Operational Logic

Strategy vs. Tactics?

Strategy is the map; tactics are the vehicle. Most businesses fail because they are driving fast (tactics) in the wrong direction. We audit your Unit Economics and Market Positioning first. We don't execute a single tactic until the math of the strategy makes sense.

What is 'Process Mining'?

We don't just interview your staff; we look at the data. We analyze your digital footprints (ERP logs, CRM timestamps) to find the bottlenecks that humans ignore. We often find that 30% of your 'work' is just friction moving data from System A to System B.

Do you help with funding?

Yes. We act as Fractional CFOs for raises. We help structure your data room, build the financial model, and craft the narrative. We know what VCs look for because we operate in the startup ecosystem daily.
