Results in 10 working days · Fixed fee · No surprises
Sample scorecard output
Who it's for
Built for founders, COOs, and delivery leads scaling fast and feeling the friction
Startups · 10–30 people
You have engineers but no real delivery process
No PM, no ceremonies, no tooling hygiene. Everyone's busy but the most important things keep slipping.
Scale-ups · 30–100 people
Growth is exposing every gap in how you deliver
What worked with 10 people breaks at 50. You need to professionalise without slowing down.
Pre-fundraise · Series A/B
Boards and investors want proof you can execute, not just ideate
A credible delivery operation signals the company's a safe bet. This audit shows the gaps before due diligence — or the next board meeting — does.
The problem
Sound familiar?
These are the most common signs delivery is under strain. Most leadership teams know something is wrong — they just don't know where to start fixing it.
Get your answer — $997Launches keep slipping and nobody can explain exactly why
Every decision gets stuck waiting for one person's sign-off
You hired more engineers but the team didn't get faster
Your project tracker exists but nobody trusts it or updates it
You're the one chasing the team for status updates, every single week
The team is always firefighting — no rhythm, no predictability
What's assessed
Four areas that determine whether your team ships reliably
Each area is assessed against PMP, SAFe, and DORA benchmarks — rated Red, Amber, or Green with specific findings and recommendations.
Process & Ceremonies
Are your Agile rituals creating real clarity and momentum — or just filling calendars? We assess sprint planning, standups, retros, and whether your team has a shared definition of done.
Tooling & Visibility
Does your project tracker reflect reality? We audit Jira, Linear, or whatever you're using — looking at board hygiene, DORA metrics, and whether blockers are actually surfaced.
Team Structure & Ownership
Is there a single person accountable for delivery — or does everything flow through you? We map ownership gaps, structural bottlenecks, and where decisions stall.
Stakeholder & Exec Reporting
Does your leadership know what's being built and when — before they have to ask? We assess your reporting rhythm and how delivery status reaches the board.

Genuine strengths to protect and build on — not just criticism
Is this right for you?
Honest about who this helps most
✅ Good fit
- →Engineers on the team but no dedicated delivery manager or PM
- →Founder, COO, or delivery lead spending too much time on coordination instead of strategy
- →10–100 people and things feel increasingly chaotic
- →Fundraise coming up — need to tighten operations
- →Want a fast, expert outside view — not a 6-month engagement
⚠️ Not the right fit
- →Pre-product or still building your first MVP solo
- →Already have a strong Head of Delivery or CTO running process
- →Want someone to implement the changes, not diagnose them
- →Need a full programme management office (offered separately)
