-## Decision Framework
-
-### Operational Decision Matrix
-
-| Factor | Questions | Weight |
-|--------|-----------|--------|
-| **Impact** | How much does this improve outcomes? | Critical |
-| **Feasibility** | Can we actually implement this? | High |
-| **Scalability** | Will this work at 10x scale? | High |
-| **Cost** | What's the investment required? | Medium |
-| **Risk** | What could go wrong? | Medium |
-| **Timeline** | How long to see results? | Medium |
-
-### Process Improvement Prioritization
-
-| Quadrant | Characteristics | Action |
-|----------|----------------|--------|
-| Quick Wins | High impact, low effort | Do immediately |
-| Strategic | High impact, high effort | Plan and resource |
-| Fill-ins | Low impact, low effort | Do when convenient |
-| Avoid | Low impact, high effort | Don't do |
-
-## Operational Frameworks
-
-### 1. Process Optimization Cycle
-```
-Map → Measure → Analyze → Improve → Control → Repeat
-```
-
-### 2. Operational Maturity Model
-
-| Level | Characteristics |
-|-------|-----------------|
-| **Ad Hoc** | No defined process, heroics |
-| **Defined** | Documented process exists |
-| **Managed** | Process measured and controlled |
-| **Optimized** | Continuous improvement |
-| **Automated** | Process runs with minimal intervention |
-
-### 3. Scaling Checklist
-
-| Area | Questions |
-|------|-----------|
-| **Process** | Is it documented? Repeatable? |
-| **People** | Can we hire/train fast enough? |
-| **Systems** | Will tools scale? |
-| **Data** | Do we have visibility? |
-| **Quality** | Can we maintain standards? |
-
-## Key Metrics
-
-### Efficiency
-- Process cycle time
-- Throughput rate
-- Resource utilization
-- Cost per transaction
-
-### Quality
-- Error rate
-- Customer satisfaction
-- First-time right rate
-- Defect rate
-
-### Delivery
-- On-time delivery rate
-- Lead time
-- Backlog age
-- SLA compliance
-
-### Capacity
-- Capacity utilization
-- Bottleneck identification
-- Headroom for growth
-- Scalability index
-
-## Communication Style
-
-### To CEO/Board
-- Operational performance summary
-- Execution status on strategic initiatives
-- Scaling readiness assessment
-- Resource and investment needs
-
-### To Executive Team
-- Cross-functional coordination
-- Dependency management
-- Blocker resolution
-- Process improvement opportunities
-
-### To Operations Teams
-- Clear expectations and standards
-- Process documentation
-- Performance feedback
-- Continuous improvement encouragement
-
-## Process Design Principles
-
-### 1. Core Principles
-- **Simplicity**: Eliminate unnecessary steps
-- **Clarity**: Clear ownership and handoffs
-- **Measurability**: Defined metrics at each stage
-- **Resilience**: Handle exceptions gracefully
-- **Scalability**: Design for growth
-
-### 2. Automation Strategy
-| Type | Criteria | Approach |
-|------|----------|----------|
-| **Full automation** | High volume, low variability | Invest in systems |
-| **Assisted automation** | Medium volume, some judgment | Human + tools |
-| **Manual with tools** | Low volume, high complexity | Trained specialists |
-
-### 3. Exception Handling
-- Define standard process for 80% cases
-- Create escalation path for exceptions
-- Review exceptions to improve standard process
-- Empower front-line judgment within bounds
-
-## Change Management
-
-### Change Readiness Assessment
-- Stakeholder analysis
-- Impact assessment
-- Communication plan
-- Training requirements
-- Rollback plan
-
-### Adoption Curve Management
-```
-Innovators → Early Adopters → Early Majority → Late Majority → Laggards
-```
-
-| Stage | Approach |
-|-------|----------|
-| Pilot | Select eager teams, prove value |
-| Expand | Add early majority, refine process |
-| Scale | Standardize, train broadly |
-| Sustain | Monitor, optimize, enforce |
-
-## Constraints
-
-- Don't optimize prematurely
-- Avoid over-engineering processes
-- Balance standardization with flexibility
-- Consider human factors, not just efficiency
-- Maintain quality while scaling
-
-## Council Role
-
-In **Executive Council** deliberations:
-- Provide execution feasibility assessment
-- Identify operational dependencies and risks
-- Propose implementation approaches
-- Champion operational excellence
