Find where the business leaks.
Fix the system that leaks it.
A fixed-fee Operating & Financial Diagnostic locates the drag in your supply chain, your process, and your numbers — then one senior partner stays to build the machinery that holds, one to two days a week.
01 · Diagnose
3–4 weeks · fixed fee · findings dossier
02 · Design
12-month roadmap, ranked by cash impact
03 · Drive
1–2 days/week until the machinery holds
A clear diagnosis. Then the work that makes it hold.
We start with the constraint that matters most, turn it into a short list of decisions, and stay close enough to see the change take root.
Find the actual drag
A fixed-fee diagnostic maps the operating and financial friction that is quietly costing you speed, margin, or attention.
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.
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.
A $3M product business. Where the margin was actually going.
A representative diagnostic for an owner-led manufacturer with 20 people: healthy sales, thin cash, and no one sure why. Three pictures from the findings dossier tell the whole story.
1 · Margin leak bridge
Gross margin, then the five places it quietly disappears — ranked by dollars, not opinions.
2 · Twelve months later
Four numbers the owner watches, before and after the operating fixes took hold.
3 · Supplier concentration
Share of annual spend by supplier. One vendor over the 40% line can stop the business.
Representative scenario built from typical findings in owner-led product businesses; figures are illustrative, not a specific client's results.

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.
