Playbooks
Founder-grade frameworks, not blank chat.
Each playbook ends with concrete actions. Complete one when you need a decision, a weekly plan, or a push past stall.

Beachhead customer
Stop selling to everyone. Pick the first customer who feels the pain hardest.
When: When your ICP is still “solo founders” and messaging feels mushy.
Outcome: A sharp beachhead description and where to find the first 20 of them.

GTM this week
Turn vague “I should market more” into a one-week go-to-market sprint.
When: When shipping is fine but nobody knows you exist.
Outcome: A channel bet, message, and daily outreach cadence.
Strategy · 18 min
Hard decision
Structure a high-stakes call with options, risks, and a clear recommendation.
When: When you are stuck looping on a choice alone.
Outcome: A written decision with rationale, risks, and a revisit date.
Ops · 10 min
Momentum check
Honest scoreboard: what moved, what stalled, and what restores energy.
When: End of week, or when motivation dips without a clear reason.
Outcome: A momentum score, root cause, and a reset ritual for next week.
Finance · 16 min
Pricing gut check
Pressure-test willingness to pay before you overbuild free value.
When: Before locking a free tier, or when people say “cool” but do not pay.
Outcome: A provisional price, packaging story, and 5 conversations to run.
Execution · 12 min
Weekly priorities
Cut noise and lock three moves that actually move the business this week.
When: Monday reset, or any time the week feels scattered.
Outcome: A ranked weekly plan with owners (you), deadlines, and a kill list.
