1. Checkbox Culture:
If your SOPs can’t deliver useful results every time, they’re just busywork. Bad forms, incomplete data, and stale templates create a false sense of confidence.
2. One-Size-Fits-None:
Evaluating every Sub the same way—regardless of scope, timing, or context—means you’ll miss the right ones and greenlight the wrong ones.
3. Gut Over Data:
If your process stops at “B+” or “medium risk,” you're flying blind. Risk should be measured in dollars, not vibes.
Want better outcomes? Rebuild your process with purpose. Don’t blame the Subcontractors if the system is setting them—and you—up to fail.
