How it was built

  1. 1

    The decision

    The leadership team checks every Monday whether the plan still holds.

  2. 2

    The metrics

    Revenue vs plan, roles filled, cash runway, and key results on track.

  3. 3

    The cleaning

    Two test invoices, a role on hold, and a one-off tax refund were left out and listed.

  4. 4

    The receipts

    Every number names the owner's sheet and the date the data runs through.
