✦ The problem

It happened one decision at a time.
- The agency optimizes acquisition.
- The logistics consultant optimizes fulfillment.
- The technology firm optimizes implementation.
- The banker optimizes capital.
Each one competent inside its lane — and none of them accountable for the result you actually care about.
So the founder becomes the integration layer.
The Triangle removes that layer.
