Founder decisions / Executive intelligence
Founder intervention is useful evidence.
If every opportunity needs you to explain the context, assign the specialist, or chase the next step, pay attention to that pattern.
Your intervention may reveal a missing decision rule, an unclear handoff, or a capacity constraint.
For one week, note where you step in and what decision you make. Then choose one repeated decision to make explicit for the team.
Keep human judgment where it is needed. Give routine work enough structure to move without you reconstructing it each time.
Which repeated decision keeps returning to your desk?
