Fixed-scope decision sprints for founders who are stuck thinking - not failing execution.
The Promise
You don't leave with advice.
You leave with a system that already works.
Limited capacity
One to two sprints per month.
Sound familiar?
You know what you want to build - but not what matters first.
You've thought about it long enough to be tired, but not long enough to be confident.
Every option feels expensive, risky, or incomplete.
You keep circling the same decision, waiting for clarity that never quite arrives.
If the decision doesn't materially affect your time, money, or focus, this probably isn't the right fit.
A Decision Sprint is not a conversation. It's not a strategy deck. It's a set of working artifacts you can use immediately.
Documenting what you're doing, what you're not doing, and why.
Notion, Airtable, or lightweight tooling built around your decision.
Reusable when the next decision appears.
Actions assigned and distractions removed.
Your future self (or team) can follow without you.
Every sprint is fixed-scope.
You'll know exactly what gets built before we start.
You complete a short intake designed to surface the actual decision, not just the symptoms.
We define success, lock constraints, and identify what's truly blocking progress.
I build the system that makes the decision operational - using proven templates, adapted to your situation.
You leave with clarity, ownership, and a system you can run without me.
Timeline: Most sprints complete in 2-3 weeks.
Get StartedThe Method
I built this method for founders who don't think in straight lines - including myself. It runs on four moves:
We identify the real friction - not the surface problem you've been circling.
We define what actually matters and lock constraints so everything isn't equally important.
We cut options aggressively until the decision becomes obvious.
We turn the decision into a system you can operate, not a plan you'll ignore.
This isn't theory. It's the same framework I use to build companies under real-world constraints.
Case Study
When I started Authentic Mess Studios, the problem wasn't ideation - it was prioritization under constraint. I had limited time, limited energy, and dozens of competing options.
So I applied the same decision framework I now use with clients.
Every decision here had real cost - time, money, and opportunity - so guessing wasn't an option.
Instead of a business plan, I built:
The result wasn't certainty.
It was momentum - and a system that still runs today.
Good Fit
Not a Fit
Investment
Decision Sprints are fixed-scope engagements. No retainers. No scope creep.

About
I'm Matt Morrison - a systems builder who specializes in decision-making under constraint.
I've spent years designing operational and sales systems, writing internal playbooks, and building tools that turn ambiguity into execution. I'm currently building Authentic Mess Studios alongside a full-time role, which means every system I use has to work in imperfect conditions.
Built from real operational systems used in live businesses - not theory.
I don't do retainers. I don't sell motivation.
I help you make the call - and build the system that makes it stick.
