─── Data Readiness & KPI Audit

Find out where your data really stands.

A paid, founder-delivered diagnostic that tells you exactly what you can trust, what's inconsistent, and what to fix first — before you invest in another tool, dashboard, or data initiative.

─── What this is (and isn't)

Hands-on. Founder-delivered. Written findings you can act on.

The Data Readiness & KPI Audit is a hands-on diagnostic engagement led by the founder — not an interactive online quiz or self-serve scorecard. We review your real reports, real systems, and real KPI definitions with you, then deliver written findings and a roadmap your leadership team can act on.

Most reporting and dashboard problems are not really technology problems. They are ownership, KPI, and process problems. Before you invest in another tool or rebuild a dashboard, it helps to know exactly where the issues live.

─── Why start here

Before you invest in another dashboard, it helps to know:

Which numbers can you actually trust today?

Which KPIs are inconsistently defined across departments?

Where is reporting effort being wasted on manual cleanup?

What is blocking you from being AI-ready?

What should you fix first — and in what order?

─── What's included

The full diagnostic.

Review of current reports, dashboards, processes, spreadsheets, and recurring metrics

Review of key data sources and systems

KPI definition assessment

Data quality and ownership review

Identification of manual reporting pain points

Assessment of AI readiness blockers

Prioritized quick wins

30, 60, and 90-day data roadmap

─── What's included

Deliverables your leadership team can act on.

Readiness findings summary

A clear, written view of where your data is solid and where it's shaky.

Reporting & KPI gap summary

A plain-English breakdown of where definitions are inconsistent and where trust is breaking down.

Priority roadmap (30/60/90-day)

A sequenced action plan that tells you what to fix first, second, and third — and why.

Executive recommendations

Specific, actionable guidance your leadership team can discuss and act on immediately.

─── Who it's for

Leaders who need the numbers to actually mean something.

If your leadership team is spending more time debating the numbers than acting on them, this is the right starting point.

Owners & Presidents

Need a single source of truth across the business.

COOs & VPs of Operations

Want reporting that drives operational decisions.

CFOs & Controllers

Need finance data that's clean, consistent, and trusted.

General Managers

Feel reporting is messy, slow, or unreliable.

─── What happens after the audit

A standalone deliverable — and often the starting line for what's next.

The Data Readiness & KPI Audit is designed to stand on its own — but it frequently becomes the starting line for a larger engagement. Once you have the roadmap in hand, many clients move into one of these next steps:

Fractional Data Officer retainer

Own the data strategy and execute the roadmap with embedded leadership.

Dashboards & Workflow Design

Build the reporting and decision systems your roadmap identifies as priorities.

Data Cleanup & Refresh

Start cleaning up the foundation so reporting becomes trustworthy.

AI Readiness Roadmap

Dig deeper into AI use cases now that you know where your data actually stands.

No pressure to commit to anything beyond the audit itself. The findings stand on their own — and so does the decision about what to do next.
