How Elite Teams Stay Lean While Scaling
That puts you in the elite tier - your operations are optimized and running smoothly.
But here's the truth: even elite operations can break under rapid growth.
Stay ahead of the curve.
Based on your high score, you're likely at Stage 4-5 on the maturity map. This guide will show you what to focus on next to maintain your edge as you scale.
Five stages every growing business goes through
Everything done by hand
Looks like: Tasks in WhatsApp, no CRM, no SOPs
Some tools, no real integration
Looks like: Zapier chaos, Google Sheets + duct tape
Clean systems, visible processes
Looks like: SOPs, clear ownership, tracked KPIs
Ops drive growth, not just support it
Looks like: Dashboards, async workflows, 70-90% automation
Ops run without you - self-healing backend
Looks like: AI-assisted workflows, layered automation
