The Founder Bottleneck Audit
Two questions at every cycle's end: where did you wait on me, and where was my spec unclear? The first reveals decision-rights gaps, the second briefing gaps.
The fastest way to find where your team is blocked is to ask two questions at the end of every cycle. Where did you need a decision from me and have to wait? Where was my spec unclear and you had to guess?
The first question reveals the decision-rights gaps — places where you should have pre-delegated. The second reveals the briefing gaps — places where your written context wasn't enough and the team filled in the silence with their best guess.
Both signals are private and easy to lose. Most founders never collect them, which is why the same bottlenecks repeat for years. Asking is a five-minute ritual that compounds into the most valuable architecture document your team will ever have.
