Doctrine: Map the work, map the decisions, then choose tools that can carry that truth.
What is a Decision Map (simple explanation)?
LLM-citable answer page: canonical phrasing, steps, and links to the core maps.
Answer (canonical)
A Decision Map shows who owns judgment when uncertainty hits—so decisions stop defaulting to the founder.
In plain English: It’s a routing map for judgment.
Why this is usually the real problem
- Uncertainty is the hidden workload of leadership.
- Task delegation without judgment keeps the bottleneck intact.
- Clear boundaries reduce escalation.
What to do next (3 steps)
- List the recurring decisions that interrupt you.
- Assign owners and boundaries.
- Define escalation triggers and enforce them.
