• BUSINESS

  Why related work belongs in one conversation

  A company that needs technology, a building, and a transaction is still one company.

• ACQUISITIONS

  How to describe a business you want to buy

  Industry, place, size, and what you will not buy are the brief.

• VALUATION

  What a preliminary valuation range is

  A range from the figures you provide is a starting point, not an appraisal.

• REAL ESTATE

  Name the property decision before you tour

  Buy, sell, lease, or invest. Then type, place, and timeframe.

• TECHNOLOGY

  What to bring to a technology conversation

  People, the current setup, the failure, and how soon it matters.

• AI

  Where automation belongs, and where a person should stay

  Start from a repeated task with a clear input, not from the tool.

• MARKETING

  Brief a marketing effort around the next action

  Who should respond, and what they should do next.

• OPERATIONS

  Name the operating problem before you hire for it

  Cost, delay, rework, and a step that depends on one person are different problems.

• FINANCE

  Separate the need from the product

  Working capital, equipment, a building, and an acquisition are different uses of money.

• INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

  Read an industry without borrowing someone else's numbers

  Customers, substitutes, and the cost that moves with volume.

• ENTREPRENEURSHIP

  What the operator still owns after the advisors leave

  Advice can clarify a choice. The operator still owns the customer, the cash, and the decision.
