Operating Cadence · Tool

The 20 minutes that decide whether next week is a repeat or a real move.

A guided Skill that runs your weekly review in conversation. Captures what you intended, surfaces the patterns in what actually happened, and sets next week's three intentions with the discipline of a good coach and the patience of one too.

Most founders run a weekly review for three weeks, then quietly stop. The problem isn't motivation. The problem is friction — opening a Notion page, remembering what your goals were, noticing patterns is genuinely hard alone, and the act of writing the review feels like another task instead of a tool. Founder Weekly Review fixes the friction. You open Claude. The Skill picks up last week's intentions. Walks you through what shipped vs what slipped. Surfaces patterns ('third week running you've moved the sales call to Friday — what does that mean?'). Helps you write three intentions for next week that are actually intentions, not a to-do list with hope attached. Twenty minutes. Friday afternoon or Sunday evening. The compound effect is that you stop confusing motion with progress.

A worked example

What it actually does.

It's Friday. You open Claude.

The Tool
Last week you committed to: (1) close the SaaS prospect, (2) ship the pricing page, (3) write the Q3 hiring plan. How did you do?
You
Pricing page shipped. Prospect call rescheduled to next week. Hiring plan still untouched.
The Tool
The hiring plan has now moved three weeks in a row. What's actually going on?
You
You think about it. Realise you don't believe you can afford the hire yet, but won't admit it.
The Tool
So the real decision isn't when do I write the hiring plan. It's: do I believe the business can support this hire by Q4. Worth treating that as next week's intention?
You
You write it down. You spend Monday on it instead of avoiding it.

Questions

Before you buy.

How is this different from just asking Claude directly?

A cold chat has no memory of last week and no opinion about whether you're avoiding something. Founder Weekly Review runs a fixed sequence — context, what shipped vs slipped, the pattern across recent weeks, the energy audit, three (and only three) intentions — and pushes back when you try to write six or dodge the pattern. It behaves like a coach with a checklist, not a blank box.

Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?

Yes. The native Claude Skill (.zip) keeps a conversational thread of prior weeks; the plain .md works in ChatGPT, Gemini, or any LLM. With non-Claude tools you'll paste in last week's note to give it the same continuity.

Can I share this with my team?

It's licensed for your own use — it's built for the solo operator who doesn't have a co-founder to review with. If you want every operator on your team running the same cadence, email hello@authority.md about team licensing.

What if it doesn't work for me?

If the file hasn't been delivered, or is defective or empty, we refund in full — see the refund policy in our terms. It's an operating-cadence tool, not a substitute for a coach, a co-founder, or a peer group — just structure for the founders who don't have those.
