Weekly updates from your managers
Know how every part of the business is going without chasing anyone. Managers answer three questions on Friday, and you read one page on Monday.

How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Three questions every Friday
What got done, what's stuck and what they need from you, sent by text or Teams at the time you pick.
- 02
Answered however suits them
A few typed lines or a one-minute voice note from the van. Both are turned into tidy notes.
- 03
Late replies chased
Anyone who hasn't answered gets a friendly nudge on Monday morning, so you don't have to send it.
- 04
Checked against your goals
If you've set goals for the quarter, each update is lined up against them, and anything off track is marked with the reason given.
- 05
One page for you
Every manager's update on a single page, with anything waiting on you at the top.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
Updates stay in your managers' own words, tidied but never changed in meaning. What you do about a goal that's slipping is your decision.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
2 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 92 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$4,600
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
You want to know how the install crew, the office and the new branch are tracking. So you ring round, or ask for a weekly email that arrives from two managers out of four. The goals you set in January come up again in June, when it's too late to do much about them.

A month in
A full picture lands every Monday without ringing round, problems get raised in the week they start, and the quarter's goals get looked at weekly instead of twice a year.
FAQ
Won't my managers hate a weekly update form?
Most don't, because it's three questions answered in a minute, often by voice note. Most managers prefer it to the phone call that used to come at random times.
Can each manager get different questions?
Yes. The office manager might get asked about overdue invoices, the lead tech about callbacks. You agree each manager's questions once and change them whenever you like.
