I feel like it takes a human a month to write a novel or start up a company only of you’re talking about a very constrained version of the task. Like people write novels in a month — that’s the whole premise of National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo — but they aren’t finished products, they’re first drafts. Similarly, while I’m sure you could make good progress on starting a business in a month, it seems like that would take longer to genuinely complete from start to finish. Also, it seems like it’s necessarily a task that relies on external factors: Waiting for approval to come from various agencies, hiring employees, waiting for other parties to sign contracts, etc.
