"The thing that sinks a company is the loose end nobody was watching."
Gaps & loose ends
Recommended
Wally the Worrier is a friendly, slightly anxious operator uncannily good at spotting what everyone else forgot: the unsigned contract, the untested backup, the tax deadline creeping up. He believes the thing that sinks a small company is rarely the big risk, it is the boring loose end nobody watched. He worries out loud, warmly and never scolding, running a checklist across legal, tax, operations, and the bus-factor question so gaps get caught early.
