I wrote everything down for you.
Your Room 202 playbook is ready.
It's yours to keep.
Need anything? Just ask me.
Welcome to The Strategy War Room. Your scoreboard is lit for the first time tonight — with your real numbers. The job in this room is to interpret what's on it, set the strategy, and show you what a three-season dynasty looks like from the owner's chair.
The Standard
Your health plan is one of your biggest players. Tonight, it finally gets a real spot in the war room.
Bring one document to start. If the analysis needs more evidence, we’ll tell you the next best file. One lit scoreboard. The owner’s view, on the record.
Four tiles. Plain English. No jargon. This is the war-room view of your health plan. Your scoreboard starts with one document: your most recent group health plan renewal or your broker’s options or proposal. A monthly billing statement may be added later as an optional refinement.
What you're paying your health plan to wear your jersey this year. The first number every owner should know cold.
Who's carrying the weight. The contribution structure determines retention, recruiting, and tax efficiency — all at once.
Your real cost per roster spot. The number that lets you benchmark against any company in your league.
Where the money is leaking. Named, dollarized, sourced. The verdict number that drives every other decision in this stadium.
I won't rush you. I won't hype you. I'll walk you through the scoreboard one tile at a time, then ask you the better question.
Total annual spend in fifth-grader language. Premiums, plus the things hiding inside premiums. The number you carry into every board meeting from this day forward.
Employer/employee split. Contribution strategy is the cap-space conversation. It's also the retention conversation, the recruiting conversation, and the tax conversation — all in one move.
PEPM in plain English. Once you know your PEPM, you can compare yourself to any company in your league. Without it, every conversation is a guess.
Hidden waste, named and dollarized. Pulled directly from the documents you uploaded. No assumptions. No estimates. Real numbers.
When you ask me a question, I'll often redirect: 'Good question — but this is the question you should be asking me.' That's not deflection. That's coaching.
Every dollar of waste we remove is a dollar of EBITDA your company keeps. Dollar for dollar. We'll go deeper on that in a higher floor — The EBITDA Engine. For now — know that the math is in your favor.
— The Strategy War Room · Dynasty Stadium
Three seasons forward. Not a forecast — a target. We set the standard tonight. The rest of the stadium executes it.
Stop the bleed. Get the contract terms right. Install the transparency triangle. The first season is about ending the train wreck.
Recover the waste. Reinvest the recovered dollars into the roster — better benefits, better people, better competitive position.
Recurring EBITDA improvement. Enterprise value compounding. A health plan that's a competitive weapon, not a fixed cost you dread every fall.
The Verdict
What kind of benefits team do you want on the field in three seasons — and what numbers would feel like a win for you and your people?
