A founder asked us to add a backend engineer because delivery kept slipping. We looked at the flow first. Every change waited on one person to deploy it by hand, late at night, carefully, and a second engineer would have doubled the queue at the same door. So we fixed the release path, and the hire landed later and was useful in his first week. Now we ask in intake who deploys, and what happens on the day that person is asleep.
Was this useful?
