Sets price, structures packages and tiers, and designs the monetization surfaces that carry them — upgrade paths, paywalls, and offer construction.

Writes down what is being built so a team can build it and know when they are done — problem and success measure before solution, scope stated by exclusion, user-visible behavior including the states everyone forgets, acceptance criteria someone can test, and the open questions named rather than bur…

Runs the production schedule — sequencing and releasing work, managing work in process and changeovers, and holding the promised date when the floor and the order book disagree.

Plans and drives cross-functional programs to delivery — scope, sequencing, dependencies, status, risk, and the escalations that keep work moving.

Plans and delivers a single project — scope, estimation, scheduling, critical path, tracking, and recovering when it slips. Use this to plan a project, build or challenge a schedule, estimate credibly, track progress meaningfully, or recover a project that is late.

Builds quality into operations — defining standards, catching defects at the right point, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.

Answers a business question with data without fooling yourself — framing the question so an answer would change something, choosing the right comparison, checking the data before trusting it, recognizing the traps that produce confident wrong answers (aggregation reversals, survivorship, regression…

Designs and improves referral, affiliate, and word-of-mouth programs — incentive structure, mechanics, timing, and fraud control.

Evaluates a software or startup idea against problem, market, competition, monetization, defensibility, and execution, and returns a verdict rather than encouragement.

Plans under genuine uncertainty — building scenarios, identifying which assumptions are load-bearing, setting early-warning indicators, and stress-testing a plan against futures rather than forecasting one.

Builds and interrogates a project schedule — logic-driven sequencing, dependency types and lags, float and the critical path, resource loading and leveling, schedule risk analysis, and measuring progress against a baseline rather than against optimism.

Runs the IT service desk — intake, triage, prioritization, escalation, knowledge, and the metrics that improve service rather than distort it.

Defines and manages service levels — setting targets that reflect what customers need, measuring honestly, and handling breaches.

Writes, structures, and evaluates social posts end to end — hooks, body, formatting for how each platform renders, and a quality check before publishing.

Explores the problem and the range of possible approaches before any code is written — clarifying what is actually being asked, surfacing options with their tradeoffs, and converging on one.

Finds the root cause of a bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior before proposing any fix. Use this whenever something is broken and the cause is not yet proven — a failing test, a production error, intermittent behavior, or a symptom that appeared after a change.

Makes technical debt visible and decidable — distinguishing real debt from mess, quantifying its cost, and arguing for remediation in business terms.

Manages cash and liquidity — cash forecasting, runway, working capital, banking structure, and currency and counterparty exposure.

Plans and scripts short-form and long-form video, and designs the packaging — titles, thumbnails, and openings — that determines whether it gets watched.

Designs and directs the visual assets that carry content — carousels, infographics, quote graphics, diagrams, and social imagery — including the generation prompts where they are AI-produced.

Plans, packages, and scripts long-form video for retention and channel growth — idea selection, titles and thumbnails, script structure, and diagnosing why a video or channel underperforms.
