The usual failure
A title on Slack. Slide decks. Annual roadmaps. Weekly panic. If nothing can be paused, there is no strategy.
What to make true
Ninety days, one leak, weekly ship, a scoreboard a human believes, kill criteria, handoff notes.
Worked example
Keep it this plain. A team uses fractional cmo as if buying the software installed the meaning. It did not. A title on Slack. Slide decks. Annual roadmaps. Weekly panic. If nothing can be paused, there is no strategy. The move is not a new integration. Ninety days, one leak, weekly ship, a scoreboard a human believes, kill criteria, handoff notes.
