Founder Weekly Control Reports #
Quick answer #
Founders should review sales, margin, stock movement, variances, stockout risk, and delayed payments weekly so control issues surface before they become leakage.
Problem #
Founders lose control when critical reports are reviewed too late or without clear thresholds.
