I read businesses, organizations, and the people who run them down to their structure — and hand back direction: what it is, what's stopping it, and the sequence to move.
Audit. Before any reading, the facts. A structured collection of your operation's reality: numbers, processes, agreements, actual behavior. No interpretation yet — interpretation without facts is opinion.
Structural diagnosis. The reading itself. What the project actually is, where its bottlenecks live, and the direction it can sustain — articulated and grounded in the audit. A bounded engagement with a defined deliverable.
Business systems design. The structure that executes the direction: entities, sequences, operating systems for the business. This is the build.Founder & leadership advisory. Ongoing counsel for the person running it — decisions, structure, reading your own organization and the rooms you walk into. Advisory, never operation.Every engagement starts bounded: an audit, then a diagnosis with a defined deliverable. Design and advisory come after — if the work calls for them and we both choose to continue.I work with a small number of clients at a time, by referral.
