REPLACE A CEO.

Roadmap / 5 October 2026

Earn executive responsibility.

The goal is an application and service a CEO or company chooses because it delivers useful work at a justified price. Responsibilities, authority, results and the return path must be explicit.

Planned, not available for sale. No CEO replacement or absent-CEO coverage engagement is currently offered. The internal workflow still needs real independent review, an external sandbox response and a seven-day monitored pilot.

Three reasons to hire us

CEO-led transition

A CEO hires us to take over agreed executive work. Parallel operation proves the result before a reversible responsibility-by-responsibility handover.

Company-led replacement

An authorized board or owner hires us to replace defined CEO responsibilities. Mandate, retained accountability, stakeholder transition and reserved decisions are agreed before action.

Absent-CEO cover

A company needs continuity during leave, departure or a vacancy. The engagement has a fixed period, decision limits, human escalation and a tested return handover.

Delegated work is distinct from formal appointment. Fiduciary responsibilities, employment changes and binding commitments require the appropriate authorized people and qualified review.

Evidence before expansion.

  1. Prove one workflow: real handoffs, independent QA and seven monitored days with completion, incidents, interventions and cost measured.
  2. Deliver a production application: real integrations, durable records, permissions, recovery, monitoring, export and handover. Client acceptance tests every contracted journey and failure path.
  3. Build the executive operating application: connect strategy and decisions, budget controls, execution ownership, KPI reporting, stakeholder updates and escalation. Measure shadow operation against an accountable executive's baseline.
  4. Qualify absent-CEO cover: written time-bounded authority, actual coverage capacity, escalation, continuity drills and return handover.
  5. Qualify CEO-led transition: compare decision quality and outcomes in parallel operation, then transfer only approved responsibilities.
  6. Qualify company-led replacement: governing-body authorization, qualified review, independent assurance, stakeholder transition and rollback before expanding responsibility.

Stages have evidence gates, not promised launch dates. A published feature does not prove customer value or continuous coverage.

Anything sold must earn its price.

A paid application must be fully working within its contracted scope. Every advertised primary journey and integration runs in the delivered environment. No placeholders, dead buttons, mock integrations or hidden manual work presented as automation. Independent review, client acceptance, documentation, support capacity, recovery and an exit path are release requirements.

Before quoting, the buyer's baseline, exact result, likely benefit, uncertainty and full ownership cost are reviewed. If evidence cannot justify the price, we re-scope, reduce it or decline. No guaranteed ROI is implied.

Decision Sprint is a written review, RAG Proof an evaluation and Growth Desk a content/campaign service—not completed applications. Current prices are hypotheses and paid orders remain closed. Free tools and fictional samples are demonstrations, not proof of delivered client value.

Read offer-specific acceptance standards

What a complete application must pass

Stage 2 now has an eight-journey acceptance specification. This is a release requirement, not a claim that a client application has passed it. The first scope will be one authorized business process from validated input to a usable result in the buyer's real system.

  1. Submit, route and inspect durable input; reject invalid input and test receipt expiry/deletion.
  2. Approve the exact scope with the authorized buyer and independent reviewer; block stale or unauthorized approval.
  3. Produce validated output through the real integration; inspect destination acknowledgment and prove replay does not duplicate the external action.
  4. Recover from partial success, timeout and restart, or stop and escalate with a named owner.
  5. Independently inspect the result; reject incorrect, incomplete or stale output before release.
  6. Run client acceptance and hand over usable output, documentation and supported access. An internal pilot witness is not client acceptance.
  7. Measure at least seven monitored days of completions, incidents, interventions, actual cost and coverage gaps.
  8. Demonstrate restore, readable export, access isolation and the agreed deletion/exit path.

All contracted critical journeys and failure cases must pass, with zero open material defects. Performance targets and support windows are agreed and measured; no continuous coverage is inferred from scheduled execution.

The integration boundary rejects a success callback unless it carries a matching workflow, tenant and event identity, bounded output reference, SHA-256 digest and destination acknowledgment. The authenticated reviewer can inspect those private references, hash the retrieved file locally and cannot pass QA unless the server matches the digest and the reviewer attests the expected-output comparison. The file contents are not uploaded.

Current gap: the deployed workflow is a fixed internal reference pilot. A real external result and independent inspection, client provisioning, restore/exit evidence, monitored outcomes and client acceptance remain unproven. Paid orders remain closed.

Before quoting, observed task volume, time reduction, error/rework, agreed cost rate and full implementation, operating, support and exit costs must justify the price against the buyer's threshold. These buyer-specific inputs are currently unknown. Released capacity is not cash saving without a real budget change.

Which executive gap needs filling?

CEOs and authorized company representatives can enquire now about all three tracks. The private form separately captures the authority basis, functions in scope, current systems, measurable baseline, acceptance criteria and retained human decisions or escalation limits. These answers structure discovery only: they do not verify a mandate, grant access, open an offer, accept an appointment or promise availability, and are not an accepted order. Keep confidential board and employee records out of the initial brief.
