Founder Delegation Wall Chart
Use this one-page delegation matrix to decide which founder tasks require your judgment, which benefit from AI support, which you can delegate, and which should run automatically.
The four decisions
- Human-led: high-stakes decisions that need founder judgment and accountability.
- Augment: work where AI prepares options, but the founder makes the decision.
- Delegate: varied work with a clear standard that AI can complete for review.
- Automate: repeatable, reversible work that should not start manually again.
Score every task before you move it
- Judgment: does a good answer depend on context nobody has written down?
- Risk: what does one bad output cost if it reaches a customer?
- Repeatability: is there a stable pattern and a definable standard of good?
- Reversibility: if it goes wrong, can you undo it cheaply and quickly?
