Execution timeline
The next 30 days, in order.
A source-backed operating clock for launch, outreach, close, delivery, and proof. Check off the local view as work is actually verified.
30-day blueprint · source-backed
Move from activation to a repeatable operating rhythm.
The first three days come from the handoff’s 72-hour execution plan. Days 4–30 use the documented agent cadence and the six-touch outreach sequence. A signed client can enter the separate 9–14 day Catalyst delivery clock without changing the sales clock.
Local completion
0 / 30Guardrail: this is an operating plan, not a claim that the work is complete. Founder gates, client approvals, payments, permissions, and external sends stay human-reviewed.
Client delivery substack
From signed scope to clean handoff.
A conditional fulfillment lane for a real client project. Activate it only after the contract is signed and the 50% deposit is verified; every external, payment, credential, and publication gate stays human-reviewed.
Catalyst · project clock
Six phases, one accountable delivery spine.
Use the stack to track Discovery, Design, Build, Revisions, Launch, and Handoff without confusing a proposed workflow for an active client project.
Trigger: signed contract + 50% depositLocal phase completion
Delivery substack
Source-backed windows and gates from SOP-004 and Catalyst R1
Scope rule: client delays, missing content, scope creep, extra revisions, final payment, launch approval, and public proof permissions pause the relevant phase until the owner or client decision is recorded.
Keystone + Sage · Friday review
Close the week with evidence.
A founder-scannable weekly review based on the handoff tracker: revenue, pipeline movement, delivery, proof, agent performance, founder time, risks, and the next priority set.
Ten review categories
Check a category only when its evidence is present in the report.
Agent performance baseline
Inherited Round 1 scores, not live performance for this local report window
| Agent | Lane | Baseline signal | Review note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vox | Outreach | 235 pts · 55 touchpoints | Strongest volume signal; verify sends before treating as current. |
| Sage | Closing | 210 pts · 4 hot prospects | Protect the founder close window. |
| Atlas | Offer + proposals | 54 pts · 3 proposals | Founder review required for price and claims. |
| Keystone | Documentation + ops | 20 pts · reporting spine | Reconcile dated snapshots before live use. |
Supporting agent system
Eight roles. One operating rhythm.
The handoff’s swarm is now legible: each agent has a lane, a score, a state, and a clear handoff into the next decision.
How work moves
From signal to proof, with founder approval where it matters
Proof and delivery library
Everything ready to show.
The handoff contains a strong proof base: 10 personalized proposals, 10 self-contained demos, and a full agency site ready for the next controlled move.
Prospect kits
Each kit pairs a proposal with a demo
Delivery foundation
Supporting material already in the handoff
Operating policy
Keep the system trustworthy.
The dashboard makes the source rules visible so an agent can advance work without silently crossing a business or ethical boundary.
Policy board
These rules apply before any downstream action
No money without permission
Do not purchase domains, upgrade hosting, subscribe to software, run ads, pay filing fees, or incur any business expense without Matt’s approval.
Morning summary first
Start every day with the personal assistant morning summary. It is the first operating task, not an afterthought.
Evidence over claims
Do not invent business data, reviews, testimonials, client status, or performance results. Flag human review when proof is missing.
Respect the founder window
Escalate only the moves that justify Matt’s limited 2-hour close window. Keep calls, approvals, and unusual terms concrete.
Keep outreach human
Personalize messages, honor do-not-contact requests, avoid duplicate outreach, and flag legal or sensitive situations.
Never launch placeholders
Client-facing work needs real content, tested forms, mobile checks, and a completed handoff checklist before launch.
Handoff provenance
Know what this view is built from.
Every number and lane here is a compact reading of the local Crestlake Studio handoff—not a live CRM, inbox, payment system, or deployment control plane.
