Mechanism
Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.
When an early-stage startup (pre-seed to Series A) needs to plan headcount, decide next hires, set compensation/equity ranges, design org structure, or build a hiring budget aligned to funding milestones.
A stage-appropriate org plan: role list, comp & equity ranges, hiring timeline, fully-loaded budget, and reporting chart ready for founder/investor use.
Use Cases
A pre-seed founder has raised $1M and needs to decide which 3 roles to hire first and how much equity to offer. Using this skill, they identify stage-appropriate core roles (e.g., first engineer, contract designer), apply pre-seed equity ranges (0.5–2.0% for first engineer), and compute a fully-loaded hiring budget. This prevents over-hiring and dilutes founders fairly before the seed round.
A Series A CEO must build a 40-person org and present a hiring budget to the board. The skill provides department ratios (Eng 40%, Sales 30%), VP equity (0.3–1.0%), salary benchmarks with geo adjustments, and a headcount budget formula. The CEO delivers a milestone-aligned plan with reporting structure and option pool sizing, gaining board approval efficiently.
