The Operational Audit
A deep operational diagnostic. We sit with every employee and map what they actually do all day. Then we report where AI helps, where it doesn't, and what to build on your own hardware.
We dig before we recommend.
A deep operational diagnostic. Four to eight weeks. We sit with every employee: owner, manager, frontline. We map what each one actually does all day. Then we rank what's automatable and what shouldn't be. We map where AI runs on your hardware instead of a rented API. The deliverable is a written report with a ranked build plan. Execute it with us, your team, or another firm.
We talk to every employee.
Owner, manager, frontline. Forty-five minutes each. Confidential. We're listening for the work that happens between the work. The spreadsheets nobody owns. The re-typing. The handoffs that fail every Friday.
We map the manual work.
Every repeated task gets logged with a time cost and a frequency. We watch the work happen, not just hear about it. The map is the deliverable; the recommendations come from the map.
We propose where AI helps.
A ranked list of automation candidates with build hours and expected payback. A recommended hardware plan for workloads that should stay on a workstation in your office, not a rented API.
A diagnosis, not a tool recommendation.
The Audit is six figures of consulting. Which side of the split are you on? That's the question to answer before six figures is the right number to spend.
Companies with 10–500 employees where ops feel slower than they should and nobody can point to why.
Founders who want a tool recommendation, not a diagnosis. The Operational Audit is six figures of consulting; a $20/month subscription might be the right answer for you.
A report you could hand to your CFO or your CTO.
Written audit
every role and the time-cost of each repeated task.
Ranked automation candidates
build hours and expected payback for each.
Hardware plan
what to run locally, what to keep in the cloud.

The report is the deliverable. The build is optional.
Some clients hand it to their internal team. Some pick three projects and have us build them. Some shop the report to other firms. All three are fine.
