FAQ
Straight answers on fit, scope, payroll, hiring, compliance and what the work can — and cannot — promise.
Fit
The best clients are founder-led businesses with about 50–300 employees where repeated people decisions are slowing growth. The work is practical and operating-led: we inspect escalations, authority, manager capability, performance alignment and people controls.
It works when the founder is willing to name an internal owner, share information and allow managers to be held accountable.
Frequently asked
