01

A grid is not a plan

Dates and titles tell production what to make. They do not tell a reviewer why that work deserves to exist.

02

Give each slot a job

Attach the objective, audience, message role and source campaign to each item. That makes disagreement specific and revision faster.

  • Which objective does this support?
  • Why this channel and format?
  • What evidence constrains it?
03

Carry the last cycle forward

A new month should begin with accepted decisions and learning, not another blank spreadsheet.
