1) Model & System
BUSINESS Leadership = Strategy × (Execution Discipline + Partner Leverage + Licensing)
- Strategy — ICP focus, clear promise, unit economics, defendable edge
- Execution Discipline — weekly shipping, SOPs, AI automation, dashboards
- Partner Leverage — affiliates, resellers, integrators, licensees
- Licensing — codify know-how into scalable, recurring revenue models
Tip: Make one process boringly reliable each month (SOP + AI + metrics).
2) Diagnostic Rubric (score 0–10)
Unit Economics
- 0–2: Unknown LTV, CAC; payback >18m
- 3–4: LTV:CAC <2; payback 13–18m
- 5–6: LTV:CAC 2–3; payback ≤12m (borderline)
- 7–8: LTV:CAC ≥3; payback 6–12m
- 9–10: LTV:CAC ≥4; payback ≤6m; upsell/expansion live
Revenue Resilience
- 0–2: 1 channel; founder-dependent
- 3–4: 2 channels; irregular pipeline
- 5–6: 2–3 channels; basic partner revenue
- 7–8: 3–5 channels; ≥30% partner-sourced
- 9–10: 5+ channels; ≥50% partner-sourced; waitlist
Operational Excellence
- 0–2: No SOPs; manual; no dashboards
- 3–4: Ad-hoc SOPs; partial tracking
- 5–6: Core SOPs; weekly metrics; some AI
- 7–8: SOP coverage >60%; 60–80% automation
- 9–10: 80%+ automation; continuous shipping
Licensing Readiness

- 3–4: Draft assets; pilots pending
- 5–6: First license; pricing/terms set

3) 12-Month Roadmap (2026)
Q1 — Build
- One-page offer + pricing, ICP fit validated
- Ship MVP; first partner deal; first license pilot
- Baseline dashboards; SOP v1 for GTM
Q2 — Run
- 8 active partners; weekly co-marketing
- LTV:CAC ≥3; payback ≤12m
- Automation 40–60%; 2nd SKU ready
Q3 — Scale
- 12 partners; tiered incentives
- 45–50% partner-sourced revenue
- License pack v2; expansion pricing
Q4 — Lead
- 15 partners; waitlist & referrals engine
- ≥50% partner-sourced; multi-SKU
- Continuous ship; SOPs 80%+ automated
4) 90-Day GTM Sprint
Days 1–30
- ICP interviews ×10; offer 1-pager
- Pricing test; MVP live
- Partners short-list; 3 meetings
Days 31–60
- Weekly launches with partners
- Track clicks → leads → deals
- Close first license
Days 61–90
- QBR with top partners
- Tier incentives; add channel
- Target: LTV:CAC ≥3; 8 active partners
5) Operating System (weekly cadence)
- Mon 30m — pipeline review (stages, blockers, next step)
- Wed — ship one partner asset (post, webinar, email)
- Fri — metrics & learnings note to partners
Stages: Identified → Contacted → Qualified → Agreed → Live → Producing → Scaling
6) Metrics That Matter
- LTV:CAC (aim ≥3)
- Payback (≤12 months)
- Partner-sourced revenue % (aim ≥50%)
- Launch velocity (new partner go-lives / month)
- Pipeline coverage (90d) (expected ÷ target ≥3×)
7) Scripts & Templates
Partner opener (email/LinkedIn)
Hi {{Name}} — your audience of {{niche}} struggles with {{pain}}.
We ship a focused solution that achieved {{result}} in {{time}}.
Simple {{rev-share%}} rev-share, full co-marketing kit. 15 min next week?
Post-meeting summary

8) Interactive Tools
Guardrails: LTV:CAC ≥ 3 • Payback ≤ 12 mo • Runway ≥ 6 mo
Fill inputs and compute your health snapshot.
Benchmark: LTV:CAC ≥ 3
Payback ≤ 12 mo
Aim for ≥5/6 before scaling licensing.
9) Risks & Anti-Patterns
- Single “whale” partner >30% revenue
- No written economics / SLA / UTMs
- Quarterly-only comms (relationships decay)
- Over-customizing (kills scale and margins)
- Skipping weekly shipping (momentum loss)
10) Next Steps & CTA
Now: Run the tools (Compass, Unit Econ, ROICE, GTM, Partners, Licensing).
Then: Pick one 30-day booster and set the weekly cadence.

Strategy & Positioning
- ICP — Ideal Customer Profile: the type of company or buyer you serve best (e.g., “mid-market industrials in EU”).
- GTM — Go-to-Market: how you win customers (channels, funnel, coverage).
- CTA — Call to Action: the concrete next step you ask for (e.g., “Book a 30-min fit call”).
- NPS — Net Promoter Score: loyalty metric from −100 to +100 based on “recommend?” survey.
Problem-Solving & Prioritization
- MECE — Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive: structure issues so items don’t overlap and cover the whole problem.
- ICE — Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort: quick way to rank initiatives by payoff versus difficulty.
- RICE — Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort: prioritization adding “how many affected” (Reach).
- H1 / H2 / H3 — Hypotheses 1/2/3: statements you test to explain the outcome gap.
- A/B — A/B Test: run version A vs B to see which performs better, statistically.
Finance & Economics
- ROI — Return on Investment: (benefit − cost) ÷ cost; we also use “12-month ROI”.
- EV — Expected Value: price or fee × win probability (used in proposal economics).
- EBIT — Earnings Before Interest & Taxes: operating profit measure; often a target KPI.
- TCO — Total Cost of Ownership: full cost to build or buy (setup + run + maintenance).
- KPI — Key Performance Indicator: the success metric you’re aiming to move (e.g., “gross margin +3 pts”).
AI, Data & Platforms
- MLOps — Machine-Learning Operations: deploy, monitor, retrain and govern models safely.
- CI/CD — Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery: automated build, test and deploy pipeline.
- PII — Personally Identifiable Information: data that can identify a person; needs special handling.
- RBAC — Role-Based Access Control: users only see data and tools allowed by their role.
- Model Registry — System of record for model versions and approvals.
- Drift — Model/data performance shift over time; requires monitoring and retraining.
- GenAI — Generative AI: systems that create text, images, code, etc., from prompts.
Sales, Pipeline & Delivery
- CRM — Customer Relationship Management: system to track contacts, deals and activities.
- Win Rate — % of qualified opportunities you close (not an acronym, but core metric).
- PMO — Project Management Office: function that governs large projects and portfolios.
Planning & Cadence
- Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4 — Calendar or fiscal quarters (3-month blocks).
- FY — Fiscal Year: your accounting year (e.g., FY2026).
- v1 — Version 1: first working release you ship to users (“prove value fast”).
- Sprint — Fixed timebox (often 1–2 weeks) to build and ship increments.
Commercial Packaging & Offers
- Pilot — Small, time-boxed engagement to prove value and de-risk a larger rollout.
- Tiered Offer — Three options (e.g., Pilot / Core / Flagship) to match scope and price to value.
- Risk Reversal — Mechanism that reduces buyer risk (e.g., milestone-based fees or opt-out gates).
Governance & Compliance
- SLA — Service-Level Agreement: commitments on availability, quality or timeliness.
- Audit Trail — Record of who changed what and when (models, data, access).
- Guardrails — Technical and policy limits that keep AI use safe and compliant.
