You grew from 15 to 80 people.
Why did shipping speed drop by half?
Restore Day 1 urgency without micromanaging your team leads. Silicon Valley Playbook is the leadership alignment & execution engine for scaleups that kills internal misalignment before it kills your runway.
For CEOs, COOs and VPs at 50–500 person companies.
Why your team's ChatGPT won't fix internal misalignment
Your problem isn't that people can't write or think. It's selective memory, self-reporting bias and fear of conflict. We are not another AI chat — we are a relentless operating rhythm that uses AI as a neutral arbiter.
ChatGPT helps people write better excuses.
We force binary facts.
“Last week you committed to P1: ship self-serve checkout. Is it live? Yes / No. If no — who is the blocker?” No polished prose, no room to hide a slipping launch.
ChatGPT has no memory of your promises.
We measure every team's Say/Do ratio.
Every commitment is logged with a date. When “two weeks” passes, it is automatically flagged as a slip. A new chat window forgets; your commitment history doesn't.
ChatGPT lets debates run forever.
We escalate stuck decisions after 7 days.
Sales vs. Product arguing in Slack for three weeks? After 7 days without a decision it becomes a Decision Ticket for the CEO: option A vs. option B, one click, logged.
ChatGPT waits for someone to prompt it.
We run the Friday-to-Monday cadence for you.
Friday 15:30 every lead gets a 3-minute check-in. No answer by 17:00 shows red. Monday 08:00 the CEO reads a one-page briefing. Nobody copies anything into a chat.
ChatGPT is a pen and paper. We are the Chief of Staff in the background who remembers what was promised.
What worked at 10 people breaks at 80.
Growth adds people faster than it adds clarity. The symptoms are always the same.
Leads spend 4+ hours a week in status meetings that exist only because nobody trusts the written updates.
Product, Growth and Sales each run their own roadmap. Three teams quietly build overlapping things.
At 15 people every decision took an hour. At 80 it takes three weeks of Slack threads — or never happens.
Four engines for high-velocity teams
Every team lead submits a 3-minute Friday pulse: what moved (with numbers), what is blocked, which decision waits on leadership. AI aggregates it into a one-page Monday memo for the CEO/COO.
Cross-functional disputes (Product vs. Sales on a custom feature) don't rot on Slack. After 7 days they become a formal Decision Ticket with clear option A vs. B for leadership.
Every team goal links to the North Star metric. Marketing can't report blog traffic if demo calls aren't moving. Impact vs. effort, made visible.
An auditable history of every key pivot, kill and double-down — with the evidence behind it. New hires learn why, not just what.
From friction to high velocity
Built for the leadership team
One page every Monday shows what really moved, what's stuck, and which decisions only you can make.
Feature requests are scored on customer evidence, not on who shouts loudest in the roadmap review.
Dependencies and cross-team deadlocks are visible and escalated before they burn a sprint.
Your AI Chief of Staff — for a fraction of the hire.
A great human Chief of Staff costs €120k–€250k a year and still gets pulled into politics. Ours keeps leadership aligned every week, has no team to defend and no bonus to protect.
Every lead answers 3 questions: what shipped vs. promised, where we stand, biggest risk. No status meetings.
Excuses and vanity metrics filtered out. Only the 3 real red flags reach the CEO.
Any initiative stuck 7–14 days without a decision becomes a forced A-vs-B decision ticket.
Original promises vs. delivered reality, burn and unit economics — without the slide-deck retouching.
€120k–€250k / year · 1 person · absorbed by internal politics
From €1,000 / month · every team, every week · zero politics
“We already use Copilot.” Good. This is different.
Copilot helps your people do things faster. Silicon Valley Playbook makes sure they are doing the right things — and not leading you on.
| Microsoft Copilot / ChatGPT | Silicon Valley Playbook Judgment Engine | |
|---|---|---|
| Role on the team | Passive assistant — does what you ask | Objective challenger — questions assumptions |
| Behaviour | Polite, smooths over problems | Radically honest, exposes self-deception |
| Leadership visibility | None — private chat per employee | One radar of risks and stuck decisions |
| Accountability | Generates text, no commitments | Tracks promises and keeps execution history |
| Methodology | General-purpose language model | Opinionated framework for killing bad bets |
We already use Microsoft Copilot. Why do we need this?
Copilot is a great writer. It helps your people write a nicer explanation of why a project is late. We exist to catch that delay before it costs you another €300k.
Can't people just ask ChatGPT or Copilot the hard questions?
They can — but they won't. Nobody asks a question whose answer proves them wrong. Silicon Valley Playbook asks it for them, every week, and remembers the answer.
What does leadership get that a chat window can't give?
A single portfolio view: every initiative, its commitments, missed deadlines and judgment score. Chat history in private Copilot windows is invisible to you.
