Built by a founder who has sat on both sides of the table.

Candyce Thieken has founded 4 businesses, scaled one to a top-50 U.S. ag retailer, and sold it to private equity at a 10x return. As CFO, she led funding rounds, managed M&A integration, and presented to the boards and executive teams whose decisions hinged on the clarity of what was on the page in front of them.

She has also sat in the chair every founder eventually does — pitching investors, negotiating with partners, reviewing other people's decks and wishing the structure was tighter, the math was clearer, the story was sharper.

Every framework and template here was built from those exact moments. Not theory. Not a generic playbook. Not a pretty file built by a designer who has never closed a deal.

What you're buying is the system Candyce actually used — and still uses — to win the rooms that matter. A system constructed on her 20+ years of operating experience, not internet advice.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I get when I purchase The Business Case Framework?

You get three instantly downloadable files:

(1) a fully-structured Methodology Guide Word document that walks you step-by-step through 11 sections — The Ask through Decision Request — with guidance notes telling you exactly what to write in each,

(2) a 6-tab Excel financial model that auto-calculates ROI, NPV, and payback period the moment you input your costs and benefits — with a built-in sensitivity analysis that pressure-tests your projections at 70%, 85%, and 100%, and

(3) a 15-slide boardroom-ready PowerPoint deck with every slide pre-built — sections, prompts, and layouts ready for you to drop in your content. No blank-page paralysis. No back-of-envelope math. No guessing what your CFO wants to see.

What format is the deck in?

It's delivered as a .pptx file (PowerPoint). It also opens cleanly in Google Slides and Keynote if you prefer either of those applications.

Who is this for?

Anyone who needs to win approval for a meaningful initiative without hiring a Big 4 consultancy. Especially useful if you’re requesting budget, justifying headcount, defending a system purchase, or building the case for a strategic shift.

Is this a template or a finished business case?

It's a framework — meaning the structure, strategic prompts, section headers, and design are done for you. You fill in your specifics. Think of it as the scaffolding a consultant would charge you four figures to build.

Do I need design skills to use it?

No. Every slide is pre-formatted. Drop in your text, swap colors to match your brand if you want, and you're done.

Can I edit and customize everything?

Yes — fonts, colors, layouts, copy, images. It's fully customizable in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote.

Can I use this for client work?

Yes, for your own business or a single client engagement. Reselling, redistributing, or repackaging the framework itself is not permitted.

How is this different from a free template online?

Free templates give you empty boxes. This deck gives you the actual strategic framework — the right questions, the right order, the right depth — built from real business strategy work, not generic filler.

When will I receive it?

Immediately. The download link appears on your confirmation page and is sent to your email the moment your order is processed.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. If you're not satisfied, email within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. No hoops, no questions.

Can I use this for multiple businesses?

Yes — once you own it, you can use it for as many of your own ventures as you want.

Will I get future updates?

Yes. Whenever this product is updated, you get the new version free.
