Operations Audit

Most teams have a ghost employee: ten to thirty hours a week of manual work nobody tracks. The audit finds it, names it, prices it in real dollars, and hands you a ranked roadmap — whether you build with us or not.

What we focus on

  • 01

    Automation ROI, ranked

    Every recurring manual process, costed at your loaded hourly rate and sorted by payback period.

  • 02

    Hidden coupling risks

    Where one brittle spreadsheet or copy-paste step is quietly load-bearing for the whole operation.

  • 03

    Vendor and model exposure

    Which tools and AI models you depend on, what they cost, and where a price change or deprecation would hurt.

  • 04

    A first-90-days plan

    The three-to-five highest-leverage automations, in order, with effort and expected return.

What you walk away with

  • A written manual-work inventory grouped by function
  • Real-dollar cost per workflow
  • A prioritized 90-day automation roadmap
