"Outsourcing didn't work for us" usually hides a model-fit failure.
Myth: the team was bad → Reality: good engineers, wrong model.
Myth: we needed more oversight → Reality: we needed the model that fit our bandwidth (not more meetings).
Myth: outsourcing doesn't work → Reality: it works when the model fits, fails when it doesn't.
Augment where you steer; hand off where you don't. Most founders blend both.
The reframe turns "that failed us" into a decision you can get right next time.
