How to Improve
Automate repetitive processes with AI tools before hiring. Focus on high-leverage hires who can replace 3+ roles with systems. Track this monthly and set a floor below which you pause hiring.
Ehsan's Analysis
Every E-commerce company I have advised at Seed stage that broke into top-quartile on this metric did one thing differently: they built internal tooling to track it in real-time instead of relying on monthly reports. The latency between signal and action is where value leaks. Build a dashboard that your team checks before their morning coffee.
