What you get

01
Where the company stands, with proof
The book's nine dimensions, each with a state and evidence. The weakest link shows up in the first week.
02
The first case worth doing
Chosen by criteria, with an owner and today's number — to prove the gain later.
03
Decisions that don't get lost
Each decision with the number behind it and a date to check. It comes back to the agenda on its own.

1
Answer the seven questions
30 minutes. They show where the company keeps what it knows — or whether it's in someone's head.
2
Move in stages
Each stage has a quick win and delivers something you can show the board.
3
Bring your team
You decide; you ask the team for the technical part, with an owner and a deadline. Everything is logged.

Stage 1
Where we stand
An honest picture, with proof, of the nine dimensions — and the weakest link.
Stage 2
Where to start
The first case chosen by criteria, with today's number.
Stage 3
What we decided
Signed decisions that come back to the agenda on the date to check.
Stage 4
Organize what the company knows
A signed glossary, official sources, signals with an owner and policies with a review date.
Stage 5
Design how the company acts
The outcome tree, each agent's specification and the limits of each action.
Stage 6
Prove it on the first case
Doors 1 and 2: a baseline, an answer key with a threshold fixed beforehand, and 90 days with an end date.
Stage 7
Go live safely
Doors 3 and 4: contained production, a rehearsed stop button and autonomy case by case, with an expiry date.
Stage 8
Learn and change
Meetings that decide, incidents that close with the four items and versioned changes.
Stage 9
Leadership decisions
An honest cost per result, contracts that let you leave and a named role for each agent.
Stage 10
The second round
Before and now side by side, the five conversations and the next round's question.

Every sheet explains in one sentence what it's for, which chapter it comes from, and gives an example. You learn by doing.

No AI assistant here, on purpose: this phase is human. You decide the company's architecture.
