Growth Operations Command Center

This is a marketing plan template for teams that need to operate the plan, not present it once. The Growth Operations Command Center connects goals, channel bets, budget, campaigns, funnel performance, CAC, ROI, lead response, experiments, content, evidence and weekly decisions in one versioned system.

It is deliberately broader than SEO or social media. Search, email, partnerships, referral, events, community, outbound, local and paid activity can use the same definitions and decision cadence. The purpose is not to make every channel look busy; it is to show which work creates qualified outcomes and what the team should change next.

What this command center helps you control

• Choose a small portfolio of 90-day channel bets tied to one business outcome and capacity limit.
• Reconcile planned, committed and actual spend with campaign revenue and gross margin.
• Keep funnel definitions, attribution rules, CAC, LTV, ROI and break-even logic visible.
• Measure lead-response operations before increasing demand the team cannot handle.
• Pre-register experiments and convert weekly evidence into continue, change, stop, scale or investigate decisions.

Exactly what is included

Growth Operations Command Center — 17 tabs

The master XLSX includes a READ ME plus Setup, Executive Dashboard, Goals, Channel Plan, Budget, Campaign Tracker, Funnel, CAC LTV ROI, Lead Response SLA, Experiment Backlog, UTM Registry, Asset Register, Calendar, Weekly Review, Monthly Review and Data Dictionary.

The dashboard is formula-only: spend, attributed revenue, gross profit, ROI, ROAS, customers, CAC and qualified leads come from the source sheets. Formula cells are protected against accidental typing, with the non-security protection password documented in the workbook.

A completed 90-day operating example

The sample connects £3,000 spend, £12,000 attributed revenue, £7,800 gross profit, 160% profit-based ROI, 4× ROAS, 16 customers, £187.50 CAC and 40 qualified leads to the campaign and funnel records that produce them. It exists to make the formulas auditable, not to forecast your result.

Three editable Word templates

• Campaign Decision Brief: audience job, offer, outcome, evidence floor, guardrail and stop rule.
• 90-Day Growth Plan: constrained channel portfolio, owners, phases, measurement and final decision.
• Weekly Growth Review: a 30-minute evidence-to-action agenda with named decisions and follow-up.

Measurement & Attribution Guide — 10 pages

The PDF explains periods, grains, qualified-lead definitions, revenue versus gross profit, CAC, ROAS, profit-based ROI, LTV cautions, break-even, attribution limits, UTM governance, evidence quality and decision rules.

The ZIP also contains an eight-page START HERE guide, licence, changelog, manifest and SHA-256 checksums. There are 11 files in the versioned archive.

How to use it

1. Set one 90-day outcome, baseline, primary measure, owner and evidence source.
2. Select no more than three primary channel bets and record why each fits the audience and sales motion.
3. Agree definitions and attribution rules before entering campaign outcomes.
4. Update source sheets during the week; review the formula dashboard instead of typing summary numbers.
5. End each weekly review with one owned decision and each month with a reconciled portfolio choice.

Who it is for

• Founder-led companies that have outgrown disconnected marketing spreadsheets.
• A growth or marketing lead coordinating several channels with limited budget and delivery capacity.
• An agency or in-house team that needs common definitions across campaign, sales and finance records.
• A service business that wants to connect lead generation with response time, qualification and capacity.

Who should not buy it

Do not buy it for an assured growth outcome, automatic attribution, live platform integrations or a finished plan for your market. The workbook does not pull data from ad platforms or invent demand forecasts. It is an editable operating system that becomes useful when the team enters consistent evidence and makes decisions from it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an SEO spreadsheet?

No. Search is one possible channel. The system supports paid, email, social, partnerships, referral, events, community, outbound, local and other channels with the same economic and decision controls.

Does the dashboard connect to advertising platforms?

No. Version 1.0.0 is an owned XLSX system with no API dependency or recurring software fee. You enter or import reconciled source data.

What is the ROI formula?

Profit-based ROI is gross profit from attributed revenue minus marketing spend, divided by marketing spend. ROAS remains a separate revenue-to-spend measure.

Can I change the formulas?

Yes. The sheets are editable. Formula protection prevents accidental typing and can be removed with the documented password. Re-test any formula you intentionally change.

Can a consultant use it with my team?

Yes, when the files are used for the purchasing legal entity. Resale, redistribution and using one purchase as a template library for unrelated clients are outside the licence.

Does the product include future updates?

The purchase is for the version shown. The changelog makes revisions explicit; no subscription or unspecified future feature is included.
