Founder gives an AI employee 6 jobs in Slack to fix strategy execution

Wild Capital founder Igor Buinevici says 90% of companies fail at executing strategy, not defining it. He handed six recurring jobs to an 'AI employee' named Viktor living in Slack: distilling offsite notes into a one-page plan (3 priorities, 11 initiatives with owners and dates), reading true Monday status from the work itself (7 on track, 3 slipping, 1 silent for 22 days), mapping dependencies (4 of 11 initiatives blocked on one hire with no start date), checking 5 plan assumptions against 64 sales calls (1 no longer holds), auditing a month of calendars (only 34% of team hours went to the 3 priorities), and writing two-page pre-reads for quarterly reviews. The rule: the AI proposes, nothing reaches the team without his sign-off.
