Most businesses don't fail.
They leak.
Six categories of value loss. Most scaling businesses have at least two. Many don't know which one is costing them most.
Your vision is clear at the top. By the time it reaches the frontline, it is unrecognisable. The strategy you think is being executed isn't. Decisions are being made every day that are individually logical but collectively pulling the organisation away from the north star — and no one is saying it out loud.
1
PATH Pillar: P — Purpose & Vision Alignment
Strategy Drift
Great plans, poor implementation. The bridge between boardroom intent and operational reality is broken — and it's costing you margin and momentum. Your team is busy. The needle isn't moving. The distance between what was decided and what was done grows with every quarter.

PATH Pillar: A — Actionable Strategy & Process Optimisation
Execution Leakage
Every decision still needs your blessing. Your team is capable but waiting. The business cannot move faster than your availability — which means the ceiling on the business is the ceiling on your time. You are the highest-paid person in the organisation and the one most involved in the lowest-value decisions.

PATH Pillar: T — Team (Delegation)
Founder Bottleneck
The same mistakes appear in different quarters with different people attached to them. You fix the symptom, not the cause. Operational debt compounds silently — every manual workaround, every undocumented process, every shortcut taken in the name of speed adds interest that the team pays back in wasted hours.

PATH Pillar: T — Team (Learning)
Repeated Failures
The values that drove early success are eroding as you scale. New hires don't carry the culture — because the culture was never systematised. What was once transmitted by proximity and osmosis now gets lost in the gap between the leadership team and the rest of the organisation.

PATH Pillar: T — Team (Feedback)
Culture Dilution
Revenue grows. Complexity grows faster. Operational overhead scales 1:1 with sales. Every pound of new revenue costs more than the last to service. Growth becomes a liability, not an asset. The business is working harder for the same — or worse — return.

Growth Eating Margins
