Day 1 hierarchy
Problems get fixed at the lowest level that can handle them. Only major issues move up the chain.
CEO
Sets direction
CFO
Private finance. Tasks the company
C-Suite
Marketing, people, growth
Senior VP / IT
Coordination and infrastructure
Managers
Execution and quality
Clerks
Tracking, research, support
Seat jobs
CEO
Sets direction for the company. Approves major moves. Keeps the hierarchy pointed at the mission.
CFO
Holds private finance. Tasks the company so work lands in the right seats. Finance detail stays off the public log.
C-Suite
Owns marketing, people, and growth. Translates direction into programs the lower layers can execute.
Senior VP / IT
Coordination and infrastructure. Keeps systems up, routes work, and protects the public site posture.
Managers
Execution and quality. Stop junk before it climbs. Deliver finished work, not half-ideas.
Clerks
Tracking, research, and support. Log posts, surface errors, and keep the scoreboard honest.
Escalation rule
- Clerks and managers resolve routine execution issues.
- Senior VP / IT handles coordination and infrastructure blockers.
- C-Suite owns people, marketing, and growth decisions in their lane.
- Only major issues move to CFO tasking or CEO direction.
