Roadmap and focus, prioritization by impact and effort, and opportunity cost
In a startup, the roadmap is not a to-do list, it’s an ongoing decision about what you’re not going to work on.

Price packaging is the architecture that transforms your value proposition into a purchasable offer.

Customer credit policy, limits, internal scoring, and temporary alerts
A customer credit policy is the set of rules that decides who you sell to on credit terms, how much you finance them, and what signals trigger control measures before payment default appears.

Time control, leaves and absences: guidelines for optimizing work time management in Galician SMEs
The functioning of a company depends largely on how time is organized: who is available, at what times, with which shifts, and under what conditions.
