A Standalone 30-Day Action Framework Week 1: define the real problem and collect baseline evidence.
Week 2: test one limited intervention.
Week 3: gather feedback from affected people.
Week 4: compare results and decide whether to continue, revise or stop. The expected outcome is: An adaptable discussion framework for personal and business finance separation, including priority actions, key risks, responsible ownership, and indicators of meaningful progress. The review should measure the outcome, not only whether activities occurred.
