Digital Resources

PPBE, distilled. Priced for the practitioner.

Not every defense contractor needs a $5,000 audit. Some just need the operating manual and the reference library that would take a year to build from scratch. These digital resources compress that year into two deliverables you can put to work today.

Two resources

Buy once. Use every cycle.

Delivered as PDF and, where applicable, editable templates. Single-user or single-organization licenses. Sold outright, no subscription.

Resource One

The PPBE Playbook

$199 single-user license

The operating manual for the Planning, Programming, Budgeting & Execution process, written for defense contractors and program leadership. The book that explains, plainly, how the money you are chasing actually moves.

  • The four PPBE phases, mapped to your calendar
  • How POM builds affect your revenue, month by month
  • Continuing Resolutions, marks, and hearings - what they mean for your program
  • The vocabulary you need to hold your own in a Combatant Command conversation
  • Delivered as PDF, downloadable immediately after purchase

Single-user license. Not for redistribution.

Resource Two

Defense Strategy Resource Library

$499 single-organization license

Best value - includes the Playbook.

Seven resources bundled into one library. The reference material a Combatant Command program office would build over years, compressed into one download. Licensed for use across a single company or organization.

  • The PPBE Playbook (included)
  • POM Alignment Self-Assessment worksheet
  • MDEP & Program Element crosswalk template
  • Unfunded Requirements exposure model
  • Congressional cycle calendar and markup tracker
  • Capability statement stress-test checklist
  • Executive briefing template for program leadership
  • Delivered as ZIP, downloadable immediately after purchase

Single-organization license. Use across one company.

Who these are for

The resources are a fit if:

  • 01

    You are new to the resource cycle

    A founder, a BD lead, or a program manager who has landed inside the defense market and needs to learn how the money actually moves. The Playbook is your starting point.

  • 02

    You have a small team that needs shared vocabulary

    The Resource Library is licensed for one organization. Distribute it across your BD, capture, and program teams so everyone reads from the same page.

  • 03

    You are not yet ready for a full engagement

    If a $5,000 audit is not the right next step, a $199 or $499 investment gets you moving. Buyers who later engage receive credit for their purchase against the audit fee.

  • 04

    You want a reference, not a subscription

    Both resources are sold outright. Buy once, download, use as many cycles as you have. No renewal, no recurring fee.
