Scapegoat
Fractional Chief Accountability Officers. They sign everything, so you don't.
W25ActiveB2BHR TechLegalEvery company eventually needs someone to take responsibility. Historically that person has been chosen late, under pressure, from among people you'd rather keep. Scapegoat lets you choose early.
A Scapegoat CAO joins your org chart on day one and signs what needs signing: the attestations, the certifications, the "I have reviewed and approve" on decisions made in rooms they were never in. When something goes wrong, your CAO is on call to be blamed, with a guaranteed public apology inside four hours and a resignation "to spend time with family" inside 24.
Plans scale with your needs: Resignation, Congressional Testimony, and Custodial. Our goats are well compensated, with a monthly retainer, a per-scandal bonus, and a reputation-laundering sabbatical between placements. Several are on their sixth company. One has resigned in disgrace from two competitors in the same quarter, and both were thrilled with the service.
