The COO is one of the most important roles at any company and at almost every startup it’s also the one role nobody actually hires for.
Someone has to run the operating rhythm, catch what falls between teams, keep the org structure sane and close the gaps before they turn into emergencies and until there’s budget for that seat, the founder is the one doing it.
The problem isn’t effort. A COO’s job isn’t one thing you get good at in the margins of your day, it’s a set of functions that all need attention on a schedule. Do all of that on top of the job you already had, and you’re capped, not because you’re not capable of it, but because there is only one of you and the role needs full attention on all of it at once.
Claude can run this layer instead. 14 prompts, one for each function above, each engineered to execute the job end to end with no supervision once you hit send:

Ops Health Dashboard
