Goals
What do you want, and why?
One sentence everything else hangs off.
The framework
Always know
where things stand.
Every decision, finding, and next step stays with the goal it belongs to. Step away for a week or hand it to an agent, and the picture is still clear.
Start with a goalThe system
Stop losing track.
Notes in one app, tasks in another, decisions buried in a chat. GRREAT files all of it under the goal it belongs to, so picking it back up takes a minute, not an afternoon.
Nothing is locked into a sequence. A finding can change the plan; a review can change the goal. The picture stays current because it moves with you.
The parts
What GRREAT
keeps for you.
See it in the example
Research
What do you know so far?
Links, notes, and findings you would otherwise lose in tabs and chats.
Roadmap
What is the plan?
The steps from here to done, easy to change when things change.
Execution
What got done?
A running log of the work, yours or your agent’s.
Analysis
What is working?
A quick look back so the next step beats the last.
Time
How long did it take?
Real hours, so your next estimate is honest.
A living system
Act. Learn.
Choose again.
Every pass leaves a trail. Come back after a week away and you’ll know where you left off and what to do next.
