=== Assistant: Good. ===
Good. This is concrete, and it’s already clear that Sterling’s impact is structural, not chaotic. That means we’re not here to “fix” it — we’re here to right-size it so it stays clean.

I’m going to do what I did with Albert’s List:
# Normalize the load
# Identify where risk could creep in
# Ask the next interview question

No prescriptions yet.

==== ### ====
* Bi-weekly agenda planning (1 hr / 2 weeks)
* Bi-weekly team calls (120 min)
* Bi-weekly newsletter (derived from meetings)
* Bi-weekly check-ins with sub-team S1s (1 hr / 2 weeks)

This is predictable. This is fine.

===== - Annual team away (co-lead) =====
* Roster and admin maintenance

Also reasonable, provided boundaries exist.

So far, nothing here screams “reaction.”
But that’s not the right test.

==== Not problems yet — just pressure vectors to watch: ====
* Emotional responsibility bleeding into personal time
* Over-preparation for leadership moments
* Feeling responsible for others’ engagement or outcomes
* Admin tasks expanding without notice
* Sterling becoming the place where you “make up” for constraint elsewhere

We’re not assuming these are happening. We’re checking.

==== Which of your Sterling responsibilities, if any, creates the most ''internal pressure'' for you — even if it doesn’t take the most time? ====

Pick one, or say “none.”
One sentence max.

This tells us whether Sterling needs containment or just affirmation.
