- #1Leadership & CEO CapabilityHighTo Do

Assignee: Unassigned · due 14 days after project start · takes 7 days

Assignee: Unassigned · due 48 days after project start · takes 14 days

Assignee: Unassigned · due 83 days after project start · takes 3 days
- #11Speed-Over-Efficiency / Blitzscaling ChoiceLowTo Do
Blitzscaling as a conscious, situational bet—prioritizing speed over efficiency—and helps you judge when the winner-take-most conditions actually justify it.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 86 days after project start · takes 3 days
- #12Organizational ComplexityMediumTo Do
Why coordination cost explodes—not grows—as you add people, products, customers, and locations, and how that exponential burden erodes execution.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 89 days after project start · takes 7 days

Assignee: Unassigned · due 138 days after project start · takes 7 days

Assignee: Unassigned · due 145 days after project start · takes 7 days
- #18Execution Velocity & QualityHighTo Do
Define what good execution looks like at scale — shipping quality work smoothly, with minimal drama, waste, and friction — and treats it as an output of the systems upstream of it.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 152 days after project start · takes 14 days
- #19Adaptive Organizational Structure & Process DesignMediumTo Do
The deliberate redesign of structure, roles, decision rights, and processes as the firm grows — treating the org as a product you iterate, not a chart you set once.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 166 days after project start · takes 7 days

Assignee: Unassigned · due 173 days after project start · takes 7 days

- #23Predictable Pipeline & Sales EngineMediumTo Do
Build a sales engine that produces revenue on a forecastable schedule—through lead-source diversity (seeds, nets, spears) and role specialization—rather than relying on heroics.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 194 days after project start · takes 7 days

Make culture an explicit artifact rather than an accidental residue, so that behavior stays coherent as headcount doubles annually.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 201 days after project start · takes 7 days

Keeping and continuously requalifying world-class people—including through downturns and adversity—rather than only attracting them.
Assignee: Unassigned · due 225 days after project start · takes 7 days
- #28Sustainable Revenue GrowthHighTo Do

Assignee: Unassigned · due 232 days after project start · takes 14 days
