Coaching programme

Build the student experience, then price it

Start where the student starts. Define the event types you use, drag them into a task, replicate that task across the programme, then check the whole thing against what a coach can actually deliver in a day.

1The student plan

One student, one task at a time. Rename any block type, set its length and its buffer, then drag it into the plan. Reorder by dragging, or drag a block out of the plan to remove it.

What one student's time is made of

The same plan seen from the coach's side. Solid is time in front of the student, hatched is prep before and write up after. Both are paid working time, which is why the two totals differ.

2Size the cohort

Coaching time is booked against committed coach days. The coach view shows how much coaching a day actually holds once buffers and breaks are taken out.

3If bookings run above or below target

The capacity charge reserves trained coach capacity for your students. Reserved capacity costs the same whether or not it is used, so the price assumes a target fill rate and reconciles against what actually happens. It works in both directions.

not the booking fill rate

Credits are capped at the point where committed days meet the real work, because the programme cannot be delivered in fewer days than the work actually takes. Written work reviews need no student in the room, so in principle they can fill whatever gaps the booked sessions leave. In practice a review is due before its meeting, so most of that work falls due early in the programme and cannot reach a gap that opens later. Reviews must be front loaded, so the two levers are in step 2: the intake cadence, and whether the booking system can actually place a review into a coach's gap. Neither works without the other. Every wave of new students brings a fresh block of review work, which is what keeps backfill available deeper into the programme. The rest needs days of its own.

How the sizing works. Coaching time is the sum of the event lengths in a student's plan. The buffer either side of an event is working time, not idle time: the coach reads the notes before and writes them up afterwards. A coaching day is therefore the full day less breaks and less the slack held back, and how much coaching fits inside that allowance depends on the mix of events you have built. Slack is reserved rather than sold, because there is not always flexible review work available to fill a gap. Booked events carry the fill rate risk because a released slot may go unbooked. Written work reviews carry less of it, because they need no student present, but only the share that is free when a gap appears can be used as backfill. Reviews fall due before their meeting, so most of that work is front loaded and needs days of its own. Days are rounded up to whole days. Every coach completes the training days you set before delivery begins, and only coaches who have completed that training deliver on the programme.

3A coach's day

A coach's diary is rarely one type of event. These three cases take the plan you have built and fill a working day with it, from the easiest possible mix to the hardest, so you can see whether the day holds together before anyone commits to it. Prep before an event and write up after it are both working time, so neither is counted as rest. A fixed amount of slack is held back from every day to absorb overruns and the gaps a diary cannot fill, rather than assuming every minute packs perfectly.

4Are there enough coaches?

Caseload tells you how many coaches the relationships need. The calendar tells you how many the delivery window needs. Whichever number is larger is the one that decides the team.

How the day is modelled. A working day is the full day less breaks less the slack held back, and each case then fills that working allowance with whole events. Prep before an event and write up after it are both working time and are set independently for each block type. A block with no prep, such as reviewing written work, adds nothing beyond its own length. Slack is never sold, so it protects both the coach and the schedule. The lightest and heaviest cases use the single block type in your plan with the lowest and highest prep relative to its length, which is the honest way to test the extremes of a mixed diary. The realistic mix uses the actual blend of block types across the student plan. Left over is working time a whole event will not fit into, so it shows where a block length divides badly into the day.
