For independent consultants and client-facing advisors

Not meeting notes. Client follow-through.

Stop losing client momentum after the call

Runlo turns real client conversations into the work that should happen next: what you promised, what the client owes you, follow-up drafts, scope-creep signals, relationship risk, and prep for the next hard conversation.

Post-meeting follow-through

Acme Q2 review imported

1 confidence drop flagged

Transcript pasted at 7:42 AM

"Tom will send the revised budget by Thursday. I promised Sarah a board-ready summary by Friday. She still sounds nervous about runway and asked whether we can show impact before renewal."

Captured:

Commitment: Tom owes revised budget by Thursday
You owe: board-ready summary by Friday
Risk signal: Sarah is championing but showing runway anxiety before renewal

Follow-up ready for review

Runlo drafted the client follow-up, linked both commitments to Acme, and moved the runway concern into client health for this week's digest.

Visible client memory

Confidence across portfolio

Last 3 debriefs per client. Trend arrows surface what to prep for the weekly read.

Acme: 8 → 7 → 6 (runway concern)
HR Claw: 6 → 6 → 7 (champion landed)
Beta Inc: 6 → 7 → 8 (steady momentum)

Approval + control

Sensitive actions wait for approval. Memory stays editable. You can delete any client data, any time.

Where consulting work breaks

The meeting is captured. The follow-through is not.

Consultants do not lose clients because the transcript was messy. Momentum leaks when action items live in notes, client-owned blockers go untracked, quick questions become unpaid work, and hard conversations wait until renewal is already at risk.

Role-play the conversation before it costs you

Runlo uses the actual client context to play the other side: the skeptical CFO, the founder asking for free work, the champion losing influence, or the VP who inherited your engagement. You can rehearse the pushback, then turn it into the follow-up.

Promises scattered across tools

Notes, email drafts, CRM fields, Notion pages, and memory all compete to hold the same commitments.

Client blockers go quiet

Waiting-on-them items look harmless until the next meeting arrives and the work still cannot move.

Scope creep hides in small asks

The phrase "one quick thing" becomes a boundary problem when it never turns into a visible decision.

Hard conversations get delayed

Pushback, renewal risk, executive alignment, and sponsor drift need rehearsal before the real call.

Who Runlo is for

Built for consultants carrying multiple client relationships

If your value depends on remembering context, pushing work forward, protecting scope, and preparing for hard client conversations across several active clients, Runlo is built for you.

For Independent Consultants

Keep every retainer moving after the call

3-8 active clients, each taking real brain space. Runlo tracks what you promised, what the client owes, where scope is drifting, who is under pressure, and what needs a hard conversation before renewal.

For Fractional Leaders

Hold context across portfolio companies without losing the thread

Fractional CRO, CFO, CTO — if your work spans multiple client companies, Runlo keeps the relationship context visible: confidence trends, open commitments, stakeholder maps, and what to bring to the next check-in.

For Strategic Advisors

Across founders, accounts, and customer engagements

Advising 10 founders, board seats across 4 companies, or independent advisor engagements with quarterly check-ins — the shape is the same: a portfolio of strategic relationships, irregular touchpoints, decisions made between meetings. Runlo keeps that between-meeting space organized.

How it works

Import. Review. Follow through. Digest.

Runlo is built around the work that meetings create. It turns messy meeting context into reviewable commitments, follow-ups, relationship memory, and a weekly read on client risk.

30 minutes before each meeting → prep brief

Attendee context, last meeting's debrief, open commitments, and fresh public-web context on the company. You walk in already up to date.

After the meeting → import transcript or debrief

Paste the transcript in web, or debrief by Telegram/Discord. Runlo extracts commitments, waiting-on-them items, decisions, and relationship signals.

Before anything ships → review follow-through

Approve, edit, snooze, or dismiss. Follow-up drafts and client memory stay under your control instead of being auto-sent.

Friday 5pm → client risk digest

A weekly read across every active engagement: who is healthy, who is drifting, what's overdue, and which client needs attention next.

Plus: every memory is visible and editable. Confidence trends, stakeholder maps, open commitments — all yours to inspect, correct, or delete.

Between the rituals

Three watchers running in the background

Rituals fire at meeting beats. These run continuously, keeping your client portfolio picture fresh.

Morning briefing

Every weekday: today's meetings, open commitments, emails to handle, news touching your clients. One read before the day starts.

Voice capture

Speak a thought. Runlo extracts the commitments, decisions, and contacts and routes them to the right engagement. No typing, no tagging.

Account political map

Runlo maps every account from your debriefs — who champions you, who blocks you, who reports to whom — and flags stakeholders going cold before a champion does. Every edge is yours to confirm or correct.

All enabled by default. Disable any of them in Settings.

The consulting edge

43 battle-tested playbooks. Cited only when they apply.

Runlo doesn't generate generic advice. It pattern-matches your situation against a curated library of named playbooks — from Champion Turnover and Renewal at Risk to Crucial Conversations and Leading Without Authority — and surfaces the one that fits. You hear the framework name. You decide if it applies. And you can rehearse it first.

Situation

Your champion got a new VP above them last quarter.

Champion Turnover or Role Change

Trust contracts reset when the champion changes. The new VP sees your work as inherited cost, inherited value, or unknown. Window to reframe: 14 days. Common trap — assuming the existing champion still owns the relationship.

Situation

Client keeps adding small asks — "while you're at it," "one quick thing."

Chronic Scope Creep

Each accommodation re-anchors expectations. Scope discipline is the consultant's responsibility, not the client's. Two response patterns work — the relationship-currency one is only appropriate when your champion is under heavy political pressure.

Situation

Renewal in 3 months. Reply latency stretched from 24h to 5 days.

Communication Latency Shift

Latency shifts before renewal are rarely random. Three hypotheses to test before assuming disengagement: champion pressure, budget reallocation, or competitive evaluation. Don't escalate until you know which.

Situation

You inherited a sales team that didn't hire you, and the founder wants results in 90 days.

Leading Without Authority + First 90 Days

You're driving change through people who don't report to you, on borrowed authority and a short clock. Influence runs on currencies — what each person values — not the org chart. Rehearse the first hard conversation with Runlo playing the skeptical VP before you have it for real.

Not another CRM

A CRM helps you close the deal, then forgets you.

CRMs are built for pipeline mechanics, leads, and forecasting — and they go quiet the moment the deal is signed. Runlo lives in the relationship itself: winning the engagement, delivering it, renewing it. One continuous thread of memory, rehearsal, and strategy — from the first pitch to the fifth renewal.

Keep your CRM for the pipeline. Add Runlo for the relationship.
