The Data Files Retainer
Ongoing process and operations advisory without adding another permanent headcount.
The problem
Operational questions don't arrive in neat projects.
Most businesses do not need a permanent process and operations function. They need experienced judgement available when a system changes, a team restructures, or a board asks a question nobody can answer yet.
Continuous support across the operational questions that keep arriving as the business changes.
What we do
- Act as an ongoing advisor to founders and operations leaders.
- Keep process documentation current as the business changes.
- Improve processes continuously rather than in one large push.
- Support operating model and system decisions as they arise.
