Answers to common questions.
What is Control Alt Recover?
A methodology for recovering stalled initiatives by fixing the decision system, not just the program.
Who is the Strategy Alignment Playbook for?
COOs, PMO leaders, operating partners, and practitioners who have accountability for outcomes they don't fully control.
Is the Field Guide enough?
For a first diagnosis, yes. If the drift touches decision rights or governance, the Playbook goes further.
What is the difference between the Field Guide and the Playbook?
The Field Guide is a free, fast diagnostic entry point. The Playbook is the full paid system: 15 frameworks and 7 scored instruments for diagnosing and fixing the environment around stalled work.
Where do I start if I want to work with you directly?
The Signal Check: $49.95, 30 minutes, and you leave with your Drift Score, your Hostility Quotient, and a written findings note within 48 hours. The fee credits toward any purchase within 90 days. Six slots a month; that is the capacity. Leaders deciding on organization-level support should book the Executive Diagnostic instead.
How do coaching, training, and the For Teams engagements differ?
Coaching and training work directly with you, whether that's one operator or an intact leadership team, using the Playbook as the shared framework. The For Teams engagements (workshops, fractional support, and Program Recovery) reset the decision system across a whole organization, not just the leadership layer.
What happened to the $59 Playbook?
Early buyers got launch pricing while the system was being proven in the field. The Playbook is now the flagship of the catalog. The founding price of $249 covers the first 25 copies; after that it is $349.
What happens after I submit a form or book a session?
Field Guide downloads are instant. Signal Checks and Executive Diagnostics come with a scheduled session and a direct recommendation. Coaching, workshop, and fractional inquiries get a response within one business day.
