Runs the annual or quarterly planning cycle together with the people plan that pays for it, as one reconciled document: a dated calendar with a named owner per step, a top-down envelope meeting a bottom-up build with the gap closed by revisiting the bets rather than cutting proportionally, headcount sequenced by the month each hire produces output rather than the month a manager wants them, fully loaded cost and ramp per role, a monthly cost curve, runway under a downside, and a hiring pause trigger written before it is needed.
