Operations Audit

Free 45-minute Operations Audit

This is the best place to start. A structured 45-minute conversation to diagnose three things:

  1. The pressure — what decision are you actually trying to make, and where is margin, cash, or operational control at risk
  2. What’s knowable — what evidence you already have, what’s missing, and whether waste can be located cleanly
  3. Feasibility — what it would realistically take to settle the question and what ROI looks like

You’ll leave with an honest recommendation: Answer, System, Engine, or no fit. No commitment, no follow-up sales sequence.


What this is for

Operators who suspect money is leaking but can’t pinpoint where:

  • Margins declining with no clear explanation
  • Staffing costs rising faster than revenue
  • Revenue leakage you can’t fully explain
  • Collections or cash conversion slowing down
  • Capacity, scheduling, or utilization guesswork
  • A turnaround or cost-reduction effort that needs operational clarity
  • Reports that describe the past but never recommend the next move

If the ROI path isn’t believable, I’ll tell you that too. That filter saves both of us time.


What happens after

If there’s a fit, you’ll get a scoped proposal with fixed cost and a clear outcome before any work starts:

  • Answer — one-time analysis on a real decision (typically starts around ~$3k)
  • System — repeatable workflow or tool your team runs internally (typically from ~$5k)
  • Engine — ongoing decision system on a fixed monthly basis (anchored around ~$5k/mo)
