The work, not the deck.

Putting The work, not the deck into practice

This page focuses on The work, not the deck. Start with its published information and the decision you need to make. Identify which details apply to your practice and which require further checking. Follow the relevant linked resources for implementation steps, source material or the current contact route, and keep your own constraints visible when turning the information into a brief.

Choose the resource that matches your next decision

Begin with the question you need to answer, then choose the most appropriate destination in this collection. A guide explains a method, a checklist supports a repeatable review, a calculator explores assumptions and a case file documents a particular engagement. Reading them as interchangeable resources can create confusion. If you need to brief a supplier, start with the relevant service or framework. If you need to assess evidence, start with the source reports and the limits stated alongside the example.

Use the collection to narrow the investigation rather than adding every possible task to a marketing plan. Identify the stage where progress is blocked: discovery, understanding the service, making contact, arranging an appointment or following up. Choose a resource that addresses that stage and keep a short note of the evidence you need. A focused review is easier to act on than a long list of unrelated recommendations, particularly when clinical approvals and operational changes involve different people.
