01

Find the actual drag

A fixed-fee diagnostic maps the operating and financial friction that is quietly costing you speed, margin, or attention.

02

Choose the moves that matter

We convert the findings into a practical sequence: what to change now, what to defer, and who needs to own the work.

03

Stay until the system holds

When the fit is right, one senior partner stays involved — shaping the operating cadence and seeing the critical work through.

Operating Partner — COO / CFO background · Nor and So California
Good operating design is invisible until you need it — the goal isn't to make things look busy, it's to make the business easier to run.

Jan works with owner-led product businesses to close the gap between the numbers and the operation — building the reporting, the process, and the accountability that let a business scale without the founder holding every piece together personally.
