The weekly founder review: what to continue, change or stop
Turn your weekly review into decisions: continue, change or stop. A worked fictional review and reusable evidence-to-action template.
Measure the outcome, not the activity
Use an outcome, baseline and guardrail to assess AI workflows. A fictional handover scorecard and reusable measurement worksheet.
Delegating to AI means deciding what it may decide
Define what AI may do, what needs approval and when work must stop. A practical delegation table and testing checklist for founders.
Your business needs shared context—not another chat thread
Connect decisions, owners, constraints and evidence. Use a practical shared-context checklist and a fictional client-launch example.
Give AI a review loop, not just a task
Build a plan, act, inspect and adjust loop. Two fictional handover tests show how evidence should change the next action, with clear stopping rules.
Run the premortem before you run the agent
Test an AI plan before scaling it. Identify three plausible failure causes, choose a cheap test and use a practical premortem worksheet.
Before you ask AI to act, define what done means
Give AI a clear goal brief: outcome, constraints, evidence and a review owner. A worked onboarding example and reusable template for founders.
AI makes you faster. Is your plan worth executing?
Before you automate, define the outcome, challenge the assumption and decide what evidence would make you change course.
