Framework · initiative business case and charter
Evidence before activity
A concise business case and charter make the problem, economics, guardrails, ownership, milestones, and proof of success explicit before activity begins.
Design principle
The charter is a value contract—not an administrative artifact.
Design the intervention
Segment the problem, reset the operating rules, define required capability, and preserve customer or service guardrails.
Assign accountability
Name the accountable executive, core team, decision owners, evidence owners, and escalation path.
Sequence the proof
Tie each milestone to observable evidence so leaders can fund, adjust, scale, or stop the work intelligently.
