Three businesses. Three constraints. One process.

Each engagement begins the same way: a symptom the founder can see, and a mechanism they can't.

§ 04 · Constraint — The Thinking
Field Notes

Most growth advice is generic. This isn't.

The Operating System · 04 — Constraint
Founders don't need more tactics. They need to know which constraint is actually holding them back.
