The Operating Map
21-day structural installation. Constraint isolation and architecture reinstallation.
Initial consultation examines structural alignment and readiness.
Intervention Sequence
The Operating Map follows a five-phase structural intervention sequence.
Structural Signal Detection
Map all structural layers. Identify the patterns producing the most execution strain.
Authority Clarification
Authority clarity restores decision velocity. Decision rights are mapped and reinstalled at every level.
Escalation Path Reinstallation
Escalation paths are reinstalled to resolve in hours rather than weeks. Consensus friction is reduced on the critical path.
Cadence Installation
Execution rhythm is installed as the operating heartbeat. Structural checkpoints replace arbitrary meeting schedules.
Drift Suppression
Control surfaces are calibrated so metrics connect to intervention. Strategic drift tends to recur without this layer.
Patterns commonly observed
- Decisions that tend to require the founder to be in the room
- Meetings that often lack a defined outcome or owner
- Accountability structures that exist formally but diffuse in practice
- Work that frequently moves laterally instead of forward
- Escalations that slow because the path is unclear
What gets reinstalled
- Decision rights clarified at every level
- Escalation paths that resolve in hours rather than weeks
- An accountability structure that tracks commitments structurally
- A weekly execution rhythm the team operates within
- Information flow that reduces ambiguity
Engagement structure
21 days. Signal detection through installation.
Detection
Map all structural layers. Identify the patterns producing the most strain.
Architecture
Design the structural intervention. Decision rights, escalation paths, accountability architecture. Reviewed with leadership before installation.
Installation
Reinstall the system. Run it alongside the operating team. Adjust for friction. Transfer ownership once it holds under pressure.
Deployable across operating companies and portfolio environments.
- Execution Architecture
- The structural design of authority, sequencing, and cadence inside operating environments.
- Structural Strain
- Friction in execution that tends to emerge from ambiguity in authority, escalation, or cadence. Common during growth transitions.
- Operating Map
- A structural reinstallation engagement deployed across 21 days.
