An operations firm for owners.

Most small businesses don’t need a strategy deck. They need their week back. We rebuild your operation around the single bottleneck capping growth, then layer AI where it compounds.

You stop running the business. The business starts running.

We were operators first. We know what gets used after the consultants leave, and what gets shoved in a drawer. We only build the first kind.

From diagnostic to working system

Three ways to work with us.

Start with a diagnostic. End wherever the constraint takes you. No long-term contracts. No retainer traps.

Five capabilities. One operating system.

Every engagement draws from the same playbook. The mix depends on what your bottleneck actually needs.

01.

Constraint Diagnosis

An honest, owner-led audit of where the hours go and what they cost. We find the single bottleneck capping your growth, not the ten symptoms surrounding it. You leave with the bottleneck named, the opportunity sized, and a system blueprint.

DeliverableBlueprint + estimate
02.

Operating System Design

The end-to-end process rebuilt around the constraint. Roles, handoffs, decision rights, escalation paths. Documented in plain language your team can actually follow. Designed so it doesn’t fall apart when someone leaves.

Internal Tools

Custom software your team will actually use, because we built it for the work they do. Scheduling, routing, customer database, follow-up. One consolidated app replacing three disconnected tools. Yours, owner-operated, no vendor lock-in.

AI Agents

AI layered where it compounds. Routine work runs without you. Decisions automated where they pay. Built on infrastructure you own, so the leverage stays yours. Not novelty. Not chatbots. Real automation on real workflows.

Embedded Coaching

We don’t leave when the build is done. Weekly working sessions until your team is running the new system without us. Quarterly constraint reviews after that. The leverage compounds because the operator stays sharp.

The Problem

30 hrs/week lost to manual scheduling, routing, and follow-up. 800 past customers sitting in a list with no recapture system. Operations scattered across three disconnected tools.

Monthly revenue before: [[REVENUE_BEFORE]]

02.

The Solution

One consolidated field app — scheduling, customer database, automated follow-up, routing — replacing three disconnected tools.

03.

The Results

Admin load cut from 30 hrs/week toward zero. 800 dormant customers turned into a reactivatable pipeline.

Monthly revenue after: [[REVENUE_AFTER]]

“We didn’t just build software. We gave the owner his week back and turned a dead customer list into a pipeline.”

45-day diagnostic. No long-term contract. You see the constraint before you commit.

The Point

Most operators are drowning. We were operators. We know the work. We build what gets you out.

Stop running ops. Start running your business.

Tell us the bottleneck. We’ll come back inside one business day with whether a 45-day diagnostic is the right next step for your operation.

The questions everyone asks.

Straight answers. No jargon.

Small business owners doing $1M to $50M who feel stuck running ops instead of running the business. Especially service businesses, hospitality, multi-location operators, and SaaS founders whose ops haven’t scaled with revenue.

We are not for pre-revenue startups or anyone looking for “AI tools” as a magic fix.

45-day diagnostic. Then a 60–90 day build if the constraint warrants it. Owners typically see weekly hours recovered within the first 30 days of go-live.

Operating Partner engagements run 12 months. You can stop at any phase boundary.

Diagnostic is a fixed fee. Build and Operating Partner engagements are fixed-scope, priced against the size of the opportunity we surface in diagnostic. We don’t bill hourly. We don’t take equity. We don’t do retainers.

Exact pricing comes after a 30-minute fit call. Most diagnostics fall in the [[DIAGNOSTIC_RANGE]] range.

We don’t deliver slides. We deliver working systems built around your specific bottleneck. And we don’t leave until your team is running it without us.

We were operators first. We don’t recommend anything we haven’t already run on our own books.

That’s the diagnostic. Most owners think they know the bottleneck. After 45 days, they know.

If the diagnostic finds nothing worth building around, we’ll tell you and refund the back half of the fee. That has not happened yet.

Whatever fits your operation: your existing stack where it works, custom-built tools where it doesn’t, AI agents (Claude, OpenAI, hosted models) where they pay.

Everything runs on infrastructure you own. No vendor lock-in. The leverage stays yours.

Yes. About [[OPERATING_PARTNER_RATE]] of clients move into a 12-month Operating Partner engagement after the build. Weekly working sessions, quarterly constraint reviews, AI agents kept current. No long-term contract; you can stop at any quarter boundary.

Apply for an engagement. 16 questions, takes about 10 minutes. We respond within one business day with whether a 45-day diagnostic is the right fit, and a time for a 30-minute call.
