Two ground rules.   1. No skips on Week 1 — Speed-to-Lead + Variations + Friday Update change client perception in days, not weeks.   2. Sprint Board owns the rest — after Week 6, remaining 23 skills cycle in as 2-week sprint picks from the backlog.
The Flywheel
Owner → Team → Clients → Business → Owner. The shortcut Owner → Projects is the trap.

  • Briefings, recaps, dashboards (internal one-pagers)
  • Human enters into Jack / Xero where the data belongs
  • No parallel CSV registers · no duplicate sources of truth
