The Clean Sweep Stage 02 · Paid Diagnostic

The $2,500 call that finds six figures of waste.

A 45-minute paid call and a written 8-page operator assessment for service founders doing $1M to $8M. You submit your numbers. I run the diagnostic privately. You show up to the verdict.

$2,500 · 45-min call · 8-page PDF in 48 hours · 12 slots/month
§ 01 · The Premise

You're leaking six figures and don't know where.

Service businesses doing $1M to $8M leak 8 to 15 percent of revenue to operational waste. Subscriptions nobody uses. Seats nobody needs. Processes nobody automated. Hires nobody made.

$80K to $1.2M.

Range of waste at $1M to $8M revenue

The Clean Sweep finds yours. The deliverable is called the Ghostbuster Number. It's the actual dollar figure of operational money sitting in your business not working. You don't get an opinion. You get a number.

§ 02 · What You Get

Four things for $2,500.

01

The Ghostbuster Number

The dollar figure of operational waste in your business. Calculated against your actual numbers, not a benchmark.

02

The bottleneck verdict

Where decisions stall, where work gets stuck, and which one of those routes back to you when it shouldn't.

03

A written 8-page assessment

Branded PDF delivered within 48 hours. Covers your bottleneck, org chart, hiring, delegation, and walk-away readiness.

04

The path forward

One of three honest answers: do a Sprint, get a Fractional COO, or not yet. No upsell scripts. Just the verdict.

§ 03 · How It Works

You submit. I diagnose. You get the verdict.

The work happens before the call, not during it. You answer five intake questions. I spend 90 minutes running the diagnostic against your numbers. The 45-minute call is the readout, not the analysis.

01
Step 01 · After Payment

Five-minute intake.

Revenue, team size, where you spend, where you delegate, where you're stuck. Submitted via Typeform.

02
Step 02 · Before the Call

I run the diagnostic.

Ninety minutes of privately analyzing your numbers against the operator framework. The Ghostbuster Number gets calculated.

03
Step 03 · The Verdict

45-minute call, then PDF.

We open with your number. We walk the five surfaces. Within 48 hours, the written assessment lands in your inbox.

Twelve slots a month. The cap is real. Calendar fills 3 to 4 weeks ahead.

§ 04 · The Assessment

Five surfaces. One operator picture.

The 8-page PDF walks the five places founder-dependent businesses break down. By the end you can see the whole machine, not just the part that hurts today.

01
Bottleneck
Where decisions route, and which of them shouldn't be the founder's. Surfaced via the Ghostbuster Number on Page 2.
02
Org Chart
Where real escalation flows, and where it diverges from the official chart. Most $1M-$8M businesses have two charts. We map both.
03
Hiring
What role the business actually needs next, scoped 12 months out. Not the role you wish you needed. The role that unsticks the bottleneck.
04
Delegation
What you should be giving away, who should be holding it, and what authority comes with it. Most founders delegate tasks. The real move is delegating decisions.
05
Walk-Away Readiness
How close you are to leaving for a week without your phone. Scored honestly. This is the test the business is being optimized for.
§ 05 · The Path Forward

You leave with one of three answers.

The PDF closes with a recommendation. It's based on what we surface, not on what I'm trying to sell. Sometimes the answer is Pattern C. That's the point.

Pattern A

Do the Diagnostic Sprint.

You can execute with the diagnosis. You need the full operator map and a 90-day plan you'll actually run. Three to four weeks. $15,000 fixed.

Sprint · $15K · 3-4 wks
Pattern B

Get a Fractional COO.

The gap isn't what to do. It's needing someone running it with you. Embedded, 10-12 hours a week, 6-month minimum. $12,000 per month.

Fractional COO · $12K/mo · 6-mo min
Pattern C

Not yet.

A different first move comes before the Sprint. The assessment guides the next 90 days. The Sprint becomes the right call once that move is made.

Standalone · Door stays open
§ 06 · Fit

Real businesses only.

This is for you if

  • You're a service business founder doing $1M to $8M
  • The business runs because you run it
  • You haven't taken a real two-week break in over a year
  • You suspect you're leaking money but can't name where
  • You're past the scrappy stage and ready to operate

This isn't for you if

  • You're under $1M revenue (the math doesn't work yet)
  • You sell product, e-commerce, or SaaS (wrong operator)
  • You want a coach, a consultant, or a deck
  • You think you can figure it out alone
  • You'd rather pay $497 for something that fits in an email

Not sure where you land? Take the Founder Dependency Audit first. Ten questions, two minutes, an honest score.

§ 07 · The Operator

I'm Carter. The operator your business needed six months ago.

Fractional COO for service founders doing $1M to $8M. Based in Atlanta. I run the Clean Sweep myself, every time. The diagnostic isn't outsourced. The PDF isn't ghostwritten. The 45 minutes is me.

I built CLN Agency because the founders I worked with kept asking the same question. "Where is my money going?" After enough $80K-$1.2M answers, I built the diagnostic that surfaces it in a single afternoon.

I take twelve of these a month. That's not scarcity marketing. That's the math of running the diagnostic properly and writing the assessment myself.
