Identify and delegate tasks to scale fast

Identify and hand off tasks to build delegation muscle

Founders stuck between Level 1–2 (Doer/Delegator transition, $0-$1.5M revenue) who feel bottlenecked but haven't systematized delegation, and need permission to stop doing everything personally.

• · Founder's current time allocation (typical week walkthrough)
• · Team size and current roles (if BUSINESS_CONTEXT.md exists)
• · CEO evolution level self-assessment (Doer → Delegator → Director → Designer → Decider)

• · Four-bucket task audit: Only You / Teach Someone / Hire For / Eliminate
• · Specific handoff plan for 2-3 priority tasks with training timeline
• · Resistance coaching script for founder objections

• · Founder willing to examine their actual time allocation (not aspirational)
• · BUSINESS_CONTEXT.md created with team size, revenue, stage, founder role (5-min setup)

• · Founder conflates 'only I can do this' with 'only I want to do this' — requires pushback to surface real vs claimed constraints
• · Elimination bucket often underfilled because founders rationalize busywork as strategic
• · Handoff training timelines optimistic if existing team lacks capability or bandwidth

• · Five-level CEO evolution framework explicitly maps revenue stage to delegation ceiling
• · Four-bucket framework forces specificity (not vague 'delegate more')
• · Resistance coaching anticipates founder psychology (indispensability, perfectionism, trust)
• · Minimum acceptable standard concept reframes founder's perfectionism as cost
