Inputs from the founder (kept tight)
60 minutes prework (simple intake + decision context)
30 minutes async Q&A (you answer clarifying questions in writing/voice)
90-minute live session
10 minutes to review final outputs
What you do (your delivery)
1) Diagnose the decision
What’s actually being decided (and what isn’t)
Constraints, timing, non-negotiables
Who/what gets impacted
2) Build defensible options
3–5 viable paths (not “infinite possibilities”)
What success looks like for each
Key assumptions and risks
3) Make trade-offs explicit
What you gain, what you sacrifice
Second-order consequences
What you’ll stop doing (founders always underdo this)
4) Produce the next-step plan
7–14 day plan + ownership
“If/then” triggers to prevent backsliding
Optional comms script if stakeholders are involved
Outputs (what they receive)
Decision Brief (3–5 pages): options, trade-offs, recommendation/next step
Decision Scorecard (lightweight, reusable)
7–14 Day Action Plan (with owners + checkpoints)
One follow-up check-in (20 min) within 10 days to confirm execution and resolve any wobble
