Acceptance criteria sheet
Hand a developer or agency a story with its definition of done written down: testable expected behaviours, error cases and edge cases, each traced to a rule or design state, with the unclear terms and open questions listed for the product owner.
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.
Asset register to invoice reconciliation
When new equipment, transfers or retirements must reach the reporting pack, the asset accountant gets a proposed register update matched to purchase records, commissioning evidence and the ledger, with duplicate IDs, unmatched invoices and uncertain in-service dates listed.
Asset replacement options comparison
When an aging asset has more than one proposed replacement or upgrade, the finance lead and the engineering owner get one workbook: the supplied costs, operating assumptions and lives on one basis, with price-basis gaps, unverified savings and open sensitivity questions marked. It recommends no spend.
Assumption map
For a product owner whose plan rests on beliefs nobody has tested: each belief is written down, set against the evidence you hold, ranked by what it would do to the plan, and given a cheap test to choose from. You decide what to test; no evidence is invented.
Audit evidence index
The quality lead gets an index of everything an audit has asked to see: each request linked to the document that answers it, its version and owner, the records found and the gaps. The quality owner decides what is shared; nothing is certified or sent.
Audit preparation
Before the external auditors arrive, your controller holds one audit pack: every request with its owner, date, document and status, the control evidence they will test, last year's findings and what was done, and draft answers to the questions they will ask. People approve everything before it goes.
Bank reconciliation preparation
Before the month is signed off, your bookkeeper holds one bank reconciliation for one account: every statement line matched to the books or explained, every open item aged, a proof that the two balances agree, and the entries still to make. Nothing is posted until a person approves.
Board meeting pack
Before each board meeting, the CEO gets a pre-read built on the one decision the board is asked to make, with every figure from the company's own reports, an agenda kept mostly for discussion and the questions directors are likely to ask. Afterwards, a record of what was decided. The CEO sends it all.
Board minutes draft
After a board meeting, the secretary gets draft minutes built only from what they supply: notes, agenda, motion text and vote record. Attendance, motions, votes, documents and actions are laid out, and every gap is marked for the secretary to settle.
Budget-versus-actual variance commentary
Before the month's results go to management, the finance lead gets written commentary on every line that moved past the threshold: the figures, the budget owner's explanation marked confirmed or to be confirmed, a bridge from budget to actual, and the questions still open. No cause is invented.
Business trip plan
The assistant hands the traveller one plan for one business trip: dates and nights fixed from the brief, travel and hotel options with prices and the day each was checked, a day-by-day timetable around the meetings, the cost against travel policy and the bookings still to make. Nothing is booked or paid.
Candidate outreach drafting
For each person a recruiter or founder has already chosen to approach about an approved role: a first message and two follow-ups, each personal line traced to a public work source the recruiter supplied, do-not-contact names and opt-outs honoured, and a reply log. The recruiter sends every message.
Channel partner fit review
When a referral, reseller or alliance partner approaches, the founder or head of partnerships gets one review: evidence the partner brings customers of its own, the type that evidence supports, a ninety-day plan with signs to go on or stop, and the commission range that still beats selling direct. A person decides.
Client document request tracker
When a client sends its first batch of records, the engagement manager gets the request list brought up to date: each item and period marked received, incomplete, mentioned only or missing, plus a short follow-up draft. The manager judges what is sufficient and approves anything sent.
Client findings validation document
Before research becomes recommendations, the engagement lead sends the client one document: each material finding beside its evidence, the implication proposed and a clear request to confirm, correct or defer it. Nothing is added that the evidence does not show.
Client-status update preparation
Every client gets an accurate status update on schedule, drafted from the notes and the task list, with confirmed dates kept apart from estimates and the client’s open decisions in plain view.
Complaint and refund request handling
A customer complains or asks for money back, and whoever handles it gets your policy's answer: the order matched, each condition checked, the amount worked out, any refund set out for a named person to approve, and a reply ready to edit and send.
Component end-of-life exposure brief
When a supplier announces a component constraint or end-of-life date, the sourcing lead gets one brief: where the part is used, stock and demand set against the stated dates, and questions about replacements, with unverified availability kept apart from approved supply.
Culture health check
A founder or people lead sees whether the company's stated values show up in daily work: each value written as behaviours you could watch for, read against the team's own evidence, with where practice matches, where it drifts, and two or three rituals to try. Reported by team and theme, never about a person.
Customer case study
With a customer who has agreed to help, prepare the interview, then turn their words and the figures they supply into a case study in a short and a long version. Every quotation and number is listed for the customer to approve in writing, and nothing is published or named before they do.
Customer feedback themes
Each month your support lead sees what customers keep telling you: tickets, disputes, reviews and survey comments grouped into themes with counts and quotations, the three issues most worth fixing with a proposed fix and owner, and a note for customers once a fix ships. A person decides every fix.
Customer reply drafting
Every customer gets the reply your best person would write. Hand over the customer's message, your tone guide and your approved answers, and get back a draft in your voice where every statement and every promise traces to something you approved. A person on your team reads it, edits it and sends it.
Deal close plan
Your account executive holds one late-stage deal on two pages: the buyer's case for buying now, counted from the buyer's own figures, and a dated plan of every step to signature with its owner on each side. The seller decides what the buyer sees; nothing reaches the sales system without approval.
