The Assessment · One-pager

Find out where your business loses time, margin, and information.

The Assessment is a fixed-scope, few-week engagement. We follow the work that matters — a job from bid to closeout, a matter from intake to bill, an order from quote to ship — and map where it loses time and money. You end up with a map, three costed moves, and a clear first step. Some moves will use AI. Some won't. We tell you which, and why.

What you get

  • The Operations Map — where hours, dollars, and information get stuck, traced to specific workflows and handoffs, quantified in your numbers
  • The Three Moves Memo — one page: the three moves worth the most, what each is worth, what it takes, and which to do first
  • A recommended First Win — scoped and measurable, ready to green-light (or not — your call)

What we need from you

  • A short data pull from the systems you already use (job costs, WIP, matters, tickets, schedules — we send a simple checklist)
  • Interviews with the people who run the work — about 45 minutes each, scheduled around their real week
  • One owner/leadership conversation at the start and one at the end

How the weeks go

Week 1

Follow the work

Data comes in; we trace how a real job / matter / order moves through the business today. AI accelerates the analysis; an operator decides what it means.

Week 2

Find the drag

Interviews with the people who do the work. The map takes shape: where time, margin, and information leak — and what each leak costs.

Week 3

Name the moves

We walk leadership through the map and the Three Moves Memo. You leave knowing your first win, its expected payback, and how it will be measured.

Our promise: we don't sell software, and we don't take commissions from anyone who does. If the most valuable fix isn't an AI fix, the memo says so. The measurement for any next step is defined before the spend — in hours, margin points, or days of cycle time your CFO can audit. Half your Assessment fee credits toward the First Win if you move ahead within 60 days.

Who does the work: Cory Haldeman scopes, owns, and stands behind every engagement — bringing in the right help for each piece of the work, always to his standard. What's guaranteed is the quality of the work, not a headcount. We're a new practice, and we say so: early clients get founding terms — pricing that reflects it, and the exit clause in writing before you ask.
