Brian Balfour and Casey Winters and Andrew Chan wrote a lot about this.
Highly recommend anybody looking into.
My next favorite gray uh growth framework is actually written by you, Lenny and Dan, which is a race car framework.
Everybody has a really hard time often thinking about what are all of them parts of growth initiatives and which are long term, what are short term, how much are they gonna actually
