Each task has a Lead who owns the cognitive labor — the research, decisions, and reporting back — and a Support who executes with full autonomy, never needing to ask "how" or "when." When you're genuinely figuring something out together, use Co-lead. Tasks can only move columns once they pass the stage gates below.
L
Lead
Owns the 4Rs: Research, Reach out, Report back, decide on Result. Carries the invisible thinking work.
S
Support
Executes the task completely and autonomously. Should never need to ask Lead for instructions mid-task.
C
Co-lead
Both partners plan, execute, and evaluate together. No single person owns the thinking — you're in it as a team.
Definition of ready— before In progress
✓Clear verb — task starts with an action (Schedule, Buy, Call)
✓Role mode set — Lead and Support are assigned
✓Notes added — Support has the context, logins, and tools to execute
✓Deadline or Blocker set — "Complete by" date or Blocker field is filled
Definition of done— before Done
✓Loop closed — partner or relevant party notified
✓Evidence of success — outcome is visible (on calendar, in pantry)
✓Loose ends handled — nothing left to chase down
✓Mental delete — Lead can fully let go of this task
🔒 Pro tip: If a task can't pass the gate, it doesn't proceed. This is how we protect our time and peace of mind.
