What it is

Use actual recurring lateral issues. Name the decision class, one clear owner, required contributors, relevant boundaries and the condition that justifies escalation. The goal is to reduce founder arbitration and prevent “collaboration” from becoming ownerless negotiation.

How to use Accelerators

Accelerators are practical tools that make a live management problem visible enough to redesign. They do not substitute for professional management. Use the smallest tool that clarifies the current constraint and changes behavior.
