Personal toolkit · v0.1
Ten tools for thinking
like a senior associate.
A modular set of strategy instruments — each grounded in a named framework, each producing a specific deliverable. Built for the work that actually moves a business: diagnose where you are, decide where to commit, execute without losing the room.
01
Diagnose
Establish the truth about where the business stands before recommending anything.
02
Decide
Stress-test the strategy, sharpen the bets, kill what doesn't earn its place.
03
Execute
Build the system that translates strategy into action — and the room into a yes.
The frameworks under the hood.
Every module is grounded in a named consulting framework. No generic "think strategically" prompts. Each tool names the framework it uses, the steps it follows, the hypotheses it pressure-tests before sharing, and the failure modes it watches for.
