How it works

How I work with your business.

Seven stages, one person the whole way. You always know what happens next, what I need from you and what you get at the end of each stage.

    The three jobs to fix first, and what the time is worth.

    Bring the one job you'd most like gone.

    What you get

    A straight answer on whether a Deep Audit is worth your money.

  3. Stage 3: Deep Audit

  5. Stage 5: Set up and test

    Weeks 2 to 4Fixed price
    What happens

    Each job is set up one at a time in your accounts, then tested on real work: it drafts, a person checks, nothing reaches customers.

    What you do

    Look over a handful of shadow-mode drafts and tell me what's off. About two hours.

    What you get

    Everything checked against your real work before anyone relies on it.

  6. Stage 6: Go live with your team

    Weeks 4 to 6Included

    Give your team 30 minutes per job for the walkthrough.

    Working systems, a team that knows how to use them, and everything documented.

  7. Stage 7: Look after and improve

    Every monthMonthly care
    What happens

    I keep an eye on everything, fix problems within one business day and tune them as your business changes. Approvals are relaxed only when you're ready.

    What you do

    A short monthly check-in, or just read the report.

    What you get

    A monthly report on hours saved, issues fixed and what to build next.

  8. If we ever part ways

    Any time after the first three months

    Everything keeps running in your accounts. You get a handover session and your Handover Vault, and there's nothing to unlock or migrate.
