THE ENGAGEMENT

Company Intent

The founder’s direction for the business, in their own words, with the numbers behind it.

Definition

The founder’s direction for the business, captured in the Red Brief in the founder’s own words, with the assumptions and the numbers behind it written down explicitly.

Why it exists

Everything the platform does afterwards is measured against this.

Example

Beep’s founder writes the direction in their own words, with the numbers underneath. Every agent after that is measured against that, not against a slide.
