• 01 · What leads to what

  Nobody else sells this. Which first visit predicts a return. Which offer buys loyalty vs a one-night stand. Rates that stay quiet until the sample can carry them.

  loop 09

  What leads to what

  replaces: nothing — no incumbent offers this at all

  Relates non-numeric facts to outcomes: which first service, and which staff member, actually predicts a second visit. Every rate is tested against the house average, with the margin widened for the number of groups examined — so most months it says very little, on purpose.

  Do this 2

  • These are still coming, so this is a conversation at the chair rather than a win-back campaign.
  • A rush is only worth staffing for if the people in it return. This says whether yours do.

• 02 · The month, against the plan

  Goals you set — never numbers we invent. Pace against your own months. Misses named before the quarter ends with a shrug.

  loop 10

  The month, against the plan

  replaces: month-end totals, comparisons, and where the goals stand

  Totals, last month, year to date, and what shifted underneath a flat total. Goals come from a file the owner writes — the one number this tool will not invent.

Same engine, other questions — end of day, pre-shift, gaps, portfolio. Each opens as its own sheet. Sample data throughout; generated 2026-08-05.

• loop 01

  End of day — a salon

  Whether the day was actually normal, who was new, and who has quietly stopped coming — the three things the takings total cannot tell you.

  End of day — a cafe

  The same loop on a café's checks. Every noun changed — guests, menu items, service — and not one line of the engine did.

  Pre-shift brief

  Who to greet by name, whose birthday it nearly is, and who is a few points from a reward they do not know they have earned.

  Gaps to fill

  The only loop that makes money rather than saving time. Ranked by each person's own rhythm, not by who is most memorable.

  All locations

  Silence by default: four sites in, two named. Each judged against its own Tuesdays, never against the chain average.
