Two numbers no one has ever given you.
THE OWNER'S SCORECARD™

Your accountant tells you what happened last year. Your banker tells you what you can borrow. Your attorney tells you what you're exposed to.
Nobody tells you how well the business actually runs — or what the gap between good and great is worth in dollars. That's the number we give you.
You've never had a number for this

HOW IT WORKS
-
Day 1
Operations. We walk your floor and shadow real work. No financials requested.
-
Day 2
Process. We map the eight workflows that carry your business.
-
Day 3
The numbers. Now we look — side by side, benchmarked.
-
Then
Your Scorecard. Score, Gap, and three things for Monday.
Three days on-site. Two days building.
$7,500
Fixed. Not hourly. The same price for every business we score.
Annual re-score: $3,500 — most owners want to see the number move.
Our guarantee. If your Scorecard doesn’t identify at least $50,000 in annual recoverable profit, you don’t pay.
We can offer that because in a business your size, the five things we score are always leaking something.
