It's funny - as a solopreneur you of course have the freedom to make up whatever jobtitle suits you best and the one I ended up with a year ago was "chief human". Gotta let the agents know who is in charge.
This captures a real shift in where accountability is concentrating as AI collapses coordination costs and quietly removes the buffer of teams. Coordination has collapsed inward, leaving the individual to hold the whole shape together.
The tradeoff you identify is sharper than the usual one-person-business story: freedom from shared place and time has been replaced by concentrated accountability. Calling the individual both the system designer and the bottleneck captures why more automation can still feel heavier. I wonder which responsibility a Solo Chief should deliberately refuse to absorb first.

OK Jürgen, keep pushing I am listening.

Great to hear about your validation. Thanks!
