28 checkable statements across delivery, ownership, documentation, reporting and tooling. The article is the checklist; no form, no file.
Founder-led, delegated, documented, systematized: place your agency on the map, see what breaks at the next size, and the one move that graduates each stage.
Engagement shapes, hours, minimums, and what actually drives cost, with the posted-pricing argument made honestly.
The reference guide: delivery workflow, roles by team size, the systems layer, metrics, and where AI now fits in agency operations.
