Friday Cut

Find the version that can actually ship.

A deadline is not a strategy. Cut the crowded plan down to a minimum credible finish, name what could stop it, and put one person on the deciding line.

What has to be true when Friday arrives?

Say it plainly. This is triage, not a proposal.

Nothing is sent. Your draft stays in this browser unless you copy it or choose to bring it to June.

A smaller promise is not a smaller standard

Credible beats impressive when the clock is real.

The Cut does not tell you to work faster. It shows which promise survives, which risks need daylight, and which good ideas cannot be allowed to hold Friday hostage.

01

One ship line

The exact thing that has to exist—not the entire universe around it.

02

One risk check

The dependency most likely to turn a plan into a Friday-night apology.

03

One decision owner

The person allowed to say the credible version is enough to move.

Yours to keep

The Friday Cut is free.

Copy it into Slack, a client thread, your notes, or the meeting where “one tiny addition” usually appears.

If the cut still needs hands

June can carry the same thread.

Bring the cut into a Finish Map. If human work makes sense, you see the boundary, timing, and price before anything begins.

Ask June to carry it
