Audits founder time allocation, sorts tasks into four delegation buckets (Only You, Teach Someone, Hire For, Eliminate), builds handoff plans with 'good enough'…

How you ask

  • “Delegate”
  • “Bottleneck”
  • “Doing too much”

Inputs

  • client_company_overview — Client company profile — name, industry, size, offering, key contacts. Read when the request is client-scoped; the route asks the user when absent.
  • context — Founder's current situation — team size, role, hours worked, pain points
  • scope — company, or a client-id under the client root (client.root) — a string with one reserved value, not a closed set. Decides where the output is written: company processes or that client's processes.
  • profile — Company profile — stage and team context for the delegation audit.
  • task — The specific task or responsibility to hand off
  • delegate — Who will take over (name/role). If unknown, skill recommends.
  • prior_audit — Link to the previous delegation audit
