48-Hour Ops Bottleneck Audit Outline

If you are deciding whether the paid audit is worth it, this is the practical version. I use the audit to map one broken workflow, mark what stays approval-gated, show sample outputs, and return the implementation quote for the first private AI system.

$750, credited toward setup within 14 days One workflow only, not broad AI brainstorming Implementation quote included

Who this audit is for

  • Owner-led service businesses with one workflow that is clearly leaking time, money, or owner attention
  • Commercial contractors and larger home-service operators with follow-through problems between the office and the field
  • Teams that already know ChatGPT is useful but have not turned that into a repeatable operating system

What happens in 48 hours

1. Intake and examples

I review one workflow, a few recent examples, the current tools involved, and what must stay approval-gated.

2. Current-state map

I map where the workflow is supposed to move, where it actually stalls, and where context or ownership leaks.

3. Guardrails and sample outputs

I define what the first agent should read, classify, draft, and brief, and what still stays behind human approval.

4. Implementation quote

I return a concrete recommendation for the first install, not a vague AI strategy memo.

What you get back

  • A current-state workflow map for one real bottleneck
  • Failure analysis tied to time, money, or owner attention
  • An approval and risk matrix for the first agent workflow
  • Example outputs like a morning brief, follow-up draft, or internal handoff note
  • An implementation quote for the first approval-gated AI system

What I need from you

  • One workflow to review first
  • One recent example of the breakdown
  • The current tools or inboxes involved in that workflow
  • Clear rules for what must stay approval-gated
  • One operator, owner, or manager who can confirm the workflow reality

What stays approval-gated

By default, external sending, calendar changes, commitments, system-of-record changes, and money-moving actions stay behind human approval. The audit is meant to make the safe first install obvious, not to push autonomy before the business trusts it.

Not a fit if...

  • You want a broad AI brainstorm without naming one broken workflow
  • You want autonomous customer or vendor communication on day one
  • You are looking for a rip-and-replace software project instead of a workflow fix
  • There is no real operator or owner available to confirm how the workflow actually breaks

The point is not more AI talk. The point is a narrower next decision.

If the workflow is real and painful, the audit should make the next answer obvious: approve the first install, narrow the scope, or stop cleanly.
