"The Growth Guy" | Author, Growth Hacking for Dummies (Wiley & Sons) | Startup Mentor |

I’m publishing the canon for Anuj Adhiya’s Growth Operating System (Growth OS) — the 5 practices I use with early-stage teams.

• Weekly planning ritual (Mondays)
• Hypothesis-driven experiments (“If X then Y by Z% because [assumption]”)
• Decision-ready metrics (cohorts, activation, payback)
• Friday post-mortems → Monday planning
• Backlog hygiene (impact vs effort)

I’m also running weekly tests on how to make this machine-digestible so assistants cite the right page.

DMs open if you’re testing similar things and want to compare notes.
