Process Audits

Find where the hours actually go.

Most founders can't tell you where their week went — they can describe what they worked on, but not the ratio of work-to-output. A process audit gives you that picture. Two weeks of deep review across your current workflows, tooling, and team structure, delivered as a report that identifies exactly where hours are leaking and the three highest-leverage places to intervene first.

// Who it’s for

Built for operators in specific situations.

  • Operators who feel busy but aren't moving the business.
  • Small teams under 10 people, scaling faster than their systems.
  • Agency owners and consultants deciding what to productize or outsource.

// The problem

What this engagement exists to fix.

You know something's wrong with your operating model, but you can't point at it. Work feels reactive. The same problems resurface. Your team does good work but the output isn't compounding. The audit surfaces the specific workflows and tool choices causing it — with receipts.

// The approach

How I work through it.

Two weeks: one week of access and interviews, one week of synthesis. I sit in on your actual workflows — watching how the work happens, not just listening to how you describe it. I map the tool stack, identify redundancies and gaps, and quantify the hours going to busywork versus compounding work. The deliverable is a 10–15 page report and a call to walk through it.

// Deliverables

What you walk out with.

  • 1

    A workflow map documenting how work actually flows through your operation today.

  • 2

    A redundancy and gap analysis — tools you're overpaying for, workflows missing support.

  • 3

    A prioritized action list of the three to five changes with the highest leverage in the next 90 days.

  • 4

    A 90-minute debrief call to walk through findings and answer questions.

  • 5

    A follow-up check-in at 30 days to review progress on the action list.

// What makes this different

The decisions that actually matter.

Observed, not self-reported.

I don't just interview you. I sit in on real workflows. What people describe and what actually happens are almost always different things — and the gap is where the leverage is.

Action list, not a tome.

The report is short. The recommendations are specific. You walk out with three things to do in the next 90 days, not a 50-page strategy deck.

Works before you hire.

Most founders try to solve an operating problem with a hire. An audit tells you whether the problem is really a people gap, a tooling gap, or a workflow design gap. Getting that diagnosis right saves headcount.
