Strategy
Pricing, hiring, engagement models, and how to think about growth without the buzzwords.
Strategy is the topic where buzzwords go to multiply, so this thread tries to do the opposite: plain talk about how growth-stage teams actually make decisions. Pricing a project versus a retainer. When to hire an agency and when to embed one into your team. How to scope work so you're not signing an open-ended hourly meter. We write from the operator's chair, not the strategy deck, because we've been on both sides of the invoice. A recurring theme: most "growth" problems are really plumbing problems wearing a nicer outfit, you don't have a top-of-funnel issue, you have an attribution issue hiding which channel already works. We'll also say the quiet parts out loud about how agencies are built, a senior-only bench beats a big org chart with junior hand-offs and an account manager relaying messages. If you want frameworks with no follow-through, this isn't the thread. If you want how we'd actually decide, it is.
