What An Audit Finds
62,000 EUR A Year, From Two Answers.
A marketing agency, 31 people, two to five million in revenue. The managing director told us his leadership spent ten to fifteen hours a week in internal meetings, and five to fifteen preparing reports. That was enough.
The rates and the leadership group size are assumptions and are labelled as such. Substituting your own moves the total.

Your two answers.
Hours a week your leadership spends in internal meetings, per person.
Hours a week spent across the company preparing reports and updates.
Leadership group taken from your headcount band, five at 31 staff. Forty six working weeks. Loaded hourly cost of 55 euro for leadership and 40 euro for mixed seniority. All four are assumptions. Change them.

The Cortex OS
One Operating System Beneath Every Build.
The Cortex OS is the method, the library and the engine the practice runs on. It is why an audit takes days rather than weeks, why every system is built the same way, and why every roadmap arrives with numbers attached. Clients never buy it and never see it. They experience it as speed, and as the fact that nothing has to be invented twice.
What We Build
Your Company, Running Without You In The Middle.
Every build sits on one foundation: a permissioned index of everything your company already knows and cannot currently reach. The customer records, the inboxes, the chat threads, the documents, the finance system. What gets built on top of it is decided by the audit.
Visibility.
The numbers exist. They are spread across four to seven systems and take an hour to assemble.
Speed.
The things that should happen without a person having to remember to do them.
Knowledge.
What walks out of the door when someone experienced leaves.
A system earns its place if it produces a number nobody has, removes a delay nobody notices, or takes a repeatable task off a senior person permanently. Chat interfaces on websites and tools that write marketing copy fail that test, so we decline them.
Decided by the audit, built on what you already pay for.

The Honesty Rule
We Will Tell You To Spend Less.
Where projected payback on a proposed engagement runs past twelve months, we propose the smaller engagement and show the arithmetic behind the decision. This is enforced in the system that produces the roadmap, so it does not depend on the discipline of whoever is presenting it.
The same two figures that produced the 62,000 euro finding ruled out our largest engagement for that company. Payback would have run past sixteen months, so it was modelled and not proposed. The roadmap said so, in writing, on the page the client read.

Your Information
Built Where Being Wrong Costs Money.
Client material is held in the European Union and isolated per workspace at the database level, so a query from one workspace cannot reach another. Interview transcripts and working files are never readable from a client session. Confidentiality terms are signed before an engagement begins.
