May Mor - Scale Architect
For Founders, Execs & VCs

Aligning people, systems, and processes.

I help operators leverage the three layers that actually run a company. So growth scales the business instead of breaking it. Risk management, KPI architecture, AI transformation - same discipline, three lenses.

See. Align.
Build to last.

Three things I do well - and most consultants don't.

See what's invisible

I find the leaks, bottlenecks, and risks before they show up in the numbers. While there's still time to fix them cheaply.

Manage the risk

Risk management is my muscle. Prioritize what matters. Contain what's brittle. Prepare for what's coming - so problems get smaller, not larger.

Build lean & unbreakable

Flexible, agile systems that bend without breaking. Designed so your company can grow fast, stay fast, and use minimum resources.

Across people, processes, and technology. AI when the diagnostic shows it earns its way in - not as the default.

The 10x Rule.
Gaps caught late cost 10x more.

Every gap between your people, systems, and processes that you don't catch at the current scale costs roughly 10x more to fix at the next one. Operator-led diagnostic catches it cheap. Read the full 10x Rule article ->

Every assessment surfaces three things:

Leaks

Where time, money, and attention drain quietly. Process inefficiencies. Tool fragmentation. Decision delays. Handoff failures.

Bottlenecks

Where work piles up and waits. Founder dependencies. Single approval points. Manual reconciliation. Knowledge silos.

Risks

Where systems are fragile but no one's measuring. Architectural debt. AI compliance gaps. Regulatory exposure. Talent concentration.

Three dimensions.
All three. Always.

The leverage doesn't sit in one place. It hides across people, systems, and processes - usually in the overlap. I look at all three. Best practices are a starting point, not the answer - what we build fits your culture, budget, and goals.

01

People

Culture, leadership, decision rhythm, founder dependencies, team dynamics. The layer where the next phase of growth usually breaks first.

See use cases
02

Processes

Workflows, handoffs, governance, approval cascades, operational leaks. The day-to-day cost of running a company in a way it's outgrown.

See use cases
03

Technology

Tech debt, system fragility, scaling constraints, data foundation, AI readiness. AI shows up here - when the diagnostic earns it.

See use cases

The work, framed by
the problem it solves.

Most operators don't search for "Scale Readiness Assessment." They search for what's keeping them up. Here's the work, framed the same way.

Every engagement starts with a free 30-min intro call. If there's fit, a fixed-fee diagnostic comes next. The recommendations always include the cheapest and most DIY options first. Implementation only when the diagnostic shows you genuinely can't or shouldn't do it in-house.
01 Diagnose 02 Recommend 03 You decide 04 Implement
02

Our KPIs aren't telling us anything anymore.

  • 47 metrics on the dashboard, decisions still feel hard
  • Teams hit their KPIs while the company loses money
  • Dashboard shows green and the CFO still has a bad feeling

Three-Pillar KPI Audit. Outcome / Execution / Foundation. Surface Goodhart traps and Conway's-Law violations. Hand back a smaller, coupled, honest measurement stack with a metric registry template.

What You Get Back

30-50% of leadership time recovered from "is this number even real?" Earlier signal on what's actually working.

Cost of Waiting

Wells-Fargo-class failures don't announce themselves. The dashboard works exactly until it doesn't.

How we'd actually work: Most clients walk away with the metric registry + agent-layer reference architecture from the article. ~80% of the work is DIY.
03

We've spent money on AI tools and aren't seeing returns.

  • ChatGPT licenses everywhere, no measurable productivity lift
  • Pilots that never become production
  • Last year's AI strategy deck still hasn't shipped

AI Adoption Diagnostic. Map where AI actually earns its way in across people, systems, and processes. Identify the 2-3 highest-leverage workflows. Reject the bad fits.

What You Get Back

Stop paying for tools nobody uses. Real productivity gains in the workflows where AI fits. Clarity on what NOT to automate.

Cost of Waiting

The compounding AI tax. Configuration burden grows. Junior talent doesn't develop judgment because the AI did the work first.

How we'd actually work: Most recommendations use tools you already own + workflows your team can implement next week. Custom implementation only when the diagnostic shows you can't do it in-house.
04

We're scaling and I don't know if the foundation holds.

  • Hiring fast but onboarding is broken
  • New layers of management adding friction, not reducing it
  • Decisions taking longer as the org grows

Growth-Readiness diagnostic. Same People + Systems + Processes lens, specifically targeted at where the company is going, not where it is.

What You Get Back

Know which leaks will get expensive at 2x size before you hit 2x. Hire into a working org, not a broken one.

Cost of Waiting

Scaling broken systems means breaking them faster.

How we'd actually work: A pre-flight checklist your team owns. Most clients execute it themselves over the following quarter.
05

I need a senior operator in a seat I'm not ready to hire full-time.

  • Critical function with no one running it
  • Founder doing the COO / Head-of-Product job because there's no one else
  • Key hire search is taking forever and the gap keeps growing

Fractional / Interim Executive. 3-12 month embedded engagement. Remote, hands-on, operator-led. Head of Product, Fractional COO, Interim PMO, AI Lead.

What You Get Back

Senior leadership in the seat now, without the full-time commitment. The work documented so the eventual hire inherits a working machine.

Cost of Waiting

Every month without that seat filled is compounding friction the org will pay for later.

How we'd actually work: This is a longer engagement by design - skipping the "DIY first" rule for obvious reasons. Custom scope, monthly retainer.
06

I'm investing and want a real operator's read.

  • Founders pitch well but you can't tell if the org can actually execute
  • Previous portcos looked great on paper, hit operational walls at Series B
  • The financial DD is solid; the operational DD doesn't exist

Investment Due Diligence. Same diagnostic muscle, applied to target companies pre-investment - or to existing portcos during quarterly reviews. Operational, technical, AI readiness.

What You Get Back

Catch the operational risk the financial DD missed. Catch the team risk the founder interviews missed. Before you commit capital.

Cost of Waiting

Post-investment, you find these things at board meetings.

How we'd actually work: 1-2 weeks per target. Fixed fee. Written read on the deal you can hand to your IC.
07

My team needs to actually USE AI in their work, not just hear about it.

  • AI strategy exists on paper, daily work hasn't changed
  • One or two people use it well, the rest don't
  • The gap between "AI-curious" and "AI-effective" keeps growing

Custom AI Workshop + Knowledge Transfer. Built around the team's actual workflows, not generic AI 101. Each participant leaves with 2-3 prompts or agents they use in their job next week.

What You Get Back

AI literacy at the team level. The 2-3 workflows you wanted automated, owned by the people who do the work.

Cost of Waiting

The configuration tax grows. People configure tools instead of using them.

How we'd actually work: Half-day or full-day workshop. Pre-workshop discovery + hands-on session + 90-day adoption roadmap. Often standalone, sometimes part of a larger engagement.

How this stacks up
against the alternatives.

Most operators considering external help look at one of four other models. Here's how they actually compare - and where one of them is genuinely the better call.

Delivery model Remote-first, async-friendly On-site team residency Mixed remote / on-site Mostly remote Wherever your team works
Who delivers the work One operator (10+ yrs fintech, M.Sc AI) + AI tooling 5-15 person team: partner + manager + associates (mostly MBAs, rarely shipped product) 2-5 person team, mix of ex-operators and career consultants One vetted operator (the fractional exec) One full-time hire
Implementation philosophy DIY-first. Recommendations list the cheapest and most in-house option first. I only sell implementation when the diagnostic shows you can't. Discovery designed to surface follow-on work. Pilots, roll-outs, embedded delivery - billable hours scale. Project-scoped. Some stay for implementation, some hand off. Embedded - they do the work, knowledge transfer is incidental. Owns the work permanently. Knowledge stays in the org.
Scope flexibility Custom. Same diagnosis can produce different fixes for different companies. Playbook-driven; consistent framework across clients Tied to the firm's specialty (pricing, M&A integration, etc.) Tied to the operator's prior career Tied to one person's experience
Commitment shape One short engagement. Money-back guarantee. No retainer. Multi-phase, often multi-year Fixed project, sometimes followed by retainer 3-12 month minimum Permanent (with severance risk)
Best fit when Series A-C, regulated or scaling, you want a senior read fast and want to execute most of it yourselves $500M+ org, board-level visibility, multi-year transformation budget, the brand on the deck matters You need deep domain expertise (pricing, M&A integration, regulatory) that justifies the spend You need someone in a seat for 6-12 months, not a one-time read You're sure the role is permanent and the right person is available

Listed prices apply to Israeli companies and fully remote engagements anywhere in the world. On-site work outside Israel adds travel and per-diem fees, quoted per trip.

This isn't a knock on the other models. They're built for different jobs. Here's when one of them is actually the better choice:

Pick Big 4 instead whenthe deck matters more than the answer

You're a Fortune 500 board reviewing a $50M+ transformation, you need McKinsey on the cover slide for political cover, and your timeline is measured in fiscal years. Their machinery is built for that. Mine isn't.

Pick a boutique instead whenyou need narrow domain depth

You have a specific problem that lives in one discipline: pricing strategy, M&A integration, FDA regulatory, supply-chain optimization. Boutiques that live in that domain every day will beat me on technical depth there. I won't pretend otherwise.

Pick a fractional marketplace instead whenyou need a seat filled, not a read written

You already know what's broken and you need a senior operator doing the work part-time for 6-12 months. That's not what a 6-week diagnostic gives you. Bolster, Continuum, Chief of Staff Network - they're built exactly for this.

Hire in-house instead whenthe work is permanent and the right person is on the market

If the role is genuinely permanent and you can find the right operator within your hiring timeline, hire. Consultants are bridges, not destinations. My job is to make myself unnecessary - sometimes that means pointing you toward the hire.

If your situation matches the left column, the next move is a free 30-min intro call.

Three Audiences.
One Approach.

Growing Companies

Stay small, fast, and stable - until you're truly ready to scale.

  • Build processes that won't collapse at 3x headcount
  • Avoid premature complexity
  • Prepare infrastructure for the growth phase ahead
  • Keep the team lean and autonomous

Established Organizations

Transition into the AI era. Become faster, leaner, and more productive.

  • Modernize legacy processes and tech debt
  • Adopt AI where it actually moves the needle
  • Restructure teams for speed without losing stability
  • Transfer knowledge so change actually sticks

VCs & Investors

See past the deck. Know what you're really investing in.

  • Pre-investment technical & operational due diligence
  • AI readiness assessment of target companies
  • Founder & team evaluation under pressure
  • Post-investment value creation for portfolio companies

The decisions are
the organization.

Every company is shaped by the decisions its leaders make - the dozens of small judgments per day that compound into culture and results.

I build the layer underneath those decisions: executive thinking that stays clear under pressure, judgment that compounds with time. The organization downstream is productive, durable, flexible, innovative, and lean - by structure, not by accident.
