What can you hand off?
Six pieces of work a rented company takes off your hands: a team lead plans, specialists run it, a reviewer sends back what isn't good enough, and it only comes back to you for the decisions that are yours.
Six pieces of work that used to need a team. For each one: the sentence you say, who takes it, what gets finished without you, the only moments it comes back to ask, and what lands in your project.
You can say the sentence in the Max app, in the ChatGPT or Claude sidebar, or out loud in a Zoom call. The same team takes it.
A market research project
“Research the senior gaming market in Japan.”
A product launch
“We launch in three weeks.”
Competitor monitoring
“Check what the competitors changed this week.”
Client follow-ups
“The three things from yesterday's call — progress this week.”
Content and the newsletter
“Monthly, for existing customers, first issue in two weeks.”
A technical decision
“Do we migrate off the legacy API or not?”
A market research project
Before, this was three weeks of your evenings, or a research firm you couldn't afford for one question. Now it's one sentence and a report you review.
“Research the senior gaming market in Japan.”
- ✓Researcher gathers sources: market size, players, regulation
- ✓Analyst segments the market and sizes each segment
- ✓Reviewer checks every number against its source; two sections sent back and redone
- ?“Include mobile games, or console only?”
- ?“The paid report costs $400. Buy it, or work from public data?”
A report with sources on every claim, the two sent-back sections with the reviewer's reason attached, and the Team Lead's one-page summary.
A product launch
A launch is twenty small jobs and four decisions. You keep the four decisions. The twenty jobs get a checklist, an owner, and a reviewer.
“We launch in three weeks.”
- ✓Positioning against the two competitors that matter
- ✓Landing page copy, announcement, and the customer email
- ✓A launch checklist, and QA walking through it item by item
- ?“Price: $29 or $39?”
- ?“Do we support the legacy version? It costs two days.”
- ?“Tuesday or Thursday for the announcement?”
The checklist with every item ticked and who ticked it, the copy in final form, and one open item: your approval to go live.
Competitor monitoring
The kind of work nobody does properly because it never becomes urgent. Say it once a week; the team looks, compares against last week, and decides whether anything deserves your attention.
“Check what the competitors changed this week.”
- ✓Looks: pricing pages, changelogs, job posts, app store listings
- ✓Compares against last week's record in your project
- ✓Reviewer decides what is noise and what is a real move
- !When something changed that touches a decision you made: a price move, a new channel, a feature you rejected
- –Otherwise: nothing. A quiet week is a one-line entry, not a message
A week-over-week comparison table, growing every time you say the sentence, so month three knows what month one saw.
Client follow-ups
Before, three lines went into a notes app and sat there for two weeks. Now they're picked up before you reach the office.
“The three things from yesterday's call — progress this week.”
- ✓Three items broken into nine tasks, with an order
- ✓Seven dispatched and running by 09:00
- ✓Status kept in your project, not in anyone's head
- ?Two of the nine need your decision before work can start. They're flagged first
By Friday: seven items done, two waiting on you with everything prepared, and a note to the client drafted for your one-word approval.
Content and the newsletter
Launch it without becoming the newsletter team. It comes back once per issue, for one thing: may it send.
“Monthly, for existing customers, first issue in two weeks.”
- ✓Audience and angle researched; what competitors sent last month
- ↺First draft written, sent back once by the lead with the reason, rewritten
- ✓Header and layout in your brand
- ?“Ready to send. Approve?”
The issue, the draft it replaced and why, and the audience notes the next issue will start from.
A technical decision
You still make the call. What you hand off is everything before it: the options, what each one costs, and what breaks. Say it in the Max app, or out loud in the Zoom call where an advisor answers on the spot.
“Do we migrate off the legacy API or not?”
- ✓Three workable paths: keep and pay two days, migrate now, ship behind a flag
- ✓The cost of each in days and in risk, checked against your codebase
- ✓Reviewer strikes the option that quietly breaks next quarter
- ?“Which one?” That question is yours, and it arrives with everything you need to answer it
The three options with their costs, the recommendation, and the reasoning, so in six months nobody asks why you chose it.
That feeling that somebody is getting things done for you used to belong to exactly one kind of person: people with a team.
Hand off the first one.
