A handbook that scales from 1 to 5 without rewriting. (Full PDF linked below.)
Communication norms
- Async by default. Default to writing.
- Slack for ephemeral. Notion/Linear for durable.
- Meetings only for: decisions, alignment, hard conversations.
Decision rights
- Reversible decisions: anyone, ship and learn.
- Two-way doors: low ceremony, document after.
- One-way doors: written proposal, 24-hour async review, founder signs.
Tools stack (opinionated)
- Linear for product. Notion for docs. Slack for chat. Loom for async video. Stripe for revenue. Vercel for hosting.
Rituals
- Monday: weekly priorities.
- Wednesday: customer pulse review.
- Friday: 15-min retro.
- Monthly: investor update + cap-table check.
