The critical path.

The three steps where the biggest share of calendar time is sitting right now. Compressing the wait on these three would shorten the process more than compressing the other steps combined.

95% of this process is wait time.

Active work is happening in pockets. Calendar time is dominated by gaps between hands. This is normal for founder-led businesses; it's also the largest single source of compounding cost. The leverage is in the gaps, not the work.
