Figures are from our own agency, not Armando customers.
Illustrative sample data. Bubble size = monthly value.
Halden is in the danger zone. Renewal in 96 days. Book an intro with the new VP this week.
A WEEK WITH YOUR HEAD OF ACCOUNTS
You start each conversation. The free Brain does not monitor your accounts or send reminders in the background.
Share the signals for each key client.
You: Pick the top three.
Silence, new faces, contract questions.
You: Make the calls.
Agenda, questions, one topic to avoid.
You: Read for five minutes.
Words tied to the account goal.
You: Have the conversation.
Next steps with owners and dates.
You: Review and send.
ASK IT ANYTHING ABOUT A CLIENT
Checks the signals you share and suggests what to do next.
You: Halden went quiet after their new VP started. Renewal in 96 days.
Brain: That is worth checking now. Ask for a short intro to the new VP and bring a one-page summary of results. Silence is a signal, not proof they are leaving.
A starting rhythm for the months before renewal.
You: Can I raise our rate 8% in April?
Brain: Maybe. When does the contract renew, what notice is required, and what result would the client recognise? Talk through the value and the new scope before sending a rate notice.
A dated plan per client, built on one goal.
You: Plan the next 90 days for Brightwell. Goal: grow.
Brain: Start with a results check and a conversation about the sponsor’s priorities. Then test a small next step. Give each action an owner and date once you know who is involved.
Agenda, questions and the one topic to avoid.
You: Prep me for tomorrow’s QBR with Tern.
Brain: Open with their goals, not your work. Three results against those goals. Two questions about next quarter. Don’t raise the invoice dispute in the room; take it offline with finance.
Work through scope, deadlines and rates with the client.
You: The client wants two more features by Friday. The team says it is not possible.
Brain: First check the real constraint with the delivery lead. Then ask what must be live on Friday. Offer a clear trade-off: keep the date with less scope, or keep the scope with more time or capacity.
Also: stakeholder maps, portfolio health scores and email templates. Based on documented founder lessons, with fictional example clients.

Used Armando’s Brain · risk-radar, renewals-expansion
Risk: Medium · Renewal: in 96 days
Seen: replies slowed; a new senior person nobody introduced you to.
Might mean: the VP is reviewing suppliers, or your contact lost influence. Both are guesses.
Next 48 hours
Ask the client: “What does the new VP want to see from us in the next quarter?”
Illustrative answer for a fictional client. The assistant uses only the context you give it.

QUESTIONS
A plug that lets an AI assistant like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor read an outside source. You paste one URL into your assistant once. After that it can read our playbook whenever you ask about a client.
Yes. The Brain is our playbook and founder lessons, free to connect and use. No sign-up today.
The MCP server receives the question your assistant sends to consult_brain and returns playbook text. It has no access to your client systems or account history. You can keep names and sensitive details out of the question. Your assistant handles what you share with it under its own terms.
Leszek Knoll and Matt Warcholinski. We built a software development agency from zero to 110 people and exited. Account management drove 17% revenue growth and 20% EBITDA growth there. These are historical founder results, not Armando customer outcomes.
The Brain is the playbook. Armando runs it on your real clients: shared client context, reminders in Slack and a plan per account.
No. Ask your assistant a question and give it the relevant client context. The Brain returns the right playbook; your assistant applies it. It does not monitor accounts or send reminders on its own.
No. For contract terms, liability or tax, ask a lawyer or accountant. The Brain talks in probabilities, not promises.
