The consultant's leverage tool.
LADLE drafts the framework you'd otherwise whiteboard, writes the client-facing memo, produces the proposal narrative, and cleans up the deck copy. Judgment stays yours; the writing goes fast.
The 2×2 you'd otherwise draw on a napkin.
Describe the decision or landscape. Get a framework structured usefully, plus what the axes should be. Not a substitute for your thinking; a scaffold for it.
The one-page memo that makes the recommendation stick.
Paste your reasoning + the recommendation. Get a memo structured for how executives read: recommendation up top, reasoning in the middle, next steps at the bottom.
The proposal that closes.
Draft the SOW: scope, timeline, deliverables, price, terms. In the register the client expects. Edit for their specific voice.
Consulting is billable-hour writing. LADLE 3-4x's the writing throughput. $8/mo of your subscription is earmarked into a meal fund on the road to a real partnership with the hunger-relief charity we select.
Questions.
Anonymize aggressively. Client names, revenue figures, unannounced strategies — don't paste. General fact patterns and abstracted problem shapes are fine.
