The Nomad AI Operator One‑Pager Kit

Fill‑in‑the‑blanks Notion canvas + Google Sheets KPI/Runway tracker for AI agencies and micro‑SaaS you can run from your phone. Preloaded with LTV:CAC and payback goals, margin targets, QA wall cadence, Lisbon Test, Visa Run Revenue, and three worked examples.

Use this kit to compress your AI business into a one‑page Notion canvas and a weekly KPI/Runway Google Sheet you can run from your phone. Block 60 minutes to fill it today, then set a Monday 12‑minute review to keep it honest. All defaults are starting points—override them for your model.

Lisbon Test [CHECK]

Use these quick constraints to avoid brittle plans while you travel.

Pass if all are true:

  • Mobile‑first: I can review KPIs and QA scores on my phone in < 3 minutes. [PASS/FAIL]
  • Offline‑tolerant: Critical delivery steps have a no‑Wi‑Fi fallback. List: [FALLBACK 1], [FALLBACK 2]. [PASS/FAIL]
  • Async‑clean: All handoffs have an owner, a due time, and a definition of done. [PASS/FAIL]
  • Cost‑steady: Tool + infra spend ≤ [X%] of MRR with alerts on spikes. [PASS/FAIL]
  • Single source: One Notion page links everything needed to run the week. [PASS/FAIL]

If any fail, add a mitigation in the canvas before moving on.

Visa Run Revenue [CALC]

Answer the fields, then compute your comfort MRR to cover living + travel buffers.

Inputs:

  • Base City: [CITY]
  • Monthly Living Cost (housing/food/transport): $[BASE_COST]
  • Cowork/Connectivity: $[COWORK_WIFI]
  • Tools/Infra (AI/API/Workspace): $[TOOLS_COST]
  • Visa Run Frequency: every [N] months
  • Average Visa Run Cost (flights + 5 days lodging): $[VISA_RUN_COST]
  • Buffer: [BUFFER %] (recommend 20%)

Outputs:

  • Monthly Visa Run Amortization: = $[VISA_RUN_COST] / [N]
  • Comfort MRR: = ([BASE_COST] + [COWORK_WIFI] + [TOOLS_COST] + ([VISA_RUN_COST]/[N])) × (1 + [BUFFER %])

Paste this into your Notion canvas and your Sheet. Example formula (Sheets):

=ROUND( (B2+B3+B4+(B5/B6))*(1+B7), 0 )

Where: B2=Base Cost, B3=Cowork, B4=Tools, B5=Visa Run Cost, B6=Months Between Runs, B7=Buffer %.

Default Targets [STARTING POINTS]

Target defaults you can override:

  • LTV:CAC goal: > 3.0
  • CAC payback goal: ≤ 12 months
  • Delivery margin: 50–65% (AI‑assisted agency) or 75–85% (pure self‑serve SaaS)
  • Self‑serve time‑to‑value: < 5 minutes to a tangible preview
  • QA wall: LLM‑judge on 100% of jobs + weekly golden‑set replay + 5–10% human sampling of high‑impact work

Note: Treat these as guardrails for weekly course‑correction, not annual targets.

Monday KPI Review [RITUAL]

Block 12 minutes every Monday. Open the Dashboard tab on your phone.

Prompts:

  1. Are we above/below Comfort MRR? If below, what one lever moves this by Friday? [ACTION]
  2. LTV:CAC this month and trend vs. last month? [VALUE] → If <3, cut spend, fix conversion, or raise price.
  3. CAC payback months? [VALUE] → If >12, reduce CAC or increase gross profit per customer.
  4. QA pass rate last week? [VALUE%] → If <90%, fix the failing prompt/runbook before new spend.
  5. Self‑serve TTV p50? [VALUE MINUTES] → If >5, remove one step or front‑load a demo result.
  6. Runway months at current burn? [VALUE] → If <6, freeze non‑critical spend this week.
  7. One risk flagged (stack, people, travel) and the mitigation due date. [RISK → DATE]

End with one commitment for the week. Log it in the Sheet under Notes.

  • Columns: Base Cost ($) | Cowork/Wi‑Fi ($) | Tools/Infra ($) | Visa Run Cost ($) | Months Between Runs | Buffer % | Comfort MRR ($)
  • Formula:
Comfort MRR = ROUND( (Base + Cowork + Tools + (Visa/Months))* (1+Buffer), 0 )

Policy defaults:

  • LLM‑as‑Judge on 100% of jobs → store score + rationale
