You don’t lose because you’re slow. You lose because execution is inconsistent. The fix is a simple rhythm with the same artifacts every week.

A simple weekly cadence

• Monday (30 min): status, blockers, decisions
• Mid-week (async): compliance check + document gaps
• Friday (20 min): readiness score + next week’s owners

Three non-negotiable artifacts

• Bid schedule + owners
• Compliance checklist
• Risk register (top 10, updated weekly)

Tip: Keep meetings short; let the artifacts do the heavy lifting.
