THE QUARTERLY REVIEW CHECKLIST From "Digital Products — Advanced", chapter 12 ================================================================ A business run by feel drifts. A business run by a recurring review compounds. Once a quarter, block ninety minutes, set a recurring calendar date now, and work these five in order.

For each product: Anything below your owner-hour rate that does NOT feed a higher rung: ____________________ -> consider retiring The one product worth putting more behind this quarter: ____________________ -> fund it 4 · THE ACQUISITION DECISION (from cohorts, not feel) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Is a paid channel still under its CAC ceiling?

Next quarter's one constraint: _______________________________________ How I will know it moved: _______________________________________ ================================================================ Yours to keep — free, and no strings attached.
