What it does
A huge target looks impossible until it is broken apart. Most of the big choices follow from the goal, and the target turns into a short sum you can test. This workflow starts there, then asks how the product becomes a habit, who you depend on and what would guarantee failure. It runs five steps in order. It settles the big, obvious choices that the goal already forces. It works back from the target to yearly earnings and splits them into buyers, purchases, share and profit per sale, marking each figure as checked, estimated or a guess. It designs the stack of forces that makes buying repeat. It checks how your partners are paid. Last it asks what you must avoid, by thinking in reverse. The method comes from Charlie Munger's talk on turning a small start into a huge business, in Poor Charlie's Almanack. It is a planning aid,…
You give it

- The size you want it to reach and by what year
- Your open questions and the limits you cannot change (optional)
- Market size, purchase counts and prices you can source (optional)

You get

- A design for the repeat-buying habit, with true rewards, true ties and a reach map
- A check of your partners' pay, and a list of what to avoid
