Tying a role to an outcome it controls

• For each role, which business number does it move?
• Can the person actually control that number?
• What are they measured on today, and does it correlate with the business number?
• Who owns the number when two people share it?

• current measures per role
• the business numbers those measures are meant to move
• whether the two moved together

• Activity measured instead of outcome
• Outcomes owned by nobody or by everybody

• If
  A role is measured on activity
  Then
  Replace it with the nearest outcome the person genuinely controls.
• If
  The person cannot control the outcome
  Then
  Do not assign it — that is a management failure dressed as accountability.
• If
  Two people share one number
  Then
  Split the number or name a single owner.

Rewrite one role as a single controllable outcome with a measurement date, and review it after one month.

Read after 30 days.

• The outcome is measurable without argument
• It moved, or the reason it did not is factual

• The outcome turns out to be outside the person's control — rewrite rather than enforce

• The rewrite works → Apply to the next role.
• It does not → The constraint is upstream of the role.

Aury can carry out: read company, prepare document, create task, file memory. Specialists involved: operations, strategy.

Your approval: Changes to anyone's role or measurement are the founder's decision.

This needs employment review — get a qualified professional to look at your specifics before anything is signed or sent.

Applies where there is more than one person doing the work.

Changing how someone is measured can affect their contractual terms. In many jurisdictions this requires consultation or consent — take employment advice before changing terms.
