The problem
Somewhere in business there is a framework that answers the question in front of you right now. The trouble has never been that it doesn’t exist — it’s that you can’t find it, name it, or see how it connects to the three next to it.
Frameworks are scattered across a hundred books, blogs and half-remembered courses, each using its own vocabulary, none agreeing on where one ends and the next begins. So you reach for the four models you already know and force every problem through them — missing the one that was built for exactly this.
What’s missing isn’t another explanation of one model. It’s a single, organised map of all of them — what each does, when to use it, and what it connects to.
What the Compendium gives you
The Business Framework Compendium is that map: all 467 frameworks across 25 categories, each defined, placed and cross-referenced, so you can find the right tool in seconds and see how the whole landscape of business and finance thinking fits together.
- All 25 categories, indexed
- 467 frameworks, each defined
- When-to-use guidance per model
- How each connects to the others
- Founder and finance tracks
- A single consistent vocabulary
- Cross-references throughout
- The companion to the whole Library
… the complete reference to all 467 frameworks in one volume.
How you’ll use it
Start from the question — “how do I value a pre-revenue startup?”, “how much debt can this company carry?”, “what’s my walk-away?” — and the Compendium takes you straight to the framework built for it, tells you what it does, and points you to the ones around it. It turns 467 scattered tools into one navigable system.
Want the frameworks fully taught, each with a runnable Excel model? The Business Framework Omnibus is all 25 books and all 467 models. Or start free with the Framework Starter Pack — five complete chapters and their Excel models.
467 frameworks. One page each. A single reference. Every framework a business and finance practitioner actually uses — ready the moment you need it.
When you’re mid-deal, mid-board-paper or mid-decision, you don’t need a course — you need to find the right model fast, confirm how it works, and know its traps before you rely on it. That’s the Compendium: 467 frameworks across 25 categories, each distilled to a single, practical page.
- 467 frameworks across 25 categories, one page each
- Built for fast reference in real decisions, not classroom study
- Written from 30+ years in investment banking, M&A and private equity
