Key Takeaways

  • Scaling risks span five categories: financial, operational, people, culture, and legal.
  • Cash flow risk is the number one scaling killer—stress-test projections at 30% and 50% below expected performance.
  • Quality degradation during scaling creates both direct costs (rework, claims) and indirect costs (reputation damage).
  • Build quality control systems before scaling, not after quality problems emerge.
