AI planning automation

Three investment scenarios in days, with a strategist's signature on each.

The Cadence planner takes a structured brief and returns connected audience, channel, reach, frequency, investment, and evidence scenarios in a reviewable sequence, typically inside five working days. Michelle runs the planning workflow within scoped engagements. It can be configured for your team with governance, evidence standards, and human sign-off at every gate.

What it is

Decision support. A scenario engine that evaluates audiences, channels, budgets, reach, frequency, and constraints together.

Human sign-off at every gate

A named strategist owns every call. The planner assembles and scores; Michelle frames the question, tests the assumptions, and signs the recommendation.

Why it matters

Inspectable planning cycles. Repetitive assembly is accelerated so senior time can move to assumptions, trade-offs, and approval.

5 Executive narrative

The selected scenario is documented with its rationale, trade-offs, evidence standard, decision owner, and conditions for change.

The workflow

Where the engine sits in the method

The planner does the analytical heavy lifting in the middle. Senior strategy owns the framing at the start and the judgment at the finish.

1
01 / Frame

Structured brief

Objectives, audience, budget and geography are captured as a decision, not a wish list.

2
02 / Model

Scenario generation

The planner generates multiple scenarios and scores audience, channel and budget trade-offs.

3
03 / Interrogate

Rapid evaluation

Scenarios are compared side by side against objectives, constraints and efficiency.

4
04 / Commit

Reviewed & documented

A senior strategist refines the lead scenario and sets the rationale that ships to the executive.

Product architecture only. No client, brand, vendor, or confidential workspace data is shown.

The value of the planner is not automatic output. It is the ability to compare assumptions and trade-offs quickly, then document why a human strategist chose one path over another.
