Operational work built around specific moments of pressure.

Fixed scope, defined turnaround, no unnecessary process at any step.

Business Operations Diagnostic

For Any hire, any role Depth Full operating environment

A fixed-scope diagnostic that evaluates whether the operation surrounding your current hiring is ready to support new hires before they start, whether you're filling one role or several, in operations or anywhere else in the business. Built from 9+ years in operations, including seven years as the sole operational layer behind a remote business that scaled past 500 revenue-generating accounts.

Hiring solves capacity. It does not solve operational readiness.
Start the Diagnostic →
What you get
A written diagnostic identifying the highest-priority operational gaps, why they exist, and the single most consequential action to take first.
Why 72 hours
The timeline reflects a fixed, defined methodology, not open-ended discovery. Scope is set before work begins.
What happens after
You receive the findings directly from Michael. No proposal, no upsell sequence, no discovery call required to get started.
Why not just use an internal ops person
Internal processes are built from the inside. Familiarity makes operational friction harder to recognize over time. The value here is distance.

How It Works

Clear scope. Clear output.
No unnecessary process.

01

Identify

Define the operational question or pressure point driving the engagement.

02

Diagnose

Review the relevant operating structure, information, workflows, ownership, and gaps.

03

Deliver

Receive a concise, practical output within the agreed turnaround.

Every engagement is fixed-scope, with a defined turnaround and no unnecessary consulting overhead.
Fit

What these diagnostics are built to answer, and what they're not.

Right fit
You're hiring for a meaningful role and need to know what that person will walk into on day one.
You're handing operations to someone else and it currently lives in your head.
Growth is exposing gaps in structure, ownership, or workflow that customers are starting to notice.
You want a direct written answer, not a discovery call and a proposal.
What this isn't
Not an open-ended engagement. Every diagnostic here is fixed-scope with a defined deliverable.
Not a discovery-call sales process. You get a direct written answer, not a pitch.
Not a strategy, fundraising, or marketing review. The focus is operations.
Not a substitute for acting. The diagnostic tells you what to fix; it doesn't fix it for you.
