Process

From question to working system.

Most consultants hand you a slide deck. I audit, find the opportunity — and build the system that captures it. Here's exactly how that works.

The 5 Phases

Every engagement, end to end.

1

Free Intro Audit

1 call — no commitment

A no-obligation 45-minute conversation to understand your business, the data and tools you run on, and the problem you want solved. I'll spot obvious quick wins on the spot and tell you honestly whether a deeper engagement makes sense.

Deliverables

Clear picture of your current data & KPI stack
Quick-win list you can act on immediately — free
Honest assessment of what a deeper audit would surface
No sales pitch, no obligation to continue
2

Deep-Dive Diagnostic

Week 1

I plug AI into your actual data — spreadsheets, databases, CRM, analytics — and map your operations end to end. Every leak, bottleneck and underused asset gets quantified so we can prioritize by real impact, not gut feeling.

Deliverables

Full data and KPI landscape mapped
Operational flow documented — where time and money leak
Bottlenecks quantified with supporting data
Draft opportunity inventory with effort/impact scores
3

Opportunity Roadmap

End of week 1

Findings ranked by ROI potential and build complexity. You get a clear, prioritized plan — not 80 slides of observations — so you know exactly what to build first and what to expect.

Deliverables

Prioritized findings with ROI estimates per opportunity
"Build plan" — what to ship, in what order, at what cost
Plain-language executive summary (one page)
Go/no-go decision point — your call, no pressure
4

Build & Automate

Weeks 2+

I ship the dashboards, automations, integrations and applications that turn the roadmap into a working system. Senior-level engineering, AI-augmented — no agency handoffs, no translation layer. You watch it go live.

Deliverables

Dashboards and data views surfacing the right numbers daily
Automations eliminating repetitive manual work
Integrations between your existing tools
Web/app builds for customer-facing or internal products
5

Measure & Iterate

Ongoing

After launch, we track the metrics that mattered in the audit and measure the actual lift. If something moves, we double down. If something doesn't, we fix it. The loop closes — and can start again.

Deliverables

KPI tracking against pre-engagement baseline
Honest post-launch review — what worked, what didn't
Iteration plan based on real data, not assumptions
Option to expand scope or move to retainer

Phase 1 – 3

One-Off Audit

You want clarity before committing to a build. I run through phases 1–3, deliver the roadmap, and you decide what to do with it.

Phases 1 – 4

Project Build

The most common path. Audit → roadmap → ship the system that captures the opportunity. Fixed scope, clear milestone, defined outcome.

All 5 phases, recurring

Ongoing Analyst Retainer

For companies that want a permanent external data partner. Monthly hours cover continuous monitoring, iteration and new-loop audits as the business evolves.

The intro audit is free, takes one call, and gives you something useful whether you continue or not.
