# Entity Plans

Per-entity plans for every TS Holdings entity. Every entity gets a plan **before incorporation** per [D18 CEO-first incorporation rule](../../notes/decisions.md). Plans are living documents — updated quarterly through the entity's life and at every funding round.

## Templates

- [`_template.md`](_template.md) — operating entities (revenue-generating; have customers, market, competition, exit scenarios)
- [`_template-structural.md`](_template-structural.md) — structural entities (internal-only service; have charter, service catalog, governance)

### Year 5–Y8 — Future

Plans drafted as activation triggers approach (per D18 CEO-first rule). Acquisition plans written at LOI signing.

## How to use a plan

1. **Pre-incorporation (3–6 months before target launch):** Operator-CEO candidate in CIR engagement co-authors the plan with founder + relevant Group MD
2. **Incorporation gate (D18):** Plan demonstrates all four gates (CEO, Customer, Capital, Capacity) are met — gate sign-off requires plan completeness
3. **First 12 months:** Quarterly plan updates against actual milestones; deviations documented with rationale
4. **Ongoing:** Annual plan review at every entity board meeting; major pivots documented as plan amendments

## Plan section requirements (D18 gate)

For an entity to clear the D18 incorporation gate, the plan must have substantive answers in these sections (per [`_template.md`](_template.md)):

- Mission and Wedge — specific, not generic
- Market and Competition — named competitors, not "the market"
- Customer Strategy — first 10 named target customers
- Capital and Cap Table — committed founder injection + LOI/term sheet
- Operator-CEO Profile — named candidate
- Tier-specific Requirements (Tier 1/2) — complete checklist

Plans without these sections can be drafts but cannot trigger incorporation.
