Method
How a decision gets made
-
Signal
The standard for each type of work is calculated from its own history. Hours or revision rounds above it are a signal. The same check flags a format that lost its response and a touchpoint where a metric dropped.
-
Evidence
The signal pulls up the evidence: core jobs, job steps and desired outcomes, audience groups and what competitors hold in the category. Together they show exactly where the drop is.
-
Goal and hypothesis
The signal becomes a measurable goal on a specific node, split into key results. Inside the goal sit the research, the hypotheses and the concepts that grew out of them.
-
Production
The concept turns into tasks: owner, deadline, a red flag when overdue, planned and actual hours. The standard for the next signal comes from here too.
-
Release
The asset goes live and lands in the release log: channel, date, version. Each release links to its asset and goal, and the metrics attach to it.
-
Response and standard
Stats arrive in the facts database with source and period and roll up into key results. What holds up becomes the standard in the task template.
