The Control Review

What's throttling your agency?

A fixed-scope diagnostic that finds the constraint limiting your agency's output - before anything gets built. Read-only, in your own systems, with the findings priced in writing. Priced findings before any build.

$3,500–$5,000

Fixed and scoped to your stack. Ten business days. Credited in full toward build work within 30 days.

No deck. Bring your messiest workflow.

What the review is.

Your ATS and CRM, BD and outreach systems, dashboards, spreadsheets, and existing automations - inspected read-only, measured on their own facts, and returned to you as three documents and a readout.

What gets inspected

Your ATS and CRM, BD and outreach systems, dashboards, spreadsheets, and existing automations - through read-only access or exports - plus about ninety minutes of your team's time, split between you and one recruiter. Nothing writes to your systems during the review.

Thirty minutes. We'll talk through how your agency actually runs and whether the review is the right next step. If it isn't, I'll say so on the call.

Rather write first? [email protected] - send the list of tools you run.

Straight answers.

Will we have to switch systems?

No. The build runs on the stack you already have - Loxo, Bullhorn, LinkedIn, the spreadsheets your team actually uses. Replacing a tool only ever shows up as a Build Map recommendation with the case attached; it's never the starting assumption. The problem is rarely the tools. It's the gaps between them.

How disruptive is this for my team?

The review costs your team about ninety minutes, total, and nothing writes to your systems. Builds ship the same way: one workflow at a time, monitored from day one, with your team's current habits left alone until the new workflow has proven itself in the logs. Nobody's desk gets reorganized mid-quarter.

What if the constraint isn't what I think it is?

That's the reason to inspect first. The obvious guess is recruiter admin - sometimes it's right. Just as often delivery is fine and the pipeline is starving, or the data can't support either answer yet. The review exists so the first build is aimed at the real constraint instead of the loudest symptom.

What happens after the review?

You own the Constraint Map and the Build Map either way - build with me, hand them to your own team, or sit on them. If we build together, the review fee comes off the first module and the work is mine personally: I take two engagements at a time, so nothing gets handed to a bench. The retainer only exists for systems that are already running.

Two engagements at a time.

The first step is fixed-price and read-only - because your operation should be measured on its own facts, not forced into somebody else's case study. If we build together, the review fee comes off the first module.
