Everything on Resource Allocation

Consistently delegating high-stakes projects to top performers creates a dangerous dynamic where key employees burn out while others stagnate due to lack of challenge.

Impact: Rotating responsibility prevents single points of failure and accelerates the development of a broader bench of capable leaders and contributors.

Token allocation must be role-specific rather than flat, with high-leverage roles commanding disproportionate compute budgets while routine functions require minimal access.

Impact: Prevents unsustainable cost structures and aligns AI spend directly with measurable business leverage and output.
