Scale · Chapter 5 · AI Launch Pad
Profit First
This Launch Pad runs your Instant Assessment on real numbers, shows you where your money is leaking, and leaves you with a personalised 3-Number Dashboard and a Profit First setup plan.
Bring to the session
- Your output from LP 2.8 (your legal entity, Profit First accounts, and invoice template). That was your starting structure. This LP checks whether your actual numbers still fit it.
- Your output from LP 1.7 (your v1 revenue model), LP 3.5 (your current pricing), and LP 4.3 (your weekly review data). LP 1.7 was your projection. This LP uses real numbers. The gap between the two tells you what you learned.
- Monthly revenue for the last three months
- Monthly expenses by category
- Current bank balance
- Personal income target
What you walk away with
Your Instant Assessment Gap analysis Customised 3-Number Dashboard Expense Assassination list Profit First account setup guide
The AI does the arithmetic and the sorting. You make the decisions: which expense dies, which percentage you commit to, what you pay yourself. It cannot open the bank accounts, and it cannot make the fifteen-minute uncomfortable phone call that cancels the agency. That is your job.
The guided version opens with The Builder's Desk
A 5-step guided session that structures the work, saves your outputs, and connects them across chapters. Until then, the full briefing is in your copy of the book — it works with any capable AI assistant.
From the book: Save this output, you will need it for LP 4.6. ---
