1 published Field Note
Identify the owner-dependent customer handoff that must become visible and repeatable before adding more demand, staff, or software.
Scaling is not adding automation everywhere. It is making one valuable customer journey dependable without the owner coordinating every step. Define the trigger, required information, allowed decisions, exception owner, customer communication, completion evidence, and review rhythm before increasing volume or adding another tool.
The business grows around the owner's memory and intervention, so more leads or staff increase coordination load faster than reliable capacity.
Three signals worth inspecting

- 02New staff learn from side conversations
- 03More demand increases unresolved handoffs
