Decision Rights Sprint
Clarify which decisions belong to the founder, the team, or a specific role.
PROGRESS Implementation Sprint
Install one operating fix in 30 days.
Turn one lead operating bottleneck into a working asset your team can use.
A focused implementation sprint for founders who know what needs to change but need help making the change real inside the business.
Diagnosis Is Not Installation
The roadmap is not the result.
The Scaling Bottleneck Audit gives you clarity.
It identifies the lead bottleneck, maps the founder dependencies creating drag, and gives you a 90-Day Scaling Roadmap.
But the roadmap is not the result.
The result happens when one part of the business starts running differently.
The PROGRESS Implementation Sprint exists for that moment: when you know what needs to change and need help installing the first fix.
Roadmap
Sprint Focus
Installed Asset
Team Uses It
Lead Domino First
Focus is what makes implementation possible.
Most founders try to improve too many things at once. They rewrite SOPs, adjust the org chart, buy tools, add meetings, and push the team harder.
But if the lead domino is still standing, the business stays heavy. In the sprint, we choose one operating constraint and build around it.
Sprint Tracks
What we can build in the sprint.
Each sprint installs one operating fix based on the lead bottleneck.
Operating Rhythm Sprint
Install a weekly cadence for priorities, metrics, meetings, follow-up, and accountability.
Accountability Sprint
Define ownership, outcomes, scorecards, and review points so the team knows what progress looks like.
SOP / Operating Hub Sprint
Create the first version of a shared operating hub for knowledge, workflows, decisions, and standards.
Delivery Workflow Sprint
Clarify a key delivery workflow so handoffs, expectations, and responsibilities are easier to follow.
Scorecard / Visibility Sprint
Build a simple dashboard or scorecard so the founder can see what matters without chasing updates.
Offer / Sales Handoff Sprint
Clarify how leads move from interest to conversation to proposal to client handoff.
Growth Capacity Sprint
Align growth activity, delivery capacity, and team ownership so demand does not create chaos.
AI Workflow Sprint
Use AI to remove redundancy from one recurring workflow, reduce manual work, and speed up repeatable outputs.
Tangible Output
You leave with a working operating asset.
The goal is not to document everything. The goal is to install one useful fix that reduces founder dependence and gives the business a stronger operating layer.

Every sprint includes weekly founder sessions, a clear implementation target, and a final next-move recommendation.

Good Fit
This is for you if...
- You already know the business depends too much on you.
- You want help implementing one operating fix, not discussing the entire business forever.
- Your team is capable, but ownership, decisions, workflows, or accountability still need structure.
- You want a tangible operating asset by the end of the sprint.
- You are willing to focus on one lead domino instead of trying to fix everything at once.
Not Fit
This is not for you if...
- You want a broad 6-month cohort or community program.
- You want general coaching instead of implementation.
- You are not ready to change how work, decisions, or accountability currently happen.
- You want every system in the business rebuilt at once.
- You have not identified a real operating bottleneck yet and need diagnosis first.
Two Ways To Start
The sprint works best when the lead domino is clear.
Start After The Scaling Bottleneck Audit
Best if you want the sprint based on a full operating diagnosis and 90-Day Scaling Roadmap.
- Complete the Scale Readiness Diagnosis
- Book the Bottleneck Audit
- Choose the sprint focus
- Install the first operating fix
Apply Directly
Best if you already know the operating bottleneck and want help installing the structure.
- Submit a sprint inquiry
- Complete a Lead Domino Review
- Confirm the sprint scope
- Move forward or start with the audit

Sprint Inquiry
Ready to turn one bottleneck into a working operating fix?

Sprint FAQ
Clear answers before you inquire.
What is the PROGRESS Implementation Sprint?
A focused 30-day implementation sprint that helps a founder-led company fix one lead operating bottleneck and install a practical operating asset.
How is this different from the Scaling Bottleneck Audit?
The Scaling Bottleneck Audit diagnoses the lead bottleneck. The sprint helps install one operating fix from that roadmap or from a Lead Domino Review.
Is this a cohort program?
No. It replaces the older cohort-style Founder's OS Lab concept with a focused implementation sprint.
Do all sprint levels include meetings?
Yes. Every level includes weekly founder sessions. The difference is how much of the implementation Steven guides, builds with you, or builds for you.
How much does it cost?
Guided Sprint is $2,500, Build-With-You Sprint is $3,500, and Build-For-You Sprint is $5,000.
Should I complete the Scaling Bottleneck Audit first?
It is recommended, but not required. Direct applicants begin with a short Lead Domino Review to confirm what we are fixing.
PROGRESS Implementation Sprint
Install one operating fix your team can actually use.
Inquire about a sprint or start with the Scaling Bottleneck Audit if you need the diagnosis before implementation.
