Self-assessment

Is a diagnostic worth doing now?

It takes about a minute.

Tick the statements that are true for your operation. The score tells you whether a conversation makes sense yet. If it does, send us your result.

Your situation

Tick what is true for your operation.

01We run more than one system, and they don't share data with each other.
02Some of our senior operators or engineers know things that aren't written down anywhere.
03We usually find out about problems after it is too late to prevent them.
04Our margins are under pressure and we can't point to where it is coming from.
05If a key person retired or left, we would have a gap we aren't ready to fill.
06We have tried to fix these problems before, internally or with outside help, and they came back.
07The people who run the operation are not the people who own the systems.
08We acquired this operation in the last 180 days and are finding problems diligence missed.

NOT YET

Few of these conditions show up yet. A diagnostic would not pay for itself today.

We will tell you plainly whether a conversation makes sense.

What made you look at this now?

The engagement

Four steps. Each one ends with something you keep.

Map

We interview the people doing the work and map how the operation runs today: where systems connect, who makes which decisions, where information stops, and which knowledge sits with one person.

Deliverable: A map of the operation with each gap marked.

Scope and fee agreed before we start.

Rank

We score every problem on the map by what it costs and how much schedule risk it carries. Leadership gets a short list in priority order, each item with an owner and a first step.

Deliverable: A ranked list with the dollar exposure behind each item.

Included in the diagnostic.

Install

We put the fixes in place: procedures, measures, owners, and the thresholds that tell someone to act. Tracking covers the specific risks found in step 01.

Deliverable: Written procedures, an owner for each measure, and a handover to your team.

Scope agreed before the step starts.

Build

When a fix needs software, we build it ourselves so it matches how your team already works.

Deliverable: A working tool, handed over to your team with documentation.

Only where a fix needs software.

Terms

Every engagement is:

Fixed fee.

We agree the scope and the price before any work starts.

Step by step.

Each step has a set deliverable. You decide after each one whether to continue.

Yours to keep.

Everything we hand over is built to run without us.

What we need from you

A few hours of your team's time.

One senior contact

A COO, head of operations or operating partner who can describe how work actually gets done day to day.

Two to three hours, spread over three or four conversations.

No system access to start

We don't need access to your systems for step 01. We learn how the operation runs by talking to your people. If we need system access later, we scope it and ask.

Appetite for a short answer

You get a ranked list of problems with costs attached. If you want a long slide deck, we are the wrong fit.

You have the map and the ranked list by the end of the diagnostic.

One point of contact

The work runs through one person on your side. When several people coordinate it, step 01 takes longer.

If you ticked five or more, the problem is probably already costing you money.

Book a call. We agree the scope and fee before any work starts.
