You've built something remarkable. But the very systems meant to support your growth are now the anchors holding you back. Every minute your team spends fighting clunky software or performing manual tasks is ‘Regrettable GDP’ — payroll for work that creates zero value, actively eroding your profit margins.

This operational drag metastasizes into burnout, turning your A-players into quiet-quitters. They were hired to innovate, but are stuck being human middleware. The cost isn't just on a spreadsheet; it's in the loss of creativity, momentum, and the cultural decay that follows. Throwing more AI tools at the problem without a coherent strategy only adds complexity and cost, drifting you further from the elegant, scalable system you need.
