• From AI agents replacing senior workers to Gen Z layoffs around the world, one thing is clear: human-to-human management and governance is harder than ever.
• Given the non-deterministic nature of neural networks and transformers, startups still need to hire humans and scale orgs.

To do so, they need:

• trust‑but‑verify processes (bottom‑up by default, authoritative in crunch)
• VP‑level build‑vs‑buy math with decision records
• and operator systems of record (ATS→CRM→handbooks) for onboarding, traceability, and visibility.

We present lessons from managers and operators at FAANGM, Alchemy, Meter, Nutanix, and more in a 1m checklist for founders whose vibe-coded prototypes aren't professionalizing themselves automatically into scalable companies.
