What it does
If your quarterly goals become wall decorations that no one looks at after the first week, your goal-setting system is wrong for your stage. Startups move too fast for rigid goals, but without clear objectives each person decides independently what matters. This prompt creates an objectives and results system tailored to your startup's stage and size — flexible enough to adapt to change, yet structured enough to maintain focus. Use it when the team doesn't know what to prioritize, when goals exist but no one tracks them, or when you want to establish a goal-setting routine that survives day-to-day chaos.

- When the team doesn't know what to prioritize, when goals exist but tracking falls through, or when you need a goal-setting routine resilient enough to survive day-to-day chaos
