It is trial and error, by luck and persistence.
Are you a contractor? Do you bill?
You start with what you think works for you and opinionated contractors will offer alternatives if necessary.
Unreliability, lack of communication, and expectations are all on you.
Have clear goals, never delegate an abstract idea, always delegate a discrete task (refine over time.)
