The Operations Blueprint
Find out where your business is losing money.
Send us a few things you already have, then give us about 90 minutes on a call or in your shop. We write down how your business really runs, where the money leaks out, and the three things to fix first. In order. With what each one costs.
One price
$1,500
Fixed. Paid up front. No hourly, no surprises.
- about 90 minutes, a call or a visit
- Written report in 7 business days
- One findings meeting
- $750 back toward an implementation
What happens
Your documents, one session, one report, one meeting.
Send us what you already have
A few invoices, a few estimates, your price sheet, and a picture of how the schedule is kept: a whiteboard, a calendar, an app. Whatever you use. We read all of it before we talk, so the session is not spent explaining the basics.
about 90 minutes, a call or a visit
One session with you and whoever runs the office. On a call, or in your shop if you are near us. We walk a job from the first ring of the phone to the paid invoice and ask a lot of questions. We do not sell anything that day.
A written report in 7 business days
Plain words, a few pages, written for you and not for a software company. You can hand it to your office manager or your spouse and they will understand it.
One findings meeting
About an hour, on a call or in person. We go through the report page by page, you push back on anything you disagree with, and you leave knowing what to do first.
What the report says
Four sections. No filler.
We have read the fifty-page consultant reports. Nobody finishes them. This one is short enough to act on.
How the business runs today
The real path of a job, call by call, from the phone ringing to the money landing. Including the parts that live in someone's head.
Where money is leaking
Quotes that went quiet. Jobs that were done but never invoiced. Reminders nobody sent. Trips that could have been one trip. Named, with a rough number on each.
The three things to fix first
Not twenty. Three, in order, with what each one takes and what it is worth.
Fix, buy, or build
For each fix: what you can do with what you already own, what is worth buying off the shelf, and what would need to be built. Most companies need less building than they think.
What it is not
Not included, on purpose.
The Blueprint is the look, not the work. Keeping those apart is what makes the report honest: we have no reason to tell you to build something.
- Implementation. The Blueprint tells you what to fix. Doing it is a separate proposal, priced on its own.
- Software setup, training, or data migration.
- Vendor management. We will name what to buy. We will not run the purchase or the vendor for you.
- Accounting, HR, or legal advice. We are contractors, not CPAs or lawyers.
- Evaluating your employees. We look at how the work flows, not at who is good or bad at their job.
The credit
$750 of it comes back if you build.
If the Blueprint says something should be built and you start an implementation over $7,500 with us within 60 days of the findings meeting, $750 of the Blueprint fee comes off that project. It works the same whether the session was a call or a visit. If the report says you do not need to build anything, you keep the report and the $1,500 was the whole cost.
- The Blueprint

- Credit toward an implementation

Software is never included in the Blueprint. If it says to build something, that is a separate proposal with its own price.
