- Score the work for repeatability, risk, and reviewability before recruiting starts.
- Estimate cost after the role has tasks, tools, and first-month finished work.
- Turn the selected tasks into SOPs, quality checks, and a weekly management rhythm.
Send the role you are considering and the tasks you want off your plate.
