One Document From Each Vault, Free.
The Weekly CEO Update
The one document every full-time Chief of Staff writes and almost nobody learns. Yours for a name, an email and where you sit.
Get the document →The Executive’s User Manual
How your executive takes a briefing, an interruption and a disagreement, on paper before you lose a month guessing. Works for a full-time boss or a fractional client. Yours for a name, an email and where you sit.
Get the document →Nobody Left You the Files. Or They Left You the Wrong Ones.
Most Chiefs of Staff build the same documents from scratch at eleven on a Sunday night, for an executive who needs them Monday. The lucky ones inherit a folder called “templates FINAL v3” that somebody wrote for somebody else’s CEO. We wrote the files we wished someone had left us.
The Full-Time Vault
The documents that run an executive’s office. Board packs, decision logs, comms cascades, offsite runbooks, the reorg, the crisis you get one hour to answer, and the second year in the role. Ten shelves, forty-four documents and tools, the KPI Builder and the Mandate Architect among them.
Open the Full-Time VaultThe Fractional Vault
The documents that run a part-time engagement. The commission, the keys, the weekly value signal, the installation review, the readings at six, twelve and eighteen months, the exit. Seven phases, thirty-three documents, the Commission Architect, and the ten full-time documents the engagement cannot run without.
Open the Fractional VaultBoth Vaults
Every shelf in both libraries, all three instruments, one membership. For the Chief of Staff with a full-time role and a client on the side, or who expects to move between the two. $95 less than the two memberships apart.

Two People Who Did the Job.

Chief of Staff to a UK Deputy Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor, with nearly two decades at the center of complex, high-stakes environments.
Each Vault on One Page.
Every document, placed where it lives in the role. The Full-Time Vault runs three years across the page, from before the hire to Month Thirty-Six. The Fractional Vault runs an engagement from the first conversation to the last meeting, one row per person. The box in the corner of each map explains how to read it.
What Members Pull Down.
The shelves as members see them, one picture per shelf, with every title under it. Every book opens three ways inside the Vault: the Full Guide with a worked example under each part, the fillable worksheet that saves to your account, and the Quick Read on screen. Nothing opens from this page.
