Shownotes
Nobody agreed on what done looked like. The handover happened anyway. That is where it fell apart.
This episode is the practical follow-up to Wednesday. Skye and Robbie walk through the specific hiring and handover process they use with ADHD founders, including what they have lost money figuring out so you do not have to.
The hiring side covers why video applications and paid test projects replace interviews, how to write a role description that filters for initiative rather than compliance, and what it looks like when you have found the right person versus when you are about to make an expensive mistake.
The handover side covers the 10-80-10 rule, writing a one-sentence definition of done before anything starts, naming your re-entry triggers upfront, building a decision boundary so the team knows what comes back to you and what does not, and scheduling check-ins so the anxiety has somewhere to go other than a late-night message.
They also cover the two failure modes when none of this is set up: the founder absorbs everything back, or the team stops trying.
What We Cover:
• How to write a role description specific enough to attract the right person and filter out everyone else
• Why paid test projects show you more in two hours than an interview shows you in two rounds
• The 10-80-10 rule and how to use it to stay connected without pulling work back through the middle
• What a definition of done actually looks like in writing, and why naming your re-entry triggers before the project starts changes everything
• How scheduled check-ins replace anxiety-driven re-entry and give the founder's worry somewhere structured to land
