01 / REVENUE
Revenue gets created but moves slowly.
Completed work is not billed quickly, opportunities go stale, collections drag, or earned value gets stuck between teams.
Revenue + Operations Diagnostic
When the problem is expensive, guessing is expensive.
For growing companies where revenue, margin or execution is underperforming and leadership cannot yet clearly see why. We investigate where value is being lost, quantify the exposure, and determine what needs to change before the company spends money implementing the wrong fix.
What is actually happening?Separate the visible symptom from the operating cause.
What is the exposure?Put a defensible number against the problem where the evidence allows it.
What needs to change?Prioritize the controls and recovery work leadership should act on first.
What we focus on
One commercially important problem. Investigated properly.
This is not a broad operations audit. We isolate the business outcome that matters, trace how value moves through the relevant teams and systems, and determine where the process begins to fail.
The issue may present as billing, margin, execution, reporting or ownership. We do not assume the visible symptom is the cause. We follow the evidence until leadership can make a better decision.
02 / MARGIN
Growth is not translating into profit.
Delivery friction, rework, exceptions, poor handoffs or weak controls quietly consume margin.
03 / EXECUTION
The same operational problems keep returning.
Teams react to exceptions, but ownership, thresholds, escalation and closure are not strong enough to stop recurrence.
04 / VISIBILITY
Leadership sees numbers, but not the cause.
Data exists across several systems, yet it does not explain what is happening or where intervention is needed.
05 / HANDOFFS
Important work falls between functions.
Sales, operations, finance, CX or delivery each do their part, but value gets lost at the handoff.
06 / DEPENDENCY
Too much still depends on leadership follow-through.
Critical coordination, decisions and escalation only move when a founder or executive intervenes.
What you leave with
Evidence, exposure and a clear decision path.
The output is not a generic audit or a collection of observations. The work connects evidence to business impact, distinguishes fact from hypothesis, and shows leadership what deserves action first.
Reality
A clear view of what is actually happening
We map the relevant workflow and show where work, information, ownership, revenue or margin starts to break down.
Exposure
The size of the problem
Where the evidence allows it, we quantify delayed revenue, trapped cash, margin loss, avoidable cost, capacity loss or another measurable consequence.
Cause
Root-cause findings
We separate what the data proves from what remains a working hypothesis so the business does not fix the wrong thing simply because it is the most visible symptom.
Recovery
A 90-day recovery plan
You leave with the operating controls, workflow changes, ownership changes and priorities that should happen now, next and later.
How it works
Investigate first. Prescribe second.
The engagement starts with the business question and the economic stakes, not a software recommendation, an automation idea or a predetermined conclusion.
01 / DEFINE
Define the problem
Agree on the business outcome we are investigating and what leadership needs to understand.
02 / BOUND
Set the data boundary
Identify the minimum systems, records and stakeholders required to answer the question properly.
03 / DIAGNOSE
Follow the evidence
Review the relevant data and workflows, identify material exceptions and test the likely causes.
04 / PRIORITIZE
Design the recovery path
Identify the operating controls that matter and sequence the recovery work by impact and confidence.
05 / DELIVER
Leadership review
Walk through the findings, implications, decisions and 90-day plan with the people responsible for acting on it.
10-business-day clock
The formal diagnostic period begins when the agreed evidence and access are sufficiently available. We call this Data Ready. We do not force conclusions from incomplete information simply because the contract has been signed.
Standard scope
Focused enough to get to the truth.
The engagement is intentionally bounded around one commercially important problem. It is not a full-company audit.
Primary business problem1
Core workflow / value flow1
Functional areasUp to 3
Systems / datasetsUp to 5
Key stakeholdersUp to 5
Historical dataUp to 12 months*
Formal client sessions3
*Where relevant to the business question and reasonably available.
Fit
The problem should be important enough that guessing is expensive.
The strongest fit is an established, growing company with a commercially meaningful issue, usable evidence, leadership access and a willingness to act if the Diagnostic proves something material.
Strong fit
- Typically €5M to €50M in annual revenue.
- Important work crosses multiple people, teams, systems, projects, locations or channels.
- Leadership can see the symptom but cannot confidently explain the cause.
- There is enough financial or operational evidence to investigate what is happening.
- Leadership is willing to act once the issue is clear.
- The potential economic or strategic exposure is materially larger than the €6,000 Diagnostic investment, with the strongest opportunities often reaching six figures.
Probably not the right engagement
- You only need someone to build a predefined dashboard or automation.
- The root cause is already proven and you simply need implementation.
- Relevant information or decision makers will not be made available.
- You need a financial audit, forensic investigation, legal advice, cybersecurity certification or specialist regulatory work.
- You want someone to validate a conclusion that has already been decided internally.

After the Diagnostic
You keep the findings either way.
The Revenue + Operations Diagnostic is a standalone engagement. There is no obligation to continue with Struktekale after delivery.
Know what to fix before you build more
If the problem matters, prove the cause before you fund the fix.
If revenue, margin or execution is underperforming and the cause is still unclear, start with the Diagnostic.
