The systems problems that show up in growing operations, and what actually resolves each one.
Written so far.
Build or buy, decided on evidence.
A product covers most of the process. The rest lives in spreadsheets beside it. Whether to keep paying for that gap or close it is a cost question, and it has a specific shape.
