Operational Rhythm Check

Service Description

Investment: $500 Engagement: 60 minutes What it is: A focused operating diagnostic for owner-led businesses that feel busier, heavier, or more reactive than they should. This is not a generic consulting session. It is a practical look at how the business actually runs today: where work gets stuck, where ownership is unclear, where margin may be leaking, and where the founder or leadership team is still carrying too much. Who it’s for: Owner-led SMBs with 10–150 employees dealing with one or more of the following: • The founder is still too involved in day-to-day decisions • Priorities keep shifting • Meetings happen, but follow-through is inconsistent • Managers are busy, but ownership is unclear • Projects stall, slip, or lose momentum • Margin is getting tighter even though the team is working hard • The business has outgrown the way it currently operates What you get (within 48 hours): 1. Operating Reality Snapshot - A clear view of where the business is actually getting stuck. 2. Top 3 Fixes - The highest-impact fixes ranked by impact and effort. 3. Ownership Gaps - A quick read on where roles, decision rights, or accountability are unclear. 4. Rhythm Recommendation - The right weekly/monthly cadence to steady the business and improve follow-through. 5. Mini Scorecard - 5–7 practical KPIs that help run the week, not just report the past. How it works: 1. Short pre-meeting intake 2. 60-minute working session (G2M) 3. Findings delivered within 48 hours Outcomes: You leave with a clear view of where the business is dragging, what needs to be fixed first, and whether fractional COO support makes sense as the next step.
