Playbook for Creating Playbooks
Never send a document in Arial. That is one of the BlueprintOS maxims, and Bradley Hamner explains why a rule about fonts ends up shaping company culture. In this solo episode of Above The Business, Bradley walks through the Playbook for Creating Playbooks, the template behind every BlueprintOS document. He shares his exact standards, including Verdana bold at size 26 for titles and 0.5 margins all around. He also shows how copying one saved template, naming it, and filing it in the right playbook folder takes about 15 seconds. He covers why he loads the standard into Claude as a skill, and how consistent documentation teaches a team to follow the sales process, onboard customers the same way every time, and think in systems.
