For companiesFor operators: needs, proof and a first step
Redesign the company as built, not as drawn.
For CEOs, owners, COOs and CFOs who need to fix, prove or prepare something, and want evidence before they spend.
Red linesProblems we found inside client companies
Every company has two versions. Decisions are made on the drawn one.
The org chart shows who reports to whom. The process manual shows how work should flow. The ERP shows what was recorded. The company as built — approvals in chat, changes agreed by e-mail, counts typed from memory at the end of a shift — runs somewhere else. Strategy, investment and AI decisions fail in that gap.
Six findings from real engagements. On each card, the red mark shows where the company as built departed from its drawing.
3
One official process. Three real ones.
The documented order route ran in three variants, and most lateness was waiting, not work.
26%
Decisions that never reach a system.
26% of engineering changes were agreed outside the change register.
34%
Controls that are assumed, not proven.
“Protected” was reported for a third of managed clients without evidence.
78%
Know-how in two heads.

45%
Money leaking between systems.

3 weeks

88%
of business transformations fail to achieve their original ambitions.

One process. One week. See it as built.
Bring us one real process and its data. Within a week you get it back as it really runs: every route the work takes, the first findings with counts and owners, and what they are worth. If it is useful, we continue. If not, you have spent a week.

- First findings with counts and owners
