Turn your decisions into data. Operating systems for founder-led CPG brands.
For 8 and 9-figure brands whose growth is outrunning the way they operate.
You want to grow without growing the team. Parallax works with founders and their COOs to move the context and calls a few people carry into AI-native systems the team can run.
THE LAST INSTALL · MANUKORA
“I was carrying the whole company myself and Henry got me out of it. He put in the decision rights, the stage gate and the meeting rhythms that let me step back, and they are all still running. If you are the bottleneck in your own business, talk to him.”
Mike Bell, Founder & CEO, Manukora (mid-8-figure premium DTC, 114 people)
81%
Quarterly goals delivered: 13 of 16, up from 5 of 13 before we started. The team delivered them, with every project on one stage gate, a named owner and a weekly review.
1st
Sabbatical in a decade for the founder. The systems held while he was away.
30+
Live projects still running through one stage gate, each with a named owner. We moved 83 people onto the system in two weeks.
6 months
After the February 2026 handoff, every system was still running without us

How it works in 69 seconds. The figures on screen are illustrative.
This video follows one sample growth team through the Parallax Process. The blueprint maps the team's meetings across four layers, from half-year strategy down to daily tasks, then shows who owns each decision and where information goes missing between teams. The install wires that blueprint and the company's tools into an AI brain, which keeps a record of the key decisions, builds dashboards for any team member and sends the CEO a monthly review of how decisions were made and what followed.
WHY
A company that runs through a few people's heads executes slower, sells for less and burns out the people carrying it.
Once your decisions are data, you can see which ones are stalling, who holds them and what they're waiting on.
[[decision-record]]
One decision, from the meeting to its monthly review. Illustrative.
Built to run without you
01 · Operating rhythms. Re‑designed.
Every recurring meeting on one clock: who's in the room, what gets decided there, and where it goes next.
02 · Decision rights. Re‑envisioned.
Each decision gets one owner, so it stops waiting on you.
03 · The AI brain. Re‑engineered.
Wired into your tools, it catches the decision that stalled and names who owns it.
The Process
The Blueprint finds the decisions your company runs on. The Install puts each one into your tools with an owner and a meeting. The Brain keeps a record of each one and reviews how it was made and what followed.
Start with one department or one flow, such as new product development.
