Title: 30-Day Strategic ROICE Sprint – Standard Operating Blueprint
Version: V1.0 (2026)
Author: RapidKnowHow
Use Case: All future sector programs, licensing packs, and value-capture design.
1. PURPOSE OF THE STANDARD
This Standard defines how RapidKnowHow designs, delivers, and scales 30-Day Strategic Sprints that produce:
- Quantified performance baselines,
- Scenario simulations,
- Business cases (EBITDA + Cash),
- 12-month execution roadmaps,
- Board-ready decision briefs.
The Standard applies across all verticals, not only Industrial Gases.
2. CORE OUTCOME OF ANY RAPIDKNOWHOW SPRINT
Every Sprint MUST deliver 5 outputs:
- Baseline Scan Report (Where we stand now)
- Scenario Simulations (Digital / AI-driven if applicable)
- Business Case Model (EBITDA + Cash + Investment)
- 12-Month Execution Roadmap (KPIs + Owners + Gates)
- Executive Decision Brief (Board-ready narrative)
If these 5 are not delivered → Sprint is not complete.
3. STANDARD SPRINT STRUCTURE (30 DAYS)
The Sprint is always structured into 4 Modules:
Module 1 — Baseline & Diagnosis (Week 1)
Purpose: Establish factual reality.
Outputs:
- Baseline metrics
- Segmentation/footprint snapshot
- Initial risk inventory
Module 2 — Scenario Design (Week 2)
Purpose: Simulate future potential.
Outputs:
- Scenario models (3–5)
- Digital/AI simulations (if available)
- Sensitivity analysis
Module 3 — Business Case (Week 3)
Purpose: Convert scenarios into money.
Outputs:
- EBITDA uplift
- Cash conversion
- Payback & investment gates
- Implementation sensitivity
Module 4 — Roadmap & Decision (Week 4)
Purpose: Convert business case into action.
Outputs:
- 12-month roadmap
- KPI structure
- Responsible owners
- Risk & countermeasures
- Executive Decision Brief
4. MANDATORY COMPONENTS
Every sector Sprint MUST include the following components:
✔ Diagnosis tool (Baseline capture)
✔ Simulation tool or model (Scenario design)
✔ Financial model (Business case)
✔ Roadmap template (Strategic execution)
✔ Decision Brief template (Board-facing)
Optional but recommended:
◻ Digital dashboards
◻ HTML simulators
◻ ESG or regulatory layer
◻ Licensing add-ons
◻ M&A or partnership maps
5. DELIVERY FORMAT STANDARD
All Sprints follow the same delivery infrastructure:
Duration: 30 days
Touchpoints:
- 4 Workshops (90–120 min each)
- 1–2 Executive/Board Clinics (30–60 min)
Channels:
- Remote-first (Zoom/Teams)
- Slack/Teams async support
Artifacts:
- Provided via shared folder + PDF + PPT + XLS/HTML
6. PARTICIPANT STANDARD
Each Sprint must have:
✔ Executive Sponsor (C-level or VP)
✔ Data Access Owner (Pricing/Operations/Finance/ESG depending sector)
✔ Strategy/PM Owner (to hold the roadmap)
Optional but useful roles depending sector:
- Digital / Data / IT
- Product / Segment
- Customer Success / Sales
- Compliance / Regulatory
- Sustainability / ESG
7. DECISION-READY VALUE DELIVERABLES
RapidKnowHow does not deliver slideware or academic analysis.
We deliver decision-ready outputs:
- Truth → Possibility → Money → Actions → Decisions
This sequence is mandatory:
- Truth = baseline
- Possibility = scenarios
- Money = business case
- Actions = roadmap
- Decisions = board brief
If any step is missing = the Sprint fails the Standard.
8. SECTOR ADAPTATION FRAMEWORK
To apply the Standard to any sector, RapidKnowHow uses a 4-variable mapping table:
| Variable | Description | Sector Example |
|---|---|---|
| X = Value Metric | What “winning performance” means | ROCE in Industrial Gas, EBITDA in Logistics, Cx in Health |
| Y = Mechanism | How value is created | Pricing, Mix, AI, OPEX, ESG |
| Z = Constraints | Regulatory/Operational limits | ESG, FDA, CO2, Capex |
| T = Time Horizon | How soon impact lands | 90 days / 12 months / 24 months |
This ensures transferability while keeping the Sprint credible in each domain.
9. LICENSE & VALUE CAPTURE MODEL
Every Sprint MUST align with the 3-tier RapidKnowHow value capture ladder:
LEARN → LEAD → LICENSE
Where:
- LEARN = Free/Low-ticket content that attracts
- LEAD = 30-Day Sprint (paid)
- LICENSE = Annual system adoption (recurring)
Licenses include:
- Tools, updates, dashboards, playbooks, support
- Geography & segment options
- Tiered user access
10. GUARANTEE STANDARD
To de-risk clients and accelerate adoption, RapidKnowHow applies the standard guarantee:
Final 30% of fee is only invoiced if all deliverables are met.
This applies across all Sprint sectors.
11. SCALING & MULTIPLICATION PATH
After Sprint completion, RapidKnowHow presents 3 scaling routes:
- Deploy (client runs roadmap with license)
- Co-Execute (RapidKnowHow supports execution)
- M&A / Partnership (sector-specific, optional)
This creates:
- Recurring revenue
- Deal flow
- Licensing traction
- Deep account relationships
12. SUPPORTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
This Standard sits on core RapidKnowHow IP:
- ROICE Model
- Decision Governance
- Indirect Strategy Doctrine
- Rapid Simulation Engines
- Rapid Financial Modeling
- Playbooks + Dashboards + Templates
Any sector implementation must reference these frameworks where relevant.
CERTIFICATION OF STANDARD
This document certifies that the 30-Day Strategic ROICE Sprint is now the official RapidKnowHow Standard for:
✔ B2B sector programs
✔ Licensing system design
✔ Value capture models
✔ Productization & scaling
✔ Platform strategy (2026+)
