FUNCTION ACCOUNTABILITY CHART
3

One name per function shows who actually runs your business
5
The Function Accountability Chart (FACe) lists every function your business needs and puts exactly one name against each. Not a team, not “we all watch it”. One person accountable for the outcome.

HOW TO USE THIS WORKBOOK
15
1Your teamList each leader once. Their names feed the dropdowns on the other sheets, so the seat count stays accurate.
16
2Current stateWrite who owns each function today, not who should. One accountable name per row. If nobody owns it, pick Nobody.
17
3Your teamRead the seat counts. The founder should hold two seats at most once the business is scaling.
18
4Future stateName who should hold each seat at your target revenue and what has to be true for that to happen.
19
5One movePick the single seat change that matters most in the next 90 days. Review the whole chart every quarter.

Drawing the chart takes ninety minutes. Holding people to it takes longer.
