Waiting on Brendan
Pick which of the two you want to meet
Sitting ten days.
What good looks like
- ·Would run a small local team without us hovering
- ·Calm when a crew is short and a client is angry
- ·Good with the people the company already has, not just the ones they'd bring
This is what the need asks for. We compare what someone showed against this — we never score the person.
How fast this one moves
Months, not weeks. This one ends with Brendan.
This one takes months, and that's fine. Silence still isn't.
Its own clock
Last looked at: today. Fine for now. This kind of need gets 21 days before we call it late — 21 days left.
Anything that's someone to found it gets 21 days before we call it late. A different kind of need gets a different number — that's the point.
People we already know
Hey — what about Mara?
She was turned down for the security officer role, eight months back. But she asked about running a local team, and the maintenance venture just opened. That's the whole reason.
What this need asks for, and what answers it
Calm when a crew is short and a client is angry
“She asked what happens to the existing crew if we bring someone in above them. Nobody else asked that.”
Devon wrote this down, second conversation — somebody heard this
Good with the people the company already has, not just the ones they'd bring
“Running site operations for a regional facilities company.”
what they're doing now
Would run a small local team without us hovering
Nothing written down answers this yet. It’s a question for Mara, not a mark against them.
This compares what the need asks for against what people wrote down. There is no score under it, and there never will be.
What we don't know: Whether she's still looking. We haven't spoken in forty-one days.

Hey — what about Marcus?
He built a maintenance company to forty staff and sold it. He told Brendan he'd love to run something again — not alone this time.

a plain fact on their record
Would run a small local team without us hovering
Nothing written down answers this yet. It’s a question for Marcus, not a mark against them.
This compares what the need asks for against what people wrote down. There is no score under it, and there never will be.
What we don't know: Whether 'not alone this time' means a co-founder, or just a board. Worth asking him.

Where we got to
Nobody has written anything down against this need yet. When you come out of a conversation about it, write down what you heard — a sentence is enough, and it's what everyone reads next time.
