Where to double down

Overview

Saying yes to one thing is really saying no to another, but the no is invisible, so the trade never feels real. Meanwhile some efforts have momentum begging to be fed and others are quietly consuming people with little to show. This preset makes the trade explicit: where to lean in, where to ease off, and why.

What this is for

This preset solves the allocation problem. Attention and resources flow toward whatever is loudest, most familiar, or most recently promised, not necessarily toward what’s working. A project with real momentum gets the same trickle of support as one that’s been stuck for a month, because nobody’s stepped back to compare their trajectories and shift the weight accordingly.

The Where to double down preset steps back for you. Each Friday it reviews goal progress, momentum, and team capacity over the last month, then recommends where to invest more and where to pull back or pause, with the reasoning for each call. It’s the portfolio conversation you should have regularly and almost never do, delivered as a starting point you can argue with.

Who should use this

Founders and executives allocating finite attention across many bets. You’ll get a regular, data-grounded read on which bets deserve more and which deserve less.

Managers spread across competing priorities who default to spreading themselves evenly. You’ll see where concentration would pay off and where it’s being wasted.

Leaders who rarely stop to reallocate once a plan is set. You’ll get a built-in prompt to course-correct while there’s still room to.

The prompt

Based on goal progress, momentum, and team capacity over the last 30 days, recommend where I should invest more attention and resources and where I should pull back or pause. Explain the reasoning behind each recommendation.
