist item and request tracked, and every open finding tied to the report or request that raised it. Specialists judge the findings; nothing is valued or sent.
Property owner report
A property manager gets the month's owner report drafted from the statements and logs they supply: occupancy, collections, open maintenance and the decisions the owner is asked to make, each statement traced to its source and each gap shown.
Prospect list by role and firm type
Before anyone writes a first note, you know which kinds of firm and which roles in them deserve your next conversations. Every firm is tested against your own criteria first and carries a sourced reason, a grade and the questions only a conversation can answer. Nobody is contacted.
Punch list consolidation
The site manager gets the punch list for the next closeout walk as one list grouped by location and trade, with repeated entries merged, photographs attached and a proposed follow-up date for each open item. Nothing is assigned, closed or accepted.
Quarterly business review preparation
Before each customer's quarterly review, the account manager gets a pack built on the customer's own goals: the quarter's result for each, labelled by where it came from, what is still open, next quarter's goals for discussion and a timed agenda. A person settles every question and sends it.
Receivables exception review
The controller gets every short payment, unmatched or ambiguous receipt, possible duplicate and disputed invoice on one list, each with its evidence and a proposed next step, before anything is applied on a guess.
Recorded sessions into articles
A coach, trainer or consultant hands over transcripts of recent sessions and gets back article drafts in their own words: the subjects they actually taught, their key lines quoted word for word, no participant named, and a review sheet of what to check before publishing.
Reference check question plan
After the interviews, the recruiter gets short reference calls aimed only at what the panel still could not establish, put to the referees the candidate named and agreed to, with a note sheet for each call that keeps the referee's own words. It gives no view on the candidate.
Referral programme design
Turn the recommendations your work already earns into a habit: when to ask, who on your own list to ask first and for what, what you give back, the words for each ask and the note an introducer forwards, and how every introduction is recorded. You send each message yourself.
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.
