## Why this matters

Most strategy documents die in folders — months of work, hundreds of pages, archived and
quietly gathering dust. Ciclo brings that work back to life, turning a static document into a
live strategy the whole team can act on, in minutes. And it preserves the client's **own words**
— they don't see a sanitised consultant version, they see *their* strategy, intact. That's the
difference between buying in and rolling their eyes.

## Turn a document into a live strategy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload the document">
    On the **Strategy** page, choose **Upload** and drop in the client's strategy — a board
    paper, a plan PDF, or a slide deck exported as a document. The AI reads it and extracts the
    vision, goals, and competitive context. No template to fill in, no reformatting. (Full
    detail in [Strategy](/features/strategy).)

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the populated Strategy page">
    The client's strategic goals are now structured in the system — in their own framing,
    navigable, editable, and ready to connect to execution.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the Roadmap and Performance pages">
    The [Roadmap](/features/roadmap) is populated with initiatives pulled from the document, and
    the [Performance page](/features/performance-kpis) shows initial KPIs identified from it — a
    starting point you can refine, target, and connect to goals.

  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  **No document? Use the sample data.** Running a workshop, or want to show what a complete setup
  looks like, with no client document to hand? Load the built-in sample strategy for a fully
  built example — goals, initiatives, KPIs, and actions — ready to demonstrate in seconds.
</Tip>

## The value you're delivering

* **From concept to live system in one session** — you're no longer showing a slide deck or a
  demo, you're showing the client *their own strategy*, running, before you leave the room.
* **Their words, preserved** — the client recognises their strategy, which drives buy-in.
* **Execution-ready immediately** — goals, initiatives, and KPIs are connected and editable from
  the start. That's not a sales demo; that's the work beginning.
