Operating Rhythm — solo founder, run like a company

The cadence that keeps a one-person company honest. Everything here is designed to survive a bad week.

Weekly loop

When Ritual Output
Monday (15 min) Pick ≤3 priorities from docs/dashboard/README.md; sanity-check against plan deadlines (day-14 preconditions, day-30 fail line, day-40 checkpoint) This week's 3 lines in the weekly report draft
Daily Build/school work per the time budget: ~50% school-facing / ~30% build / ~20% ops. Ops includes program applications (PROGRAMS.md) —
Friday (30 min) npm run report:weekly → fill the narrative sections of docs/dashboard/weekly/<week>.md; update the dashboard status tables; commit The weekly report — the investor update you write before having investors
Friday (5 min) One program application step (or skip consciously — never silently) PROGRAMS.md status tick

Rules that make it professional

  1. The report ships even on bad weeks. A report that says "nothing moved, here's why" is a functioning company; silence is a hobby.
  2. Numbers come from the script, never from memory. metrics:weekly definitions are code; zeros stay zeros.
  3. Decisions get written down the day they're made (DECISIONS.md once the constitution exists; until then, the weekly report's Progress section).
  4. Deferred work goes to TODOS.md with context, or it doesn't exist.
  5. Deploys are verified, not assumed: CD "success" only submits the build — confirm the health check at https://classmode.inmodel.in flipped before calling it shipped.
  6. The calendar serves demand evidence. Any week where 0% of time was school-facing gets called out in its own report.
