What does busywork cost your team each month?

Status reports put together by hand, approvals chased, the same thing typed into two tools, files nobody can find. Tell me roughly how many hours go to each and what an hour costs you. The estimate shows on this page as you type, and you don't need to give an email to see it.

Your top 3 leaks

The same columns as the audit report. The difference is the fourth one: here every number is your estimate, and in the audit each one is counted from an interview or a recording.

Workflow	Who	Hours a week	Counted from	Cost a month
Looking for files	12 people	12	Your estimate	£1,820
Status reports by hand	3 people	6	Your estimate	£910
Chasing approvals	2 people	6	Your estimate	£910
Typing it in twice	2 people	4	Your estimate	£610
The leak		28		£4,250

What the audit would count instead

01
Looking for files
Counts the searches in a recorded working day, how long each took, and where the file was in the end.
02
Status reports by hand
Records one real reporting cycle and counts every person who touches it, and for how long.
03
Chasing approvals
Traces a week of approvals through email and chat, and times the waiting as well as the work.

The breakdown on one page, to keep or forward to whoever signs off on tools.

When you want the real number.

The Ops Leak Audit swaps these estimates for a count. I talk to the people who do the work, watch the costliest workflows run, and price the fix, including when the answer is to keep the tool you have.

$3,500 fixed for one team, with a written report about two weeks after kickoff.
