SNL $5M
SNL Strategic Framework · Adopted June 2026
SuperNova Leap will reach $5M ARR by 2031 — funded entirely by its own revenue.
$800K is enough. We will not borrow. We will not raise.
Three families draw $10K/month each. The business funds the lives it exists to serve.
This is not a forecast. This is a declaration.
1. The Three Pillars
$2.5M
Pillar 1 — Priority

4. Current Overhead & Tax Estimate — Owned by John
John owns this section. He is the QuickBooks expert. All figures below to be validated and updated by John.
| Item | Estimated Annual | % of $800K | Status |
| Family Draws (3 × $10K/mo) | $360,000 | 45% | Fixed |
| Ops & Admin (insur., rent, software, phones, travel) | $??? | — | John to Populate |
| Class Tracking (QuickBooks — tax allocation on books) | $??? | — | John to Populate |
| Estimated Tax Obligation (~25-30% of net) | $??? | — | John to Populate |
| True Surplus Available for Growth | $??? | — | Auto-calc After Above |
Action: John pulls last 12 months of P&L from QuickBooks and populates within 14 days.
5. Growth Sequence — How $800K Becomes $5M
What Each Term Means
| Term | Definition |
| Pricing Restructure | Review every client engagement against market rates for 38-year ULT expertise. Raise prices where SNL is undercharging. Immediate revenue uplift, zero cost. John leads client conversations. |
| Retainer | Ongoing monthly advisory relationship. Client pays a fixed fee for access to SNL expertise — troubleshooting, compliance guidance, operational consulting. Not hourly. Not project-based. Recurring revenue. |
| Audit Package | Structured compliance and operational audit of a client's ULT facility. Delivers a written report with findings, risks, and recommendations. Sold as a fixed-price engagement. Leads naturally into retainers. |
| Content Engine | LinkedIn articles, white papers, and industry publications that demonstrate the 38-year knowledge moat. Builds inbound lead flow over time. Manny writes with AI assistance. $0 marginal cost. |
| Training Product | Packaged educational offering — could be an online course, a workshop series, or a certification program — teaching ULT best practices to facility operators. Scales without Wil or John's time per sale. |

6. Phase 1 — Next 90 Days ($0 new cost)
| # | Promise | Owner | By-When | Exit Condition | Cost |
| 1 | Pricing restructure analysis | Manny | 45 days | Current vs. market. Revenue impact modeled. John + Wil reviewed. | $0 |
| 2 | New pricing implemented | John + Manny | 90 days | Client communications sent. New rates effective. No core client lost. | $0 |
| 3 | First 5 client conversations | John, Manny, Wil | 30 days | Scheduled. Listening — not selling. What do they need? What would they pay? What is the real demand? | $0 |
| 4 | Client offer shaped from demand | Manny + Wil | 90 days | One-page offer derived from real conversations. Offer type (retainer, audit, or other) determined by demand signals. First client identified. | $0 |

7. Cadence — Reliability Reviews (John's client spreadsheet integrated)
| Cadence | What Happens | Who | The Question | Date |
| Weekly | For every active promise: kept? broken with cleanup? at risk? No reasons. No excuses. John's client spreadsheet reviewed — any client at risk? | Manny reviews portal → surfaces as needed | Where is your word? | Every Monday |
| Monthly | Pipeline review against created future. Are we on 44% pace? John presents client spreadsheet — renewals, expansions, at-risk accounts. | Manny + John + Wil | What does the future require now? | TBD |
| Quarterly | Full strategy review. Pillars still right? Promises in integrity? Future still calling us forth? John presents full financials from QuickBooks. | Manny + John + Wil | Are we still living into this? | TBD |
| Annually | Revenue checkpoint vs. milestone. Governance alignment. Full financial audit. | Manny + John + Wil | Is the word being kept? | TBD |
John's client spreadsheet — the master list of all active clients, revenue per client, renewal dates, and expansion opportunities — is the reference document for all reliability reviews. It lives in QuickBooks and is surfaced at every review.
8. What Will Try to Kill This
"The industry doesn't move that fast"
Payoff: Being right. Safety of the known.
Cost: $5M dies. The default future wins.
"I'm the only one who can do this"
Payoff: Being essential.
Cost: Nothing scales. Wil stays the bottleneck.
"We can't charge that much"
Payoff: Avoiding the discomfort of hearing "no."
Cost: Surplus never materializes. Growth starves.
"Let's be realistic"
Payoff: Comfort. No risk of public failure.
Cost: $1.2M and called it success.
"We need more money to grow"
Payoff: Justifying inaction.
Cost: $800K
is enough. We just have to sell before we build.
9. The John & Wil Conversation
"We've agreed to organic growth. We've agreed the business funds our families — $10K/month each, flat as we grow. Here's what that looks like as a created future: $5M in 5 years, funded by what we already have. The draws are sacred. The growth is funded by what remains. This framework is what that looks like — the pillars, the promises, the cadence. I'm not asking anyone to believe it's realistic. I'm asking: is this a future you are willing to live into? If you are, we build it. If you're not, say so — and we'll be complete about what's possible from here."
Note: This is an invitation — not a persuasion. They must be free to decline. Force is the negation of power.
10. This Portal — What It Does
| Function | Description |
| Conversational Domain | The single source of truth for the SNL $5M strategy. Not a status report. The place where the declaration lives and promises are visible — every time Manny, John, and Wil log in. |
| Declaration Front & Center | $5M by 2031 — visible on every login for Manny, John, and Wil. The created future is the first thing they see. |
| Live Promise Tracking | Every Phase 1 promise with owner, by-when, and status. Updated weekly. |
| Revenue Tracker | Current ARR vs. milestone. Draw visibility. Surplus calculation. |
| Reliability Review Log | Weekly: "Where is your word?" entries visible. Broken words surfaced — not hidden. Cleanup protocol tracked. John's client spreadsheet integrated. |
| Racket Watch | The five rackets visible. Any partner can call a racket when they see it. |
11. Operating Principles
- The created future, not the default. We operate from $5M looking back — not from $800K projecting forward.
- Integrity is workability. Broken words are technical failures to repair — not personal failures to hide.
- No one grades their own homework. The checker is always separate from the maker.
- Requests are declinable. Force is the negation of power. A real request can be declined.
- Sell before building. Demand shapes the offer. Nothing is built on speculation.
- Context is decisive. This portal IS the context. Protect it. Keep it current. Let it call us forth.
