We analyze your operating system, scope management process, decision-making structure, and meeting load. In 30 days we free the founder from the bottleneck and recover the labor cost hidden inside your rework cycles.
Who This Is For
At the $2M to $20M stage, the operating system was built by the founder for a team of 5. It has never been redesigned. As the team grew, the founder absorbed more decisions, not fewer, and the system became a bottleneck for everyone below them.
You cannot take a week off without things stalling. You are in every important meeting, approving every significant decision, and solving the problems your team should be solving.
Projects run over budget and timeline. Scope changes constantly. The team is talented but the system they operate in creates waste faster than they can produce output.
Output per head is falling. You are adding headcount but not adding proportional capacity. The problem is not the people, it is the operating system they are working inside.
Where Your Operational Profit Disappears
Every important decision routes through the founder. Approvals stall, context is lost, and the team waits. The founder is the highest-paid individual in the company and they are spending 40% of their week on decisions that should not require them.
Projects expand without formal change orders. Clients add requests informally and the team absorbs them. The original estimate is 30% below what was actually delivered. The difference was not billed and will never be recovered.
The same deliverable goes through three rounds of revision because the brief was unclear, the approval process is informal, or the decision-maker changed their mind after production began. Each revision cycle costs the same as the first pass.
Everything is a priority, which means nothing is. The team is pulled in multiple directions simultaneously, context switching between projects, with no structured way to evaluate what gets done first based on business impact.
How work gets done exists in people's heads. When someone leaves, the process leaves with them. Onboarding new team members takes months because nothing is written down and tribal knowledge is the only documentation.
Status meetings that should be async updates. Alignment calls for decisions that could be made with a clear decision-making framework. Team member is in 14 hours of meetings per week, most of which produce no decision.
The Process
