Analysis plan
Before anyone opens the spreadsheet, the owner or manager gets a one-page plan: the question restated, the hypotheses, the fields and periods needed, and the result that would change the decision. It runs no analysis and states no finding. You own the question and the criteria.

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.

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.

Business continuity plan
For an owner or operations manager: the activities the business cannot stop for long, how long each can be down and how much data it can lose, what each depends on, the fallback for each, and named owners, deputies, contacts and a test date, ready for a competent reviewer and the owner's approval.

Business insurance renewal review
Before the business insurance renews, the owner gets one pack: every policy with insurer, limits, deductibles, premium and dates; renewal terms beside expiring ones, every change marked; what changed in the business; claims; and questions for the broker. The broker and the owner decide all cover.

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.

Decision log
Your chief of staff keeps one register of what the leadership actually approved, across every meeting and message: each decision with who approved it, each action with one owner and a date, what is overdue, and a flag wherever a new decision clashes with an earlier one or revives a rejected idea.

Delegation brief and follow-up
Every task a manager hands over goes with a clear brief: what to deliver, in what form, by what date and time, why it matters, who will use it, what the person may decide alone and when the manager will check in. Each week, one list shows what is open, what is late and the next note to send.

Discount request review
Before a price below list goes to a customer, whoever approves it gets one page: the discount and what it costs in margin, every clause of your own written policy met or missed, who approves and in what order, and what the customer gives in return. A person decides; nothing is sent.
