Demand Compass

The 90-day install

Narrow and working beats wide and broken. One sensor, one score, one play, one story, in ninety days.

Day oneOne definition, in writing
Days 1-30One sensor
Days 31-60Two axes + one play
Days 61-90One board story

1What it is

The 90-day install is the rollout plan for the Demand Compass. It is a working slice of the real system in one quarter, not the whole machine at once.

2What problem it solves

It fixes the year-long-build objection that kills adoption. You do not sell the team a rebuild; you show one small win fast, then compound it.

3How it works

Day one is not a sensor: sales and marketing agree, in writing, on one definition of a workable lead. Days 1-30: turn on one sensor, web de-anonymization first, and see named accounts on your own site. Days 31-60: stand up the two axes, rough and auditable, and run one quadrant play end to end. Days 61-90: make it legible upstairs, draw a couple of accounts as timelines for the board.

4When to use it

Use this when you are adopting the Compass for the first time, or when a past big-bang RevOps project stalled. Start narrow on purpose.

5Example

At ninety days you have one sensor, a rough two-axis score, one quadrant play producing replies, and one board-ready story, a working slice that funds its own expansion.

6Relationship to other concepts

The install stands up the scoring engine and the first play, and it instruments the dark channel. It is how the system gets built without a year-long project.
