The A to Z Constraint Audit
Your business is making less than it should, and you can feel it. Revenue is fine, the team is good, but growth has stalled and nobody can say exactly why.
The A to Z Constraint Audit. $10,000 ex GST. Fixed price, two weeks.

Fixed price. Two weeks.
There is a reason. There almost always is. Usually one problem does most of the damage, with others stacked behind it, somewhere in your operations, workflow, systems or sales. Together they limit what the whole business can produce.
The A to Z Constraint Audit is a fixed-price, two-week review. We scan the whole business, A to Z, then go deep where the money is.
What the $10,000 Audit includes
The Audit is where every engagement starts. Two weeks, one fixed price, and both of us in your business.
- On site, remote or a mix
- We come to you for the half day that matters and work remotely for the rest. Interstate and overseas businesses get the same Audit at the same price.
- Every department, in the room
- An hour with each department head, or the people who actually run each area, so we understand the business as it is today, not as the org chart says.
- The whole business, A to Z
- All 26 areas checked, from admin and approvals to zero-value work. Most are quick checks. We go deep where the money is.
- Where technology returns the most
- Which problems technology fixes, what each fix costs, what it is worth a year and which goes first. Ranked by return, so your spend lands where it pays back fastest.
You leave the debrief with the quick wins, the A to Z Roadmap and the workbook that shows every sum.
A personal touch
We think the work goes better in the room. So we fly to you and sit with you and your team, inside your business, where the constraints are.
- In person
- We come to you, interstate or overseas, and work alongside the people who run each area.
- Online
- If remote suits you, every session runs the same way on a call: the same people, the same agenda, the same workbook.
- A mix of both
- The half day that matters in the room, the rest on screen. You choose, and you can change your mind.
The Audit, the Build and everything between are shaped around your company. No two businesses run the same way, so you do not get a template or a product off the shelf. The plan is built for yours, and so is the software.
What we scan, A to Z
We check all twenty-six areas in every Audit. Most are quick checks. We go deep on the few where the money is. [CONFIRM the list matches how you audit]

What's holding you back, named and ranked.
Every problem limiting your growth, biggest first, in plain language, with evidence.
What each one costs you.
What each problem is costing you in revenue and profit, per month, right now.
The quick wins.
Opportunities you can implement yourself, at no cost, this week. Every one arrives with its dollar value attached, and they're yours regardless of what happens next.
The A to Z Roadmap.
Your step-by-step plan for everything that needs building: what, in what order and at what price. Yours to keep, whoever does the work.
The workbook.
Every finding comes with its maths: the raw data, the assumptions, the sources, the sums. You can check our work line by line.
Two weeks, day by day
- Day 1Kick-off. An hour with you. Our one-page data request lands.

What it takes from you
- Your time: a one-hour kick-off and the debrief.
- Your department heads: an hour each.
- Your premises: half a day on site. It's how we prefer to run it.
- Your data: 12 to 24 months of P&L, your CRM or pipeline export, quoting or job data, and an org chart. The one-page request tells you exactly what, and in what format.
If your business can't host, the Audit runs fully remote over video. Same price, same two weeks, same deliverable.
Your data
- Mutual NDA signed before any data changes hands.
- Stored in Australia. [CONFIRM]
- Deleted after the engagement, unless you ask us to keep it for your next Audit. [CONFIRM retention]
- Seen only by the two of us, and by specialists under NDA if a Build needs them.
- No tool we use trains on your data. [CONFIRM]
The price
$10,000 ex GST. Fixed. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices. Travel within Australia is included.
If you proceed to the Build within 30 days, the $10,000 comes off the Build price. You've already paid for step one.
Who this is for
Established companies doing $5m+ a year, with real customers and growth that has stalled for reasons nobody has had time to find. The Audit is delivered by the two people who would run your Build. Nothing is handed to juniors.
Questions we get asked
No. The Roadmap is yours, whoever executes it. It's written so your team, or anyone else, can run it.
