Problem

Hidden inefficiencies are holding you back. The tools that got you here won’t get you to what’s next.

  • Admin overload is eating the week.
  • App creep means more tools than traction.
  • Operating costs keep climbing.
  • The only way to scale feels like hiring more people.
  • AI hype is everywhere, but the real impact is unclear.

Too many apps, not enough alignment

Your systems should hum. Instead, every team is patching gaps with manual workarounds.

  • Most teams spend 20%+ of their week managing workarounds.
  • Every manual task compounds as you scale — and it rarely shows up on the P&L.

Proof

“The scorecard was an eye-opener. It pinpointed exactly where the time was leaking. The action plan made it obvious what to fix first.”
