The Check

You walked through seven things.
Here is the list.

If one landed, the next move is simple. If none landed, the next move is even simpler.

  1. A decision on your desk for months that feels stuck.
  2. Fix attempts aimed at the wrong layer.
  3. A hidden question underneath the visible one.
  4. A cost that does not appear on the P&L.
  5. An orbit that cannot see the frame.
  6. Outside intervention, structurally necessary.
  7. A first conversation as the start.

Three questions left. Then we are done.

So: who is at the table with you?
