Starting up

The cheapest time to design how a company runs is before it has ten employees. A few days of decisions now saves a year of untangling later.

Doing it all myself

You’re very good at the work, and the business is burying it: the website, the books, the vendors, the clients. One to ten people, ready to grow.

Outgrowing how we work

What worked at 12 people breaks at 30, quietly at first. The fix starts with a map of how work really moves.

Take the Operational Assessment

15 questions, about three minutes

Getting ready to sell

Buyers pay for what they can verify. Most of the discount they’d apply can be fixed before you go to market.

Buying or merging

The seller’s numbers show what the business earned, not what it will cost to keep earning it. We look at the operation the way we’d have to run it.

More locations or franchising

The tenth location has to run like the first, without you in the room. That has to be designed and tested before it’s copied.

Stepping back

A business you can step back from is one where decisions, knowledge and relationships don’t live only in your head.

Customers can’t find us

Customers judge your operation by the part they can see: your listing, your reviews, your website and how fast you answer.

Honestly, not sure

That’s a normal answer. Twenty minutes on the phone usually sorts it out.

The idea

You make the widgets. We build the fabric.

Every business makes something: parts, care, advice, buildings, meals, software. Underneath the making is everything that lets it happen: how an order moves, who decides, where the numbers live, how the books close, which work a machine should do, what the technology runs on, and what a customer sees when they look you up.

That is the fabric. In most companies it was never designed. It grew like this:

  1. You added QuickBooks.
  2. Then Microsoft 365.
  3. Then a CRM.
  4. Then a backup system.
  5. Then cybersecurity.
  6. Then a few automations.
  7. Then someone built an AI workflow.
  8. Then three employees started keeping their own spreadsheets.
  9. Now nobody knows how everything fits together.

Each decision was reasonable. Nobody designed the whole machine. Now it’s what slows the widgets down.

We design it, build it, test it before it touches your business, and keep it running, so your people can spend their days on the work only they can do.

  1. 01How work movesYour organization designed on purpose, not as the residue of every decision before it.
  2. 02Standards, SOPs & policiesThe way work gets done, written down and kept current.
  3. 03Numbers you trustSee what’s drifting while it’s still cheap to fix.
  4. 04People, roles & leadershipClear roles, real ownership, fewer fires.
  5. 05Automation & AIThe work that shouldn’t need a person stops needing a person.
  6. 06Books & accounting systemsBooks that close on time, and one person who coordinates with your CPA and attorney.
  7. 07Finance & legal, coordinatedYour CPA and your attorney get clean numbers and one point of contact.
  8. 08Technology (at opsworq.net)The systems underneath, run by our managed IT team.
  9. 09How customers find youYour website, listings, reviews and replies, run as one system.
  10. The orange threadAccountable for the whole cloth.

The stakes

A national competitor can enter your market. You can’t enter theirs.

The difference is not money. Somewhere along the way they made operations a competitive advantage, and it has compounded every year since. They aren’t out-selling anybody. They’re out-operating them, and a customer only sees who was faster, clearer and easier to deal with.

Distance used to protect a local business. It mostly doesn’t anymore. A manufacturer quotes against an overseas producer; a professional firm competes with a team that never leaves its own office.

None of it requires their scale or their budget. It is design, and design is available to a thirty-person company in a way that scale never will be.

Large companies have scale. Small companies have speed.

How we work

Six stages. One test gate. Then it repeats.

Discover, Design, Build, then the test gate, then Connect, Operate and Evolve, and the cycle repeats. Nothing reaches your business until it has passed the gate.The cycle repeats. The system is never finished.01Discover02Design03BuildTHE TEST GATE04Connect05Operate06Evolve
  1. 01 Discover

    How the work actually moves, not what the org chart says.

  2. 02 Design

    Whether each process should exist before anyone automates it.

  3. 03 Build

    The procedures, systems and tools the design calls for.

  4. The test gate

    Piloted, run beside the old way, or checked away from live work.

  5. 04 Connect

    Information flowing between departments, not just between systems.

  6. 05 Operate

    We stay in it: measuring, maintaining, documenting.

  7. 06 Evolve

    Correcting the heading as the business changes.

Nothing reaches your business until it has passed the gate.

The cycle repeats. The system is never finished.

What happens in each stage

Our internal standard

Find the $5 problem before it becomes a $5 million problem.

Leak

The same data, entered twice

An order typed into the CRM, then typed again into accounting. Four minutes each time, forty times a week.

Leak

A handoff nobody owns

Sales closes it. Production finds out when someone walks down the hall. The customer finds out last.

Leak

A $50-a-month service nobody uses

Bought for a project that ended. Still renewing, because nobody reads the card statement line by line.

What does one leak cost you?

$6,240a year

139 hours a year, gone to one repeated task.

Your numbers. An estimate, not a quote. Fifty-two weeks a year.

None of these is worth interrupting the business for. Thousands of them compound.

What you get

An Operational Map of how your business really runs.

Fifteen questions, about three minutes, no technical knowledge needed. You get your Operational Velocity Index and your two weakest domains before you give us anything.

An illustrative five-domain map: People and Handoffs 71, Processes 58, Systems and Tools 41, Information Flow 38, Change Readiness 79. The two weakest domains are marked.People & Handoffs71Processes58Systems & Tools41Information Flow38Change Readiness79
Illustrative, not a client result
  • 38

    Information Flow You cannot see your own operation in useful time, and the same fact disagrees with itself across systems. Every decision made on top of that inherits the error.

  • 41

    Systems & Tools Systems have accumulated rather than been chosen, and people are doing the integration by hand. This is the most expensive kind of quiet waste.

  • 79

    Change Readiness The organization can absorb change, which is the single greatest predictor of whether the rest of the work will hold. This one is a strength, and it is the reason the other two are fixable.

The free version gives you the shape. The full map traces the paths work actually takes through your business, names the dependencies and prices the leaks.

What your customers see

Customers inspect your operation from the outside.

They can’t see your procedures. They can see last year’s holiday hours, a review nobody answered and a form that never replied. We run the whole public surface as one system: your website, map listings, directories, reviews and social accounts.

  2. JudgedDeciding whether you’re credible
  3. ChosenTrying to act
  4. AnsweredWaiting to hear back

A person looks and sends one page back within one business day. Free, and nothing to sign.

Every rate, every term

What’s different

We start where the others stop.

Consulting usually ends with a report. Agencies usually end with a launch. IT firms usually stop at the network. We start where those stop: with how the whole business runs, and we stay until it runs that way.

  • Maps how the whole business actually works
  • Asks whether a process should exist before automating it
  • Builds what it recommends
  • Tests every change before it goes live
  • Runs it afterwards and reports on it
  • Publishes its rates
  • One party accountable for the whole thing
