How much of the plan
is real yet?

Most 100-day plans are checklists that die in week six because nothing in them has an owner or a number. This tracker is the other kind: named initiatives, each with an owner, a dollar target, a stage, and a validated figure that only moves when the P&L does.

What's inside

  • The initiative register: 24 slots with lever category, owner, day-one baseline, stage, and three honest dollar columns (target, expected, realized)
  • Stage discipline built in: Idea, Scoped, In execution, Delivered, and Validated, which nothing reaches until the P&L shows it two consecutive months
  • A summary tab that answers the sponsor's only question: total target, expected, validated, and the validated share, plus rollups by stage and by lever
  • Ships with a worked example: eight initiatives, $3.0M target, $2.4M expected, $510K validated, so you can see the shape before you build yours
  • No macros, no lock-in. Opens in Excel and imports cleanly into Google Sheets

How to use it

  1. Name each initiative in operating language. "Invoke the CPI escalators in 41 contracts" can be done or not done; "optimize pricing" cannot.
  2. One owner per row. A shared owner is no owner. Record the day-one baseline before any work starts; every diligence hypothesis becomes a baseline to validate.
  3. Set target, expected, and realized honestly. The gap between target and expected is your confidence discount, and it should exist.
  4. Review monthly, out loud, owners present. Stuck in Scoped for two reviews means rescope or kill. Validated means the P&L showed it twice.

The dollars usually come from levers this library already covers: the pricing calculator, the whale curve, the inventory workbook. If you want the plan built from a tested baseline instead of assumed one, start a conversation.
