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.

Bid or no-bid and RFP response plan
Before anyone starts on a response, your bid manager sees every requirement in the request checked against your own evidence, your bid criteria tested and the buyer questions ready. A named person decides whether to bid; then a dated plan says who does what by when.

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.

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.

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.

Event plan
Whoever owns one event, a talk, a dinner, a webinar or a stand, gets one plan: the goal and target, who should be in the room, every step before, on and after the day with a date and an owner, and how each conversation is followed up. Nothing is booked, paid or sent by the assistant.

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.

Funder report draft
Before a funder report is due, the grants manager gets a draft written to the funder's own questions, with every number tied to a record, an index of the evidence behind each statement and a list of what is still unanswered. People verify it, approve it and submit it.

Goal alignment review
Before next period's goals are set, the chief executive sees every team goal mapped to the company priority it serves: goals with no company parent, goals that pull against each other, priorities nobody owns, and the questions for each owner. It judges goals, never people.

Internal change announcement
One decided change, announced well: managers briefed first, a message for each group in the right order, talking points, and the questions people will ask, answered only from the decision or marked open. Every message is a draft that a person approves and sends.

Operations KPI scorecard
Once a month the operations manager gets one red-amber-green page for the ten or fewer measures that run the operation: each value worked out from your own exports, its trend, what moved and why in the owner's words, and the action agreed for every red. You set the measures and decide the actions.

Premortem before a decision
Before your team commits to a plan that is hard to undo, such as a move, a launch or a new system, a short workshop pictures it a few months on, already failed. The record ranks the reasons, turns each top risk into a check, a warning sign and an owner, and leaves the go decision with the owner.

Presentation outline and talk track
Anyone presenting to a board, a client or a conference gets a storyboard built on one message, then a spoken script for every slide, timed to the slot and true to their own speaker notes. Every fact comes from what the presenter supplied, and the presenter approves the message and the words.

Program outcome map
Before an evaluation, the program and evaluation leads get one map linking each activity to the outcome it is meant to serve, with proposed measures, data sources, assumptions and the questions the evidence cannot yet answer. It claims no impact.

Research summary brief
An executive handed a pile of reports, articles or papers gets one brief: what each source found, where the sources agree and disagree, the limits of each, and exact quotations cited to the page. Built only from the documents supplied. What it means for the business stays the reader's call.

Sales pipeline review
Each week your sales lead sees the whole open pipeline on one page: value and age by stage, what moved since last week, the deals at risk and coverage against your target. Every figure traces to your export, and the forecast number is left for a person to commit.

Workflow fit check: is this piece of work ready for AI?
Before you build anything, run one piece of work through six checks and get a straight answer on one short page: build it, build one part, do something simpler first, not yet, or leave it with your people. The owner decides what gets built first, with the reasons in front of them.
