The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with business.
Here's the diagnostic framework I use for this exact type of problem.
**Most likely culprit:** hiring too fast. This accounts for roughly 53% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. start has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** an assumption baked into your setup that isn't valid in your situation.
To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
