Turn research into an action plan

Convert everything in the notebook into a concrete, phased plan with evidence-rated actions and a real decision point at the end.

Category: Strategy & Decisions · Best for: Operators, founders, anyone moving from research to execution

Convert this notebook into a phased action plan for someone applying what they just learned.

Use a 30-day cadence by default, or adjust if the sources suggest a different natural timeframe. Structure as four phases:

Phase 1 — Foundation.
3 actions. For each: what to do (one verb-led line), the source that supports it, and the smallest credible "done" condition. Rate each action's evidence: [well-supported], [partially supported], or [inferred from sources].

Phase 2 — Build.
3 actions, same format. These should compound on Phase 1.

Phase 3 — Pressure-test.
3 actions, same format. These should expose whether the plan is working.

Phase 4 — Decide.
2 actions, same format, plus one explicit decision point: "If X by end of Phase 4, do Y; otherwise Z." Both branches must be grounded in the notebook.

Flag any action that requires information not in the notebook — these are research tasks, not execution tasks.

Constraints:
- No action longer than one sentence.
- If two actions overlap, merge them. Twelve actions max.
- If the sources can't support a phase, write "Not enough evidence — here's what to research first" rather than fabricating tasks.
