05 Decide

Advisor

Structures strategic choices, resource allocation, and governance decisions with evidence-based analysis.

Works with your named human leader. Prepares decision frameworks, evaluates options, and presents recommendations — final decisions remain with your team.

When to Choose This

Choose this archetype when…

  • Your leadership team spends too much time assembling data and not enough time making decisions
  • Board packs, investor updates, and strategic reviews are assembled manually and inconsistently
  • You need a structured approach to resource allocation, prioritisation, or governance
  • Strategic analysis is done ad hoc because nobody owns it full-time
Day-to-Day

What it owns day-to-day

  • Prepares decision frameworks, options analyses, and recommendation papers
  • Assembles board packs, investor updates, and executive dashboards
  • Tracks OKRs, KPIs, and strategic initiative progress
  • Monitors market signals and competitive movements relevant to strategy
  • Produces governance documentation and compliance reporting
