A Bottleneck Scan — built for SMB owners and operators.
A fixed-fee, 30–45 day diagnostic that identifies exactly where work is stalling — with event-data evidence — and delivers a ranked execution plan your team can act on without a platform change.
A fixed-scope diagnostic. Evidence-first. No platform changes.
Not a transformation program, not a tool rollout, and not a months-long discovery phase. A fixed-scope diagnostic that tells you what is actually stalling flow — with evidence.
Fixed-fee diagnostic focused on one bottlenecked workflow.
30-45 days from access approval to executive readout.
Read-only access to one to three systems with usable event timestamps.
Executive readout, slide deck, ranked constraints, and implementation roadmap.
Fixed-fee engagement — contact for a scoped quote based on workflow complexity.
We scope the workflow, confirm data viability, and align on the operating question: where is work stalling, and what should the team fix first?
We scope every engagement before it starts — confirming data viability and aligning on the exact operating question before you invest.

- Order-to-fulfillment/delivery flow
- Customer support and escalation paths
- Approvals queues and backlog aging
- Rework loops and handoff delays
Input: event logs and operational data already inside your systems.
- As-is process maps
- Top 3 throughput-killing constraints
- Quantified time & cost leakage
- Backlog queue and wait-time drivers
- 30–60 day execution roadmap
- Processes span multiple tools
- Everyone is busy but throughput is not rising
- Work bounces between people or teams
- You need clarity before hiring or automating
- You want a new platform
- You are looking for generic best practices
- You want automation without diagnosis
- There is no usable timestamp / event data
A clear week-by-week diagnostic.
Scope the workflow, confirm access, and validate event-data fields. Secure read-only access to the systems that record work — tickets, orders, CRM stages, operational logs — normalized into an analyzable timeline.
Rebuild the as-is process from timestamps and events. Identify queues, isolate the highest-friction wait states, and map real-world variants — including the paths that actually happen, not the documented ones.
Score bottlenecks by throughput impact, quantify time and cost leakage, and stress-test the leading hypotheses against the event data.
Deliver the readout, ranked action roadmap, and owner-linked execution path for the next 30–60 days. No platform swap required to act on the findings.
Questions buyers ask before a scan.
No. The scan is designed to work with the systems you already run.
Read-only access to one to three systems with usable timestamps or event histories.
We assess data viability during the scoping call. If the data can't support constraint analysis, we tell you before you invest — you don't proceed to a full scan.
If we can't identify a constraint with sufficient evidence to quantify, we don't deliver a recommendation you can't act on. Our commercial structure reflects this commitment.
Low disruption. Most of the work happens in the data and readout layer, not through workshops.
Your team gets a ranked action plan with owners, sequence, and the first moves to make.
