You own the relationship, and the retention.

A great AM at Amplio isn't reactive. They spot problems before the client sees them, propose a fix, and log the outcome so everyone gets smarter.

/05 · CLIENT ONBOARDING

48 hours. No fumbling.

The single biggest retention signal is how smooth onboarding felt. These are the exact steps, in order.

HOUR 00 · KICKOFF

Create client project in Claude

Run "New client: [name]". Claude scaffolds the space — folder tree, _overview.md, recommendations tracker, data context.

HOUR 04 · ACCESS

client-access-checklist

GA4 admin, GTM publish, Google Ads MCC, Ads grants, Search Console, Stape — documented in correspondence/.

HOUR 12 · DATA CONTEXT

Connect via IP Amplio

client-data-context skill auto discovers sources through IP Amplio, maps schemas, pulls baselines. Manual template as fallback.

HOUR 24 · TRACKING AUDIT

website-scraping-scorer

Baseline current tracking. Note every gap. Score the implementation. Pair with analytics-tracking skill.

HOUR 48 · IMPLEMENT

Consent v2 · sGTM · EC

Follow Stape checklists, Consent Mode v2 guide, Shopify tracking SOP. Wire the Managed AI interface if on that tier.

HOUR 72 · HANDOFF

First baseline report

Use monthly-report-template. Schedule recurring check in. Move Attio stage → Steady.

/06 · MONTHLY REPORTING
/THE REPORT IS THE PRODUCT

If clients see one deliverable a month, it's this one.

/NON-NEGOTIABLES
  • Always use the template. monthly-report-template.md. Don't improvise structure.
  • Numbers first, narrative second. Lead with KPIs, then explain why.
  • At least one recommendation. Logged in recommendations-tracker.md. Every month.
  • Consent-impact always mentioned. 34% sessions hidden by consent — remind them what we're recovering.
  • On brand. Run marketing:brand-review on copy before it goes out.
/REPORT ANATOMY
  • Executive Summary — 3 bullets, outcome-first.
  • Performance — ROAS / CPA / Conversions vs last period. Channel breakdown.
  • Tracking Health — Consent coverage, conversions hidden vs recovered, anomalies.
  • Recommendations — Each one logged in the tracker with a pattern ID.
  • Next Month — What we'll ship. What we need from them.

Proof points to weave in: +37% avg ROAS lift · 48h full setup · –90% data back and forth · 20 to 40% lost conversions recovered · 34% sessions hidden by consent.

/07 · CLIENT HEALTH SCORING

Score every client. Every month.

Two scoring models — retainer clients and project based clients. Same 0 to 100 scale, different drivers. Below 70 triggers an alert under either model.

/RETAINER MODEL · STARTER & GROWTH
  • Engagement — response time, calls, report reads
  • MRR direction — Maintained to Managed pathway
  • Tracking uptime — regressions caught, ticket SLA
  • Sentiment + data quality — signals, ROAS trend

Applies to: Certify, Odisei, any Maintained or Managed client.

/PROJECT MODEL · ONE TIME & AD HOC
  • Delivery velocity — on time vs milestone plan
  • Blocker resolution — access / data gaps cleared
  • Scope discipline — changes handled, not dragging
  • Referral + conversion potential — recommend us, graduate to retainer

Applies to: Cropple, Code & Wander, Birdie, Lily, Rapid, any agency partner engagement.

/08 · THE LEARNING LOOP

Close. Every. Loop.

This is what separates Amplio from every other agency. Recommendations don't float — they get logged, measured, and fed back into the pattern library.

BEHAVIOR 01

Log recommendations

Said something to a client in a meeting, email, or report? Append it to their recommendations-tracker.md — priority, status, linked pattern ID.

Rule #9 · Close the loop

BEHAVIOR 02

Extract signals

Any client interaction — call, email, chat — gets processed. Feature requests, objections, praise, satisfaction land in ## Client Signals.

Rule #10 · Extract signals

BEHAVIOR 03

Test patterns

When reviewing data, actively check if it confirms or contradicts cross-client-patterns.md. Three contradictions in 30 days downgrades confidence.

Rule #11 · Test, don't confirm

Example: P-037 sCAPI-lift · Certify confirmed (+22%) · Odisei confirmed (+18%) · Birdie contradicted (+3%).

/09 · WEEKLY & MONTHLY RITUALS

The rhythm that keeps it all working.

Show up consistently. Nothing heroic. The system is designed to make a disciplined AM look like a miracle worker.

EVERY MORNING

Session brief

"Session brief" in Claude. Read the state of the world. Glance at pipeline. Review any health alerts.

EVERY AFTERNOON

Process inbox

"Process inbox". Brain-Dump.md gets routed. update_ labeled Gmail threads sync to the Vault.

EVERY FRIDAY

Client health

"Client health" runs the full scoring pass. Any client <70 gets a save plan drafted before Monday.

1ST OF MONTH

Monthly reports

One report per client per month. Use the template. Run brand-review. Send with a calendar invite for the review call.

QUARTERLY

Pattern review

"Test patterns" + "Learning report". Cross-client patterns confirmed, downgraded, or retired. Playbooks updated.

ALWAYS

Update memory

End every work block with "Update memory". CURRENT STATE overwritten, log appended. Future-you thanks present-you.
