Maintain operational continuity while the founder is traveling — without slowing decisions or creating confusion.
When a founder is traveling, the risk is not absence.
It is delayed decisions, unclear authority, missed context, and work that quietly stalls while waiting for availability.
This file exists to prevent that.
What this file is for
The Founder Travel Continuity File is a ready-to-use PDF designed for situations where a founder or primary decision-holder will be intermittently unavailable due to travel.
It is built for:
- Founders and owner-operators
- Solo decision-makers
- Small teams without formal HR or operations support
- Anyone whose availability changes due to travel across time zones
This is not a policy document or a long-term plan.
It is a short-term continuity file focused on clarity, authority, and forward momentum during travel.
