The Operating Stack Self‑Audit
Most teams can’t say where their week actually goes. This walks you through the same five layers I use in a paid audit, and gives you a number, a weakest layer, and one thing to do first.
You name the work that’s actually costing you. Not what’s trending. The recurring work in your business that eats real hours.
You score five layers. Friction, Anatomy, Connections, People, Tools. Twenty questions, and each one is designed to be worth answering even if you never speak to me.
You get a real result. An hours-per-year estimate built from your own numbers, your weakest layer named, and your workflows placed on a time-versus-effort grid so you know what to fix first.
I never ask for your email. There’s no form at the end, no sequence, no newsletter, no account. Your results open straight on the screen and the full report downloads as a PDF, free, and it’s yours to keep. Nothing you type here is collected, stored, or sent anywhere. If you have questions when you reach the end, I’ll tell you exactly how to reach me.
The Operating Stack Self‑Audit
A micro audit of how your team actually works, where the hours are going, and what to change first.
Layer profile
Higher is always better. Zero sits at the center, 100 at the edge, and every axis runs the same way. A score is how well you handle that layer, not how much of it you have. Friction at 80 means you’re good at seeing what your work costs, not that you have a lot of friction. The dotted ring is your own average, so you can see which layers carry you and which drag.
Layer detail
Where the hours are
Your own numbers. Recovery rate is applied from how repeatable you said each workflow is: highly repeatable work is assumed 40 percent recoverable, partly repeatable 22 percent, bespoke 7 percent. Deliberately cautious.
The triage grid
Hours consumed against how repeatable the work is. Top right is where you start, because repeatable work is the cheap work to change.

Everything this report was calculated from
Your weakest layer has a name now.
This was the rough version: your estimates, my scoring. The Operating Stack Audit is the same five layers run properly, with the hours measured instead of guessed — $1,000, fixed scope, and you can stop after the working session and pay nothing. Nothing you entered was collected or stored. If you want to talk about the full Audit, or you just have a question about your result, the address below reaches me directly.
