Artifact Library.

The work is only useful if something ships.

Strategy decks gather dust. Artifacts get used. Every engagement here resolves into something concrete — an ICP map, a RACI, an output policy, an incrementality model — that a named role picks up and uses to make one specific decision. This is the catalogue of artifact types the work produces, mapped to the decision each one unblocks.

ARTIFACT LIBRARY The problem — a live, specific stall: founder-led GTM has hit its ceiling, a region was added without a motion, or measurement can't prove value. PROBLEM A live stall specific, urgent not a strategy gap The artifact — a concrete, shippable thing: an ICP map, a RACI, an output policy, an incrementality model. The work is only useful if something ships. WHAT SHIPS The artifact ICP map · narrative · sequence RACI · capacity · cadence output policy · proof taxonomy The decision — the artifact unblocks one specific decision: which segment to focus, who owns what, what can leave the environment, whether spend is incremental. DECISION Unblocked one decision, made and owned then: cadence ↻ OPERATING CADENCE · 0–3–6–12 Problem → artifact → decision → cadence. The work is only useful if something ships.

    Agentic Measurement Guardrail

    The decision-threshold spec for an agentic system: which evidence lets an agent recommend, which requires human approval, and which blocks action — so budget never moves on a weak proxy at machine speed.

    Causal Proof Matrix

    A side-by-side of measurement methods — attribution, incrementality tests, MMM, brand lift, attention, and BI / finance reconciliation — with what each is best for and where each misleads, so agents do not optimize correlation at machine speed.

    Cross-Platform Measurement Map

    A map of how exposure, identity, deduplication, outcome, and currency are defined across linear, streaming, CTV, digital, and retail media — so a cross-platform plan compares like with like instead of stacking incompatible definitions.

    Used by
    • Measurement
    • Media planning
    • Analytics
    Unblocks
    Whether outcomes can be compared across platforms before a cross-platform plan is set.

    Media Quality Guardrail Map

    The verification guardrails on a media workflow — MRC viewability definitions, GIVT / SIVT filtration, OM SDK measurement coverage, and certification expectations — made explicit before spend or agent optimization runs against them.

Signal containerization artifacts

The companion set to the signal-containerization essay — the artifacts that turn a raw signal into an executable, governed object an agent can discover, activate, and evaluate. Each is described as a structure, not a template, and links back to the essay that frames it.

How it works

How artifacts map to services

Artifacts are not a menu you order from. They are the natural output of an engagement — the diagnostic produces a read, an audit produces a plan, a sprint produces pipeline, a retainer produces the operating system. Each shape tends to ship the categories below.

  • Readiness Scorecard

    Self-serve diagnostic — scores the six paths and routes to the right next step.

    • A readiness read
    • A recommended path
  • Market Entry Audit

    2–3 week diagnostic across five lenses into a 90-day plan.

    • Market Entry Audit
    • ICP Map
    • Buyer Narrative
    • Board-Ready One-Pager
  • GTM & BD Sprint

    6–8 week execution sprint — pipeline, partner co-sell, pricing tests.

    • Named Account Sequence
    • First 25 Target Accounts
    • Sales Narrative
    • Objection Pack
  • Advisory Retainer

    3, 6, or 12 months of senior operator partnership on a weekly cadence.

    • RACI
    • Decision Rights Matrix
    • Capacity Model
    • 0-3-6-12 Cadence
    • Revenue Operating System
Make something ship

If you can name the decision that is stalling, you can name the artifact that unblocks it. Scope the set that fits your problem — or start with the scorecard if you're not sure which one.
