If you're a solo or small-team founder, your ops stack should fit on one screen. Here's how we keep ours lean while still shipping.
Every extra tool is a tax on your attention. Here's the short list we actually use to run a multi-product studio with a tiny team.
The stack
- One source of truth for customers and conversations
- One dashboard for money in / money out
- One queue for exceptions (the only place humans look)
- One place for docs — and it's short
What we deliberately skip
Meeting-heavy planning rituals. "Scaled" project management tools. Slack channels per feature. If the business can't be understood by looking at three tabs, it's too complicated.
