A paid diagnostic for service founders doing $1M to $8M. You send your numbers, I spend ninety minutes finding the leak before we ever talk, and you show up to a 45-minute readout and an eight-page assessment that ranks what to fix first. No discovery call, no pitch, no deck.
Service businesses doing $1M to $8M lose 8 to 15 percent of revenue to operational waste, and almost none of it shows up where you'd think to look. It's the software seats nobody logs into, the tools you're paying for twice, the work your team delivers past what got invoiced, the hire you keep deciding to make next quarter. At your size that's somewhere between $80K and $1.2M a year, sitting in the business, doing nothing.

Most of it never shows up on a report, which is exactly why it's still there. It takes someone going in after it, and that's the part I do. The figure I come back with is your Ghostbuster Number, the money that's been haunting the business from a place you'd never have thought to look. It's run against your real books and ranked by what's costing you most, so you leave with the number, not a hunch about it.
The dollar figure of operational money sitting idle in your business, run against your real numbers and ranked by what to kill first.
Where decisions stall, where work piles up, and the one that keeps routing back to you when it never should.
In your inbox within 48 hours. Your bottleneck, your two org charts, your hiring, your delegation, and how close you are to a real week off.
One of three honest answers. Do a Sprint, bring in an operator, or not yet. No upsell script, the recommendation is whatever your numbers say.
The work happens before the call, not during it. You answer five intake questions after you book, I spend ninety minutes running your numbers against the operator framework, and the 45 minutes we spend together is me walking you through what I already found.
Revenue, team size, where the money goes, where you delegate, where you're stuck. Five questions, one Typeform.
Ninety minutes with your numbers and the operator framework. Your Ghostbuster Number gets calculated here.
We open on your number and walk the five surfaces. The written assessment lands within 48 hours.
Twelve slots a month. The cap is real, and the calendar fills three to four weeks out.
The eight pages walk the five places founder-dependent businesses break down, and by the end you can see the whole machine instead of just the part that hurts this week.
The PDF closes with a recommendation built on what shows up in your numbers, not on what I'd like to sell you. Sometimes the answer is "not yet," and that's the whole reason it's worth charging for.
You can run with the diagnosis, you just need the full operator map and a 90-day plan you'll actually follow. Three to four weeks, $15,000 fixed.
The problem isn't knowing what to do. It's needing someone inside the business doing it with you. Embedded, ten to twelve hours a week, six-month minimum. $12,000 a month.
There's a move that comes before the Sprint, and the assessment names it. The Sprint becomes the right call once that one's done.
If you're not sure where you land, take the Founder Dependency Audit first. Ten questions, two minutes, an honest score.
The Clean Sweep is the first read, not the whole road. Here's a founder who took the whole thing.
“Over the past 5 years, I am able to travel and work remotely 200 days per year while my home service business runs smoothly without my physical presence. It was all part of the vision and plan that Carter and I dreamt up and it's pretty epic to be living it in real life.”
I run the Clean Sweep myself, every time. The diagnostic isn't outsourced, the assessment isn't ghostwritten, the 45 minutes is me.
I've operated inside more than 30 founder-led companies since 2019, up to a $21M operation, and almost every time the same thing is true. The founder is the bottleneck, and the business can't run a week without them. After enough founders asked me the same question, where is my money actually going, I built the diagnostic that answers it in an afternoon.
I take twelve of these a month. That's not scarcity for show, it's the math of running each one properly and writing the assessment myself.
Forty-five minutes, eight pages, and the real dollar figure of the money sitting still in your business. Twelve slots a month, and they fill three to four weeks out, so if you want this month's read, now's the time to grab it.
