Where we built

Hack

When a vital number moves the wrong direction, change it this week. Not next plan.

Hack answers one question: when a vital number moves the wrong direction, what do we change THIS WEEK to move it back?

What gets hacked transforms

Hack is not "creative cost-cutting." Hack is the discipline of finding the ONE lever you can pull this week — not next quarter — that moves the number that matters. Then measuring whether it worked next Monday.

Anti-patterns

  • Hack as crisis management.
  • Hack as "let's try this thing" without measuring whether it worked.
  • Hack as "we'll address that in the next strategic plan."
