The Operations Audit
Find out exactly where your week is going.
Forty-five minutes of your time. A written plan with every time leak I find — ranked, priced, and honest about what you can do yourself. $1,500, credited in full toward any fix I build for you.
The guarantee, in writing
If I can't find you at least five hours a week to win back, the audit is free. Full refund, keep the report.
The process
Four steps. You can stop after any of them.
-
Step 1
A 15-minute call. Free.
You tell me what's eating your week. I tell you honestly whether I can help. No slides, no pitch. If a full audit isn't worth it for you, I'll say so on this call.
-
Step 2
A 45-minute walk-through.
We sit down (in person or on a call, recorded so I can re-listen) and you show me how the work actually runs — from the phone ringing to the invoice going out. I ask questions. I don't prescribe anything yet.
-
Step 3
A written plan you own.
You get a short, plain-English report: every time leak I found, ranked by impact against effort — with what each fix costs, how long it takes to set up, and how many hours it gives back. Plus a four-day quick-start you can do yourself.
-
Step 4
A review call. Then it's your move.
We walk through the report together. Do it yourself with the plan — genuinely fine. Or hire me to build, and the full $1,500 audit fee comes off the price.
The deliverable
What the report actually contains.
Not a slide deck of trends. A short document about your business that you could hand to anyone — me, an employee, a different contractor — and have them act on it. Plain English, real numbers, no jargon.
It's built from the recording of our walk-through, cross-checked against the patterns I've seen across the local businesses I've studied, and every recommendation carries its own price tag and setup time — including the ones that cost nothing.

Executive summary
The one page that matters: your biggest time leaks, what fixing them is worth per month, and the hours per week you get back.
- 02
Impact vs. effort map
Every finding placed on a simple grid, so you can see at a glance what's a quick win and what's a bigger project.
- 03
Recommendations, priced
Each fix with the tool or build it needs, what it costs, how long setup takes, and the hours it saves — line by line.
- 04
Four-day quick start
Ten minutes a day for four days, in order. Most of the benefit of the report, before you spend another dollar.
- 05
The math
Hours returned per week × what your hour is worth − tool costs = what this is worth to you per month. In actual numbers.
The price, plainly
$1,500 — and it counts as a deposit.
If the report convinces you to hire me for any fix — a missed-call system, a quote tracker, a rebuilt website — the full $1,500 comes off that price. If you'd rather take the plan and run with it yourself, that's a real option and I'll say so when it's the right one.
And if I can't find five hours a week? You get your money back and keep the report. The risk of this going badly for you is forty-five minutes.
A worked example of "the math" page
- Hours returned / week
- 7
- What your hour is worth
- $85
- New tool costs / month
- −$60
- Back in your month
- ≈ $2,320
Illustrative numbers — your report runs this with yours. If the math doesn't clear the audit fee many times over, I'll tell you not to buy anything.
