This book uses the phrase 'OCD patterns' in the everyday business sense: the obsessive checking, perfecting, and controlling habits that quietly cap a company's growth. Clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder is a real medical condition that deserves professional care, and this book is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. If checking, contamination fears, or intrusive thoughts are disrupting your daily life, please work with a qualified mental health professional. What follows is a business and nervous-system framework for founders — written with deep respect for both.
