AUDIT

Find the constraint.

Before we build anything, we determine what is actually limiting revenue, margin, capacity, or management visibility. A business that thinks it needs AI may have salespeople spending a third of the day fixing CRM records. A business that thinks it needs leads may have a show rate problem. Technology follows the diagnosis.

THE INTAKE

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PROBLEM IS?

WHAT THE AUDIT EXAMINES

What is the business trying to accomplish?

Where does money come from?

Where does demand leak?

Where does work slow down?

What should be eliminated, integrated, automated, or built?

What can management not see?

Where is margin created or destroyed?

Where is human capacity wasted?

THE OUTPUT — AN OPPORTUNITY MAP

IMPACT × CONFIDENCE ÷ COST

Ranked, so the two-year technology programme never starts. Do now, build next, test, ignore. Each row is sized during the audit against a timed baseline — which is why no row on this page carries a number.

OPP-001

01

Lead routing and response

High impact / low effort

DO NOW

SIZED IN THE AUDIT

Usually the cheapest money in the building. The work already exists; nobody owns it in time.

OPP-002

02

Closed-loop attribution

High impact / medium effort

BUILD NEXT

SIZED IN THE AUDIT

Until the chain reaches gross profit, budget decisions are being made on cost per click.

OPP-003

03

Administrative automation

Medium impact / low effort

DO NOW

SIZED IN THE AUDIT

Measure the manual hours first. Not every hour is worth removing.

OPP-004

04

Custom inventory system

High impact / high effort

TEST

SIZED IN THE AUDIT

Only if the workflow is strategically unique. Otherwise configure what already exists.

OPP-005

05

An additional dashboard

Low impact / medium effort

IGNORE

SIZED IN THE AUDIT

Management already has numbers. What it lacks is significance. A tenth screen is not the fix.

Not as fake precision. As a decision framework.
