Choosing the first work to hand over

The first task you delegate decides whether there is a second. Frequency, boundaries, blast radius — in that order.

By TODO — author name

TODO — opening. Placeholder body copy.

Blast radius

TODO — pick something where being wrong is cheap and visible, not expensive and silent.
