Five numbers, one chart. Lands Monday morning before standup.
04. Legal triage queue
Incoming requests routed. Standard NDAs auto-handled. Founder sees only the real questions.
03What this team actually does
Not a chatbot. A working team.
Runs the operating cadence.
Monthly close, quarterly review, annual planning, all on schedule. Strategic intent translated into mission scopes the rest of the org can run.
Keeps the model honest.
Cash, runway, and revenue forecast and updated. Unit economics tracked by segment so you know which customers actually pay off.
Holds vendors to their terms.
Every contract read and scored, renewals surfaced before they auto-charge, the worst terms renegotiated.
Writes the report you actually read.
Weekly operating report, monthly board pack, ad-hoc analysis. Five numbers and a chart, not forty slides nobody opens.
04Sample missions you could give BizOps
You write the sentence. The team scopes it, runs it, and brings back the result. Here is what that sounds like.
You say
“Give me five numbers every Monday that tell me how the business is doing.”
You get
A weekly digest with the five metrics that matter, one chart, and a one-line read on what changed. It lands before standup.
You say
“Read every vendor contract and tell me where we are overpaying.”
You get
Each contract read, renewal terms and auto-renew traps surfaced, the three worth renegotiating flagged with the savings estimated.
You say
“Our close takes too long. Get us to a day-5 close.”
You get
The monthly close run on a checklist, reconciliations owned, reclassifications caught early. Books closed by day five, every month.
You say
“Stop sending me standard NDAs. Only bring me the real legal questions.”
You get
Incoming requests triaged, standard agreements handled against an approved template, and only the genuine judgment calls routed to you.
