THE LEVERAGE-CYCLE PLANNER  —  the move that raises revenue per hour, + the cadence
From "The One-Person AI Business — Advanced", Chapters 10–11
================================================================

A leverage cycle is a closed loop that raises the ratio and then FEEDS itself:
you deploy assets you already own so revenue rises while your recurring hours
don't climb above where you started, and the proceeds make the next turn easier.
This plans one cycle — and books the cadence that turns one win into years of them.


THE STRICT TEST  (what makes it leverage, not a job you gave yourself)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Revenue per hour must RISE, and recurring hours must NOT climb above your
  starting baseline. One-time build hours are a separate investment (with its own payback);
  they NEVER enter the ratio's denominator.


STEP 1 · BUILD THE LOOP FROM OWNED PIECES
----------------------------------------------------------------
  [ ] Owned distribution (the list) carries it — no new rented reach
  [ ] Points to productised judgement (earns without recurring hours)
  [ ] At your risen price (pricing power)
  [ ] Routine questions run under a governed-autonomy cap (no added attention)
  My loop: ______________________________________________________


STEP 2 · THE LEDGER  (before → build → after; recurring hours only in the ratio)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Stage                    Net rev/mo   Recurring hrs   One-time build   Ratio
  ----------------------   ----------   -------------   --------------   -----
  Before                   £________     ______          —               £____
  Build quarter            £________     ______          ______ (once)   (build)
  After (steady state)     £________     ______          — (paid once)   £____
  Check: after-ratio > before-ratio? ___   after recurring hrs <= baseline? ___


STEP 3 · THE RULE THAT MAKES RETREAT COSTLY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bind yourself before nerve can vote: announce the date/price to your owned list
so pulling back has a public cost; commit the price in writing; set "no added
RECURRING hours" as a hard line.
  My retreat-costly commitment: ________________________________


STEP 4 · IF THE RATIO DOESN'T MOVE  (a result, not a failure)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Which ceiling prevented the ratio from moving: ______  Working hypothesis: ______  Next test: ______
  What would prove the fix wrong: ______  (never a flat "it can't be done")


STEP 5 · THE COMPOUNDING CADENCE  (book it, or it's a wish)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Each quarter, on the calendar: re-measure the ratio (rolling trend) · re-run the
durability audit and fix the worst axis · name the ceiling that binds NOW (it moves)
· deploy one governed cycle against it.
  My four quarterly reviews (dates): ____  ____  ____  ____


THE FORCING COMMITMENT  (dated)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  "Cycle launched [date]: [loop]. Retreat-costly rule: ________. Ledger — before
   £__/__hrs=£__/hr; after £__/__recurring hrs=£__/hr (build __hrs once). Result:
   [compounded £__→£__] OR [ceiling ____ + hypothesis + next test]. Next review:
   [date]. Ceiling I expect next: ____; cycle I'll test: ____."
