Static sample
A sample Rail Logic mini-rail.
This is a fixed example of how a Rail Logic rail can look. Scroll down to try it on your own scenario.
Example scenario:
You’re updating the exec team on a struggling initiative. Results are mixed: some green shoots, but key metrics are behind plan.
Rails
- Non-negotiables: clear ask, no sugar-coating, retain ownership of the decision.
- Trade zone: scope, timelines, and resourcing can flex; core strategy cannot swing every quarter.
- Failure mode: vague update that leads to hallway decisions instead of a crisp go / adjust / stop call.
Opening
“I want to be direct: we’re behind the original plan, but we’ve learned enough to make a clean decision on whether to double-down, adjust, or stop.”
If they push
“If the concern is burn vs. signal, here’s the smallest version of this initiative that still answers the strategic question in the next 60 days.”
How you close
“What I’m recommending is option B: narrow the scope, extend the runway, and commit to a clear yes/no checkpoint by the end of next quarter.”
