Inputs from the founder
90 minutes prework (intake + documents)
45 minutes async Q&A (voice notes okay)
2 x 90-minute live sessions
60 minutes review time across the sprint
Optional: include 1 key operator for one session (often helpful)
What you do (your delivery)
1) Decision triage
Identify the true decisions vs noise
Map dependencies (what must be decided first)
Define the decision criteria for the business (cash, risk, speed, brand, sustainability)
2) Option design for top decisions
For the top 3 decisions: build options + trade-offs properly
For the next set: create a lighter framework so they can resolve faster without spiralling
3) Sequence and execution plan
A decision sequence for the next 30 days
What stops, what gets delegated, what gets measured
“Anti-loop” mechanisms: triggers, thresholds, rules of thumb
4) Install an operating rhythm
A weekly decision cadence (short, practical)
A repeatable template so the team stops escalating everything to the founder
Outputs (what they receive)
Decision Map (everything on the table, de-tangled)

30-Day Execution Plan (sequenced, resourced, realistic)
Decision Cadence Kit (agenda + scorecard + rules so this doesn’t reoccur)
Two weeks of async support (voice note / email) for quick clarifiers while they implement
