There’s a stage we see in most growing companies.

There’s a stage we see in most growing companies.
Not failure. Not crisis. Not even stagnation.

The stage is called: “It kinda works.”
Leads are coming.
Deals are closing.
Revenue exists.

But:
– growth is inconsistent
– results depend on people
– decisions feel reactive
– systems exist, but don’t connect

Nothing is broken enough to panic. But nothing is stable enough to scale.
This is the most dangerous stage. Because “it kinda works” creates comfort.
And comfort delays structure. Until complexity grows. And chaos becomes expensive.

Most companies don’t get stuck because things fail.
They get stuck because things sort of work.
Where does your growth currently live: in systems, or in “it kinda works”?
