Scale · Chapter 6 · AI Launch Pad
Choose My Path
This Launch Pad turns the scale-or-stay-small choice into a structured decision. Not a personality quiz. An analysis that surfaces what you actually want, tests it against your business reality, and ends in a Decision Statement you can act on.
Bring to the session
- Your Revenue Engine Blueprint, conversion targets, and retention data from LP 3.12
- Your output from LP 4.5 (financial dashboard) and LP 4.1 (operations audit). Your financial reality and your Owner Dependency Score are the data that makes this decision honest instead of aspirational.
- Your answers to the seven Path Chooser questions (written down, not just in your head)
- Your current business metrics from LP 4.5: monthly revenue, profit percentage, hours worked
- Your CENTS diagnostic scores (Control, Entry, Need, Time, Scale)
- Your personal goals: income, lifestyle, family, time
- Honest self-assessment: what energises you and what drains you
What you walk away with
a path recommendation with reasoning, your Scale-or-Stay Scorecard filled in with a readiness assessment, a devil's advocate challenge you have answered in writing, your Swings Left score, a 90-day bullet test plan, a 12-month financial model for each path, and a Decision Statement draft.
The AI does the analysis. You make the choice. It can model every path and argue every side. It cannot want something for you, and it will not live with the consequences. The decision is yours.
The guided version opens with The Builder's Desk
A 6-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 4.7. ---
