Scaling Your BB1

Your Business Brain starts small. Here's how to grow it without chaos.

Stage 1: Solo (0-10 Projects)

At this stage, keep it simple:

• One root CLAUDE.md
• Flat project structure
• Manual intake processing

Stage 2: Growing (10-50 Projects)

Time for organization:

• Archive completed projects
• Group by client or type
• Add automated intake

Stage 3: Team (50+ Projects)

Enterprise patterns:

• Shared network drive
• Role-based access
• Automated reporting
• Integration with CRM

Key Principles

1. Archive Aggressively

Move completed projects to Archive/. Keep active folders clean.

2. Use Prefixes

_intake/, _context/, _vault/ - prefixes sort system folders to top.

3. Automate Repetition

If you do it weekly, automate it. Slash commands are your friend.

4. Document Decisions

Every scaling decision goes in Operations/_context/decisions.md.

Conclusion

Scaling isn't about more folders - it's about better organization. Start simple, add structure as needed.
