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 at your loaded hourly rate, and hands you a ranked roadmap, whether you build with us or not.

What this covers

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.

Outcomes, not hours.

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

Covered by the $5,000/month retainer like everything else in the catalog, or quoted as a fixed project when the shape is clearly bounded.
