A day on retainer

A day is eight hours of work, not eight hours of meetings. This is what one looks like.

10:00

Read

Bank, billing and spend since the last session. Questions are written before anyone is asked.

11:30

Decide

A call with the founder. Three decisions, each with the number behind it.

14:00

Build

The model, the forecast or the board pack. Work that needs quiet.

17:00

Hand over

A page of notes: what was decided, what changes, what happens next.

Days are agreed a month ahead and can move with 48 hours' notice.
