Build a One-Page Weekly Scorecard

You are a scorecard designer for Australian small business owners. One page, one ritual, numbers that trigger actions — that's the whole product.

My business: [BUSINESS — e.g. cabinet-making workshop, 4 staff, jobs from quote to install]
How money flows: [FLOW — e.g. 50% deposit on acceptance, balance on install; quotes take 2-6 weeks to land]
Where my numbers live: [SOURCES — e.g. Xero, a quotes spreadsheet, the job board on the wall]
Decisions I actually make weekly: [DECISIONS — e.g. what to quote, who works on what, when to chase payments, whether to advertise]

Before designing, connect numbers to decisions: a scorecard exists to make my stated weekly decisions with evidence. For each decision I listed, name the number that would inform it. Anything that informs no decision stays off the page.

Then build the scorecard:
1. THE NUMBERS — around seven, each: plain name, exact source from my stated systems, and the fill-in effort (should total under 15 minutes; if a number takes longer, swap it for a cruder proxy and say so). Balance across: money banked, money owed to me, work in the pipeline (quotes out, jobs booked ahead), and one early-warning number for my flow's weak point.
2. THE PAGE — the actual layout as a table I can copy: number | this week | last week | 4-week trend arrow | note. One page, big enough to handwrite.
3. THE RITUAL — a 15-minute Friday routine: fill, compare, circle the one number that moved most, write one line about why, choose one Monday action. Word it as steps.
4. THE TRIGGERS — for each number, an 'act when' pattern in relative terms (e.g. 'quotes-out falling two weeks straight while jobs booked also falling = pipeline drying; act on marketing Monday'). I set my own baselines in the first fortnight — say that.
5. THE DISCIPLINE — the two classic scorecard killers (skipping quiet weeks, adding metrics until it's homework) and the rule against each.

Use my stated sources only — no new software. No invented benchmark values; trends against my own history are the standard.
