Start with the problem you're trying to solve.

Founder Bottleneck Checklist

Is too much of the organization still running through you?

This quick self-assessment helps you identify where leadership has become the default decision-maker, approval process or problem-solver and where that may be creating unnecessary pressure or limiting growth.

Good for:

  • Founders who can't seem to get out of the day-to-day

  • Executive directors carrying too much operational responsibility

  • Leaders trying to delegate more effectively

  • Growing teams where too many decisions still funnel through one person

AI Adoption Readiness Checklist

Before you automate the work, make sure the work actually makes sense.

This checklist helps you assess whether your workflows, information practices and team are ready for AI or automation โ€” before you spend money on another tool.

Good for:

  • Organizations exploring AI for the first time

  • Teams with too many disconnected tools

  • Leaders wondering what is actually worth automating

  • Organizations thinking about responsible AI use

Business Clarity Toolkit

When everything feels important, start by figuring out what actually is.

The Business Clarity Toolkit is designed to help you step back from the noise, look honestly at what's happening in the organization and identify where your attention is most needed.

Use it when you're feeling stuck, stretched or unsure what to tackle first.

Good for:

  • Founders carrying too many priorities

  • Businesses going through transition or growth

  • Leaders who need a clearer starting point

  • Anyone who keeps adding things to the list without taking anything off

Nonprofit Capacity Check

A short assessment for executive directors and small nonprofit teams to identify where stretched capacity, unclear ownership or underbuilt systems may be putting pressure on the organization.
