Founder & Operator Frameworks

When I started writing down arguments, decisions, and frameworks in our team, I quickly realized that making it readable for others is a forcing function in itself — it pushes the thinking to a higher standard.

That's exactly the purpose of publishing them on this site: to refine these frameworks and push them to that higher standard.

And if they also add value for others along the way, that's a great side effect.
