How it works
System process
A system process, not a list of generic steps.
01
Diagnose
Timeframe
Days 1-7
What happens
- •Audit current pipeline system and data flows
- •Validate ICP and hypothesis for who you win
- •Identify bottlenecks and failure points
Outputs
- •System map + score
- •Prioritized fix list
02
Build
Timeframe
Weeks 2-6
What happens
- •Design system architecture across the stack
- •Implement targeting, messaging, orchestration, routing
- •Define feedback loops and metrics
Outputs
- •Working system v1
- •Playbooks + QA checks
03
Stabilize
Timeframe
Weeks 6-8
What happens
- •QA across data, messaging, routing
- •Set governance and ownership
- •Train team on system usage
Outputs
- •Stable runbook
- •Governance rules
04
Optimize
Timeframe
Ongoing
What happens
- •Review outcomes and attribution
- •Test messaging and targeting hypotheses
- •Improve routing and conversion rates
Outputs
- •Monthly learning loop
- •System improvements
Why systems fail
- •Unclear ICP
- •Generic messaging
- •No routing rules
- •Manual ops
- •No learning loop
