## Instructions

Use sustainable capacity, not your best week. Make trade-offs visible. This is a proposal for discussion, not a binding commitment or approval of financial/legal risk.

## Fictional worked example — not Truffle facts

Fictional Alex: “I can sustain 12 hours/week: 6 selling, 3 discovery, 3 coordination. My outside role takes 30 hours. I can meet 06:00–08:00 California Tuesdays/Thursdays, not Fridays; unavailable 10–17 December. I want customer discovery ownership, not finance operations. No personal guarantees. If sales needs 20 hours, we must remove another commitment or narrow scope.”
