Every decision routes back to the founder
The team is capable, the business is growing, and your calendar is full of decisions that, in theory, somebody else could be making. The reason they're coming to you isn't that they want to, it's that the standard, the context, and the rationale all live with you, and they don't want to get it wrong.
The decisions you've been making get documented as workflows and SOPs the team can run from, with the criteria and examples that explain the why behind the call. The team starts making more decisions on their own because they finally have what they need to make them well.
