The Operations Leakage Audit
Enter your own figures and watch a live estimate of the annual cost build as you type.
The biggest costs in your operations aren't on the payroll line. They're the manual work hiding between systems: the handoffs nobody tracks, the reports nobody reads, the approvals sitting in inboxes for days. Work through the seven sections below with your own figures.
Work passes from site to back office by memory, text, or verbal handoff, with no system of record. Every re-entry is a paid touch and a paid error.
One wrong code, one stale cell, one version that should have been the latest. The error propagates through every downstream report until someone catches it, usually late.
An approval routes through two or more people with no single owner. Spend slips through unchecked, or work stalls for days while nobody decides.
Someone spends days compiling the weekly report. By the time leadership reads it, the numbers are old, and decisions get made on stale data.
A change order gets agreed verbally on site. The firm does the work, pays for it, and never invoices the client. Money earned, spent, and never collected.
When a schedule slips, nobody attaches a dollar figure. The delay is free on paper. It is expensive in reality: idle labour, idle equipment, extended overhead.
The operational map lives in one person's head. The firm is one resignation, one illness, or one vacation away from a leak it cannot locate or reconstruct. This is not a measured cost. It is a risk estimate.
