The method

Close the business loop

Distinguish the user, payer, and party bearing delivery costs.

When to use it

  • You are responsible for the overall business outcome.

Ask yourself

  • People use it. Why does it not make money?

Put it into action

  • Map the exchange from demand through production, sales, and delivery. Find where value goes unpaid or costs absorb the revenue.

Keep these limits in mind

  • Overall responsibility does not remove specialist roles. Every component need not profit immediately, but accumulated knowledge, teamwork, and trust still need testable evidence.
