Independent checks on reports, data and systems

Find out if your numbers are right before you pay anyone to fix them.

A fixed-fee audit of the reports and systems you run the business on. You get every problem I find, what it costs you, and whether it's worth fixing. Sometimes the answer is to replace nothing.

I was asked to check the system. I recommended replacing nothing.

Their store-visit reporting looked fine on screen. Checked against the source data, some ratings in client reports were wrong or couldn't be supported. Every finding was traced to its cause, and every fix was small.

12

issues found, each checked against code, data or deployment history

52

visit ratings that were wrong or couldn't be supported by the data

This is for you if

Owner-run businesses where the numbers matter and one person holds them together.

You don't fully trust what your reports say.

You're the only one who knows how the numbers are put together.

Someone has quoted you a rebuild, and you're not sure you need one.

Everyone is selling you AI, and you can't tell what would actually help.

THE AUDIT · FIXED FEE

What you get

A read-only review. Nothing in your business changes while I look. The fee depends on the size of the job. We agree it on the first call, and it doesn't change after that.

Every finding, ordered by what it costs you

The expensive problems come first, not the interesting ones.

Numbers with sources

Each figure says where it came from. Estimates are marked as estimates.

A priced fix, or a reason not to bother

Some findings aren't worth the money to fix. The audit says which.

A written brief you keep

Use it with me, with your own team or with anyone else.

If you want the fixes done, I quote them in writing after the audit. Ongoing support is by arrangement.

How I work

In the tools you already pay for

Shopify, Make, Notion, Google Workspace, Connecteam, Supabase, Vercel, GitHub, the Claude API or whatever you run. The fix fits your stack, not mine.

No reason to upsell

The audit is the product, and you don't have to use me for the fixes. If the right answer is to change nothing, that's what it says. If an AI tool will save you money, the audit shows the numbers. If it won't, it says that too.

Built to hand over

Anything I build is documented so any competent developer can pick it up. You shouldn't depend on me.

Start with a 30-minute call.

Email me which numbers you don't trust and we'll set a time. If an audit won't pay for itself, I'll say so on the call.
