Where Is Your Business Leaking Time and Money?

A 5-minute self-audit. 24 checkpoints across data, leads, repetitive work, tools, meetings, and ownership. Check the boxes, count your score, and know — before you ever talk to us — whether you have a small drip or a structural leak.

CASE STUDY

  • THE SITUATION : Industry, size, and the symptom they felt (“reports took a full day,” “leads were going cold”).
  • THE LEAK : What the discovery sprint actually found, with the number attached (hours/week, % of leads, $ of rework).
  • THE FIX : What you built or changed, in plain language. Name the approach, not just the tools.
  • THE RESULT : The same number, after. Plus one sentence from the client, with name and company (or role and industry if they prefer anonymity).
  • WHO OWNS IT NOW : One line on the handoff, reinforcing Education & Enablement.

SAMPLE AUDIT — HOW WE THINK.

What a leak looks like when you finally see it.

The walkthrough below is a composite demonstration of our method — not a client engagement. It shows exactly what we look for and how a fix takes shape.

The symptom: A 12-person distribution business “needs a better reporting tool.” Every Friday, the operations lead spends most of the day building the weekly numbers.

The audit: We shadow the process once. The report pulls from three systems that don’t talk to each other, so the ops lead exports each one, cleans the data by hand, reconciles mismatches from re-keyed entries, and formats the result. The tool was never the problem. The re-keying was.

The fix: Stop the duplicate entry at the source, connect the two systems that matter, and generate the report automatically. No new reporting software purchased.

The math: A day a week is roughly 20% of one salary — recovered. That’s the pattern: the leak is upstream of where it hurts.

Your business isn’t this business. That’s the point of the discovery sprint — to find YOUR version of the Friday report.
