Practical program

The KeytellerMethod

A 12-week founder-led program prescribed after Keyteller Discovery when the venture needs an evidence-to-execution system. Cohort format, availability, and fees are confirmed after the diagnostic conversation.

Curriculum

Evidence, decisions, execution

Four connected cycles move from a question worth testing to a plan your team can run. The artifact from one phase becomes the input to the next.

Phase 1: Evidence (Weeks 1-3)

Define the decision worth testing

Focus: make the problem, customer, and critical assumptions specific enough to test.

Output

A problem thesis, evidence plan, and decision log.

Key action

Run focused customer and market evidence-gathering cycles.

Phase 2: Model (Weeks 4-6)

Turn evidence into an offer and operating model

Focus: decide what the venture will deliver, for whom, and how the work can operate.

Output

A defined offer, model assumptions, and delivery sequence.

Key action

Map the value exchange, constraints, and initial operating choices.

Phase 3: Pilot (Weeks 7-9)

Run a controlled market test

Focus: put the smallest useful version in front of real users and learn from the response.

Output

Pilot findings, revised assumptions, and next decisions.

Key action

Design, run, and review a bounded test with real market feedback.

Phase 4: Operating System (Weeks 10-12)

Install the next 90 days of execution

Focus: convert what you learned into priorities, owners, measures, and a review rhythm.

Output

A 90-day plan, scorecard, and operating cadence.

Key action

Set the decisions, measures, and accountabilities that govern the next stage.

Format

How the work happens

This is a working program, not a course library. The format gives founders a way to make decisions while the venture is still moving.

Working sessions

Structured sessions to surface the decision, test the evidence, and decide the next move.

Founder review

A regular review point for progress, blockers, and decisions that cannot wait for the next phase.

Cohort perspective

Where the cohort format applies, founders test their thinking against peers working through real constraints.

Applied work

The work is your venture: evidence, choices, and operating artifacts - not abstract coursework.

Fit

Who this is for

The Method is strongest when the team is ready to exchange vague ambition for testable choices and an explicit operating rhythm.

  • A founder or operating lead with an active venture or defined direction
  • A real decision, constraint, or opportunity worth working through
  • Willingness to bring customer evidence, operating data, and open questions into the work
  • Capacity to complete the agreed work between sessions and adapt when evidence changes the plan

Bring the decision that is blocking progress

Discovery determines whether the Method is the right prescription, what the work should centre on, and the smallest useful next step.
