30 · 60 · 90 day rollout

This mirrors the exponential model: launch leads, deepen local units, lock neighborhood density.

First 30 days — launch lead teams

Goal: credible county (or region) lead triads operating weekly huddles.

Weeks 1–2

  • Recruit three coordinators per lead unit; train on lane pages in this playbook.
  • Host first weekly huddle; assign each lane a public task due before next huddle.
  • Establish reporting path to campaign coordinator.

Weeks 3–4

  • Execute first coordinated statewide/countywide moment (digital + optional live).
  • Spin out first child triads where geography demands it.

Exit criteria: named coordinators, weekly huddle rhythm, first measurable outputs in each lane.

60 days — expand to city and precinct teams

Goal: local units cover meaningful population slices without central bottleneck.

  • Each county triad has at least one city/town child triad with clear turf.
  • Precinct teams begin where election geography matters most (per HQ priorities).
  • Relational Power of 5 sprints become normalized, not heroic.

Exit criteria: fractal map shows 2+ layers active in majority of target counties.

90 days — neighborhood density + coordinated events

Goal: repeated presence in walkable zones and repeatable event formats.

  • Block/neighborhood teams operating in priority zones.
  • Event + social + relational packages run as a single monthly cycle.
  • Metrics reviewed honestly; weak formats cut.

Exit criteria: stable weekly motion, documented hand-offs, recruitment pipeline for new coordinators.

If you are behind pace

  • Shrink geography until throughput returns.
  • Cut lowest-yield activity before asking for more volunteer hours.
