Decision

Adopt the full three-tier leverage scoreboard (all 8 metrics plus per-entity strip), delivered as a Sunday 7am ET Slack DM to Michael. Revenue per person is complemented by revenue per payroll dollar to account for role cost differences (a $100k/VA is better leverage than a $100k/engineer). Definitions live in Leverage scoreboard (weekly).

Context

Rye Valley operating cadence pillar. Team is 1 FT + 15 contractors; two contractors (Blake Emal, Tatem Lindner) hold equity and earn client-count-based monthly rates. Payroll provider API integration is pending (Michael investigating), so people-cost inputs start as estimates from Kick.

Consequences

  • Standing rule: whenever a new tool is connected to Hermes, the brain’s structural pages and scoreboard inputs/definitions get updated automatically in the same session, including proposing new metrics the tool enables.
  • Cron job on the Mini owns delivery; snapshots commit to metrics/.
