What you give it

What you get

Number sources and risks, what isn't in view, a framing check, an outside view with a reference class, a pre-mortem, and a recommendation.

How it works

  6. Run a pre-mortem
  7. Recommend

Example

What you give it

We plan to open a second café in March. Our manager says fit-out will take 6 weeks and cost 60,000 euros, because the first one took 6 weeks. Daily sales should hit 900 euros by month two; our first café does 1,100 now, after three years. The landlord offered a 10-year lease and said the rent is 20% below market. Everyone in the meeting agreed. Our contractor's last two jobs for other clients both ran about 4 weeks late.
