# 90-Day Execution Plan

Turns an approved decision into a 90-day plan with weekly milestones, named DRIs (Directly Responsible Individuals), and check-in cadence. Where most decisions die: between "we decided" and "what's next Monday?"

## Input

An approved decision record.

## Workflow

1. Read the decision record
2. Decompose into 3-6 workstreams
3. Name a DRI for each workstream
4. Reverse-engineer 12 weekly milestones from checkpoint date
5. Set cadence (weekly + bi-weekly + 30/60/90 checkpoints)
6. Build risk register (cross-reference devil's-advocate concerns from Phase 4)
7. Save and notify DRIs

## Plan Format

**Decision:** [link]
**Owner (Sponsor):** [founder or exec]
**Start:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Checkpoint:** YYYY-MM-DD (90 days)

**Outcome:** [Copied from decision: success + kill criteria]

**Workstreams**
| Workstream | DRI | Success Metric | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| <name> | <name> | <metric, threshold> | Not started |

**Weekly Milestones**
| Week | Milestone | DRI | Definition of Done |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | <milestone> | <name> | <observable outcome> |
| 12 | <checkpoint review> | <name> | <observable> |

**Cadence**
- Weekly: owner reviews status (15 min)
- Bi-weekly: cross-functional sync (30 min)
- Day 30 / 60 / 90: checkpoint with chief of staff

**Dependencies**
- Internal: [list]
- External: [vendors, regulators, customers]

**Risk Register**
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Owner | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <risk> | M | H | <name> | <plan> |

## Why 90 Days

Long enough to show real signal (not just activity). Short enough to course-correct before damage compounds. Matches quarterly OKR cycle.
