STEP 3 — T-7: Send the pack to the board. Honest TLDR. No surprises.

STEP 4 — T-5: Pre-meeting 1:1s — chair + lead investor (catch any concerns before the meeting). The 'don't surprise the chair' rule.

STEP 5 — T-3 to T-1: Board members may have questions — answer in writing or 1:1 calls. Refine the pack if anything material.

STEP 6 — Day-of: Run the meeting per agenda. Time-box rigorously. Decisions documented.

STEP 7 — T+1: Within 24h — minutes + decisions + actions sent to board. Chair signs off.

STEP 8 — T+7: Follow up on actions. Confirm next meeting date.

OUTPUT: Pre-meeting timeline + agenda + pack + 1:1 brief + minutes template + actions tracker.

GUARDRAILS: Honesty over polish in the pack. AU Corporations Act for documented decisions. Plain English.
