Make "Approved" Stick Before Launch — Rehearsal Mode Diagnostic™
The 5-day fix for late vetoes + revision loops in approval-heavy teams. Designed in professional theater where late changes are expensive—now installed in approval-heavy corporate teams.
$5,000 · Core team ≤25 · Delivered 5 business days after strategy session
Partner-ready: Adoption governance: decision rights + feedback lanes + escalation path
The moment this is for
You're within 10 days of launch. Someone who's been quiet drops a "small concern." Suddenly "approved" isn't approved. Your team scrambles, confidence drops, and the cycle repeats.
That's not a personality problem. It's not a "better communication" problem. It's a decision system problem.
Rehearsal Mode is the opposite of performance mode: it makes it normal—and safe enough—to surface the real constraints early, while changes are still cheap.
What this is
A fast, STAGES™-based operational diagnostic that identifies exactly where "approved" reopens and delivers a mechanism kit to stop it happening again.
No big change program. No endless workshops. Just the pieces your workflow is missing: clear decision rights, bounded feedback, and a clean escalation path.
Who it's for
Creative Ops / Brand Ops / Marketing Ops leaders who are tired of:
- "alignment" that collapses at the finish line
- feedback that arrives too late to be useful
- hidden veto power and unclear decision ownership
- revision loops that destroy throughput and morale
The process (simple + explicit)
1
Booking + Leader Intake
2
We send the Team Pulse (core team ≤25) + Leader Worksheet
3
We run a Leadership Strategy Session (60–90 minutes)
4
Within 5 business days after that session, you receive all deliverables (deliverables-only; no readout required)
What you receive (Rehearsal Mode Mechanism Kit)
1
Truth-Timing Map™ (1 page)
Where truth gets stuck, what arrives late, and what triggers rework.
2
Workflow Bottleneck Map
Your real approval flow with the choke points marked.
3
Decision Rights Matrix
Who decides what, what's final, what's input vs approval, and where escalation goes.
4
Feedback Lanes + Approval Benchmarks
What feedback belongs at Concept vs Draft vs Final—and what becomes a new request.
5
Escalation Path + Repair Protocol
How late concerns get handled fast without detonating the launch.
6
30-Day Install Plan + Templates
Owners, weekly sequence, decision log, notes rhythm, escalation packet.
7
Executive Brief (forwardable)
What's breaking, what it's costing, what changes now.
What we measure (so this isn't "nice insights")
Baseline + 30-day tracking guidance for:
- approval cycle time
- revision rounds
- late-stage changes (inside 10 days)
- escalations / emergency meetings
- decision clarity + safety pulse (Team Pulse)
What happens next (we guide you to one clear step)
Based on what we find, you'll get a recommended path:
DIY Implementation License ($3,500)
(you run it with our kit)
Install Concierge —30 days ($12k)
(most teams choose this)
Activation Sprint (from $49k)
for full operating-system install (Lab is a delivery format when live facilitation is needed.)
Bottom line: If "approved" keeps reopening, you don't need more hustle. You need a decision system that holds under pressure.
