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.
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.
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 billing summary
Before an invoice goes out, the billing coordinator has a summary the client can read: fees by timekeeper, task and phase, expenses and write-downs, tied to the pre-bill. Every entry that breaks the client's billing guidelines reaches the responsible attorney as a decision, with the amount at stake.
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.
Court-order deadline notice preparation
When a court order arrives, the legal assistant has a draft notice ready for the attorney: every directive in the court’s own words, every date copied from the order or proposed under the firm’s own written rule file, and a list for the attorney to confirm. Nothing is calendared or sent until the attorney confirms.
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.
Inquiry handoff
Every new inquiry reaches the firm’s conflict review and the responsible attorney as one complete packet on the day it arrives, with each missing item named and someone assigned to supply it.
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.
Kit component availability check
The stock or online-store lead gets every kit beside the quantity actually sellable, the component that limits it, the stock records that disagree and the listings that promise more than can be built. Nothing is changed until a person decides.
Matter budget and status summary
The responsible partner sees one matter whole: scope, phases against their dates, the budget against fees to date and the projected total, a red, amber or green status with the rule behind it, risks and next actions with owners. Built from the time export and the matter plan, never a view on the merits.
Matter closing checklist preparation
When the handling lawyer flags a matter for closure, the firm's closing checklist is filled from the matter record: final billing as recorded, open tasks, unreturned items and the handoffs billing and records must accept.
Matter-opening checklist preparation
Every accepted matter goes into setup and billing with one checklist: the fields each system needs, the terms that drive the first invoice, the documents on file and an owner for every open item.
Month-end close checklist
Before the month ends, your controller holds the whole close on one page: every task with its owner, its date and what it waits on, the chain that sets the close date, and each gap already written as a question. Entries are prepared for approval, never posted.
Outgoing work sign-off log
Every item that needs a responsible attorney's sign-off before it leaves the firm sits in one log, in the order it has to go out: waiting, approved or returned, with the attorney's own note. Anything close to its date with no decision is flagged first. The log tracks status and never touches the legal substance.
Overdue-invoice follow-up preparation
Every overdue invoice gets a follow-up drafted in your firm’s tone for its age and addressed from the right person, and every invoice that should not be chased is held with the reason written down.
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.
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.
Product recall customer contact plan
Once your business has issued a recall, the customer care lead gets the contact plan: affected customers from the order export, the approved notice word for word, drafts that offer only the remedies you run, and a tracker that counts a customer done only when the item is back or repaired.
Quality management review pack
Before the periodic quality review, the quality lead gets one brief for senior leaders: where each measure stands, complaints and defects, audit findings, action status, and the decisions still open. The leaders decide; the brief claims no compliance with any standard.
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.
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.
Release notes draft
The product owner gets draft release notes for one shipped release, in words users recognize: what is new, changed, removed and fixed, the steps users must take, and the known limitations. Only what was supplied is described. The owner checks and publishes.
Roadmap tradeoff review
When a new priority arrives, the product owner sees what the roadmap would have to give up to hold it: the capacity gap by team, the work that could move, the commitments and dependencies that move with it, and the questions still open. The owner decides.
