Cash Action Board - 2026-05-13

Purpose: turn cash pressure into external action loops before starting another speculative build or leaning harder on MIS/trading.

Guardrail

No new dashboard, repo, trade size increase, or speculative automation counts as progress unless it moves one of these cash loops.

Board

Priority	Source candidate	Cash target	Owner	Next action	Waiting reason	Follow-up trigger	Risk / guardrail	Done condition
1	Eden Gardens invoice #20028	Confirm current balance	Sam	Verify invoice status, last payment conversation, and who can approve payment. Send one concise collection/follow-up note if still open.	Need current truth before outreach.	Same day after status check.	Keep tone relationship-safe; do not overstate facts.	Payment date confirmed or written blocker logged.
2	Transportation / CM invoice lane	Confirm open A/R	Sam	Pull active invoices and identify the three easiest-to-collect balances.	Need invoice list and payer contact.	24 hours after list is pulled.	No messy mass outreach; one clean follow-up per account.	At least one payer response or payment commitment.
3	Hook Street Services - Operating Map Sprint	First paid pilot	Sam	Send `systems.html` to one warm business owner with a short note: "I can map the business, receivables, follow-up, and next actions in a small sprint."	Needs first warm target.	48 hours after send.	Do not offer a huge custom build first.	Intro call booked or clear no.
4	Hook Street Services - Revenue Loop Sprint	First paid pilot	Sam	Use the car-leasing example as the first script: lead source map, follow-up tracker, referral prompt, weekly scorecard.	Need prospect name and current lead process.	After first call or reply.	Price to one closed deal value, not hours.	Prospect agrees to pilot scope or gives objection to improve offer.
5	Youth Money Map	First family pilot	Sam	Offer 1:1 or small cohort beta to one parent: two sessions plus parent-controlled workbook.	Need first parent/referral list.	72 hours after first ask.	No account access, no investment advice, no custody.	First beta family selected and session date held.
6	STR / bookings	Near-term booking or payout clarity	Sam / Mildred	Check upcoming bookings, payout dates, cleaning/vendor obligations, and any open guest issue that blocks cash.	Need current booking calendar and vendor queue.	Daily until next payout clarity.	Do not expose personal finance details to vendors/VA.	Next 14-day payout and obligation picture is known.
7	Expense reduction / deferment	Protect bank balance	Sam	Identify bills due in the next 14 days that can be delayed, split, or paid from the correct account without bounce risk.	Needs obligations sheet final truth.	Before each due-date cluster.	Must not harm critical services, credit, or vendor trust.	Due-date plan locked for next 14 days.

Simple outreach prompts

Operating Map Sprint

I am testing a small Hook Street Services sprint for owner-operated businesses. The point is simple: map receivables, follow-up, obligations, vendors, and next actions in one usable Google Sheet so the owner knows what to do this week. If that would help, I can do a short pilot and keep it practical.

Revenue Loop Sprint

If the real bottleneck is more leads and better follow-up, I can map where leads come from, what happens after each conversation, and what follow-up is being missed. The deliverable is a simple revenue loop: lead source, next action, date, owner, and scorecard.

Youth Money Map

I am testing a youth financial literacy pilot for bar/bat mitzvah age kids and parents. It is not account access or investment advice. It is a parent-controlled money map: saving, spending, giving, goals, and check-ins. I am starting with either 1:1 or a small cohort.
