Turn complexity into clarity.
Increase profit, reduce waste, and validate your next decisions.
We provide executive-level operational audits for founders and CEOs who need an experienced outside perspective before making critical business decisions.
Who This Is For
This audit is designed for experienced operators who value clarity over reassurance.
CEOs and founders preparing for a significant strategic decision
Managing partners evaluating operational efficiency across portfolio companies
Executives seeking an independent assessment before restructuring
Leadership teams facing margin pressure or resource constraints
Organizations requiring validation of internal assumptions and projections
Business owners preparing for transition, acquisition, or significant investment
The Problem
Most businesses operate with blind spots that become visible only in retrospect.
Resources allocated to activities that no longer drive meaningful returns
Internal consensus masking structural inefficiencies or flawed assumptions
Decision-making slowed by conflicting priorities and unclear trade-offs
Operational complexity increasing faster than actual business value
Leadership intuition lacking external validation before committing capital
Strategic initiatives consuming resources without measurable impact on results
What We Do
We conduct targeted operational assessments that identify where your business is creating value and where it is not.
Our approach is direct and analytical. We examine your operations from the perspective of an operator, not a consultant. The output is a clear set of findings and recommendations you can act on immediately.
FOCUS AREAS EXAMINED
Resource allocation and spend efficiency
Revenue model and margin structure
Operational workflows and process bottlenecks
Decision-making frameworks and accountability
Strategic alignment and prioritization
Team structure and capability gaps
Why This Is Valuable
Cost Savings
Identify redundant spend, underperforming initiatives, and resource misallocation. Most audits surface immediate opportunities to reduce operating costs by 10-25% without impacting output.
Focus
Reduce organizational complexity by identifying the essential few priorities that matter. Eliminate distractions and create clarity around what deserves leadership attention.
Cost Savings
Identify redundant spend, underperforming initiatives, and resource misallocation. Most audits surface immediate opportunities to reduce operating costs by 10-25% without impacting output.
Revenue & Profitability
Clarify margin contribution by product, customer, or channel. Understand where to focus resources for maximum financial impact and which activities to deprioritize.
Validation
Gain external confirmation or challenge of internal assumptions before committing resources. Make decisions with confidence, backed by independent analysis rather than consensus.

Aligned Incentives
We begin with an evaluation. This is a sanity check before any deeper engagement.
If a deeper engagement does not make sense, we will say so. We only proceed if measurable upside exists.
If we cannot demonstrate at least 5x our fee in EBITDA improvement, there is no fee.
If we engage, compensation is tied to performance: 3%+ of EBITDA improvement. Our incentive is to identify real value, not to generate billable hours.
