The Fix Library

Knowing the gap is not the same as closing it.

The Fix Library is a subscription to Fixes I have written, £49 a month. Each one closes a single exposure, with the artefact to do it and the Check that proves you did. Every business carries gaps it has learned to live with. AI will not find them. It will build on them, confidently.

One Fix, drawn

01

The symptom

What you would notice

02

The cause

In your kind of business

03

The move

Decisions already made

04

The artefact

Built, not described

05

The Check

True by when

06

The AI Review

Where the multiplier turns

Ask AI whether you can afford the hire. Before the Fix, it guesses, fluently. After, it answers from your own thirteen weeks of cash, and you can check the number. That is the AI Review, and it is why the Fix comes first.

What a Fix is

What a Fix is

One exposure, closed properly. Every Fix has the same six parts.

A Fix does not stop at telling you what to do. It leaves you with the thing to use and the Check to run again next quarter, and the one after, without asking anyone. Each one is written against a pattern, not a topic, and every one comes from something I have had to do in a real business.

01

The symptom

What you would notice in your business if this exposure is open. Written so you can tell in a minute whether it applies to you.

02

The cause

Why it happens in your kind of business specifically, not in business generally.

03

The move

What to do, in order, with the decisions already made. Not options to weigh. The one I would do, and why.

04

The artefact

The actual thing. The spreadsheet, the template, the agenda, the one-page format. Built, not described.

05

The Check

What should now be true, and by when. A number or a behaviour, not a feeling.

06

Ask AI whether you can afford the hire. Before the Fix it guesses, fluently. After, it answers from your own numbers, and you can check the one that matters. Six steps, taught once, applied to every Fix.

The Fix

The Thirteen-Week Cashflow

The one most operators say they have and most do not actually update.

Symptom

Expensive emergency finance, terms you would normally refuse, or a hire delayed because you cannot see whether you can afford it.

Artefact

A five-tab workbook, tested. About an hour to build the first time, then twenty minutes a week.

AI Review

Ask AI whether you can afford the hire and it will answer from the numbers you gave it, which is the problem.

What keeps happening

What keeps happening

Closing two exposures surfaces the next two.

That is not a sales line, it is what happens. A business that has fixed its cost to serve starts seeing its delegation problem. The library is there for the ones you have not met yet.

Your Register.

One page holding your two exposures, the Fixes in play, the Checks you have passed, and what you have parked deliberately. It is what we work from whenever we meet.

New Fixes.

Written against patterns rather than topics, so what arrives is aimed at how you actually operate. Existing ones kept current as the tools change, which at the moment is constantly.

Reusable Checks.

Every Fix ships with the Check that proves it worked. Run it again next quarter, and the one after, without asking anyone.

Why it is £49

Why it is £49

A Fix is written once and read by everyone with that pattern.

Charging consulting rates for something that scales would be dishonest about what it is. Judgement applied to your specific business costs more, and it should. That is the Operator Review.

Monthly.

Everything published, from the day you join.

Start here

The exposures close one at a time, and you can prove each one.

Every one you close is one more thing you can hand to AI knowing what it is working from. That is the whole offer. If you want to work it out yourself, start with the Library. If you want my judgement on where to start, book the Operator Review.

The Library gives you the means. The Operator Review tells you which two to use first.
