Small business. Real work. Western Pennsylvania.
Baseline it.
Overhaul it.
Get it done.
Practical operations consulting for growing small businesses that need clearer processes, stronger execution, and a better view of what’s happening.
One recurring headache is enough to start.
The B.O.G. Method

or all three.

The B.O.G. Method
Bogged down?
There’s a method for that.
Three steps, one for each thing we do. Hire us for the one you need, or take all three. When you take all three, we measure again at the end so you can see the difference.
B
Business Intelligence & Reporting
Baseline it
Know what’s happening. Know where to act.
Turn scattered spreadsheets and business data into clear reports and dashboards that show what needs attention.
- Less repetitive, manual reporting
- Measures that answer useful questions
- A clearer view of workload and results
Good on its own when you’re running on gut feel, or on reports nobody trusts.
Visibility into the things that matter: jobs, revenue, staffing, quality, or backlog.
O
Process Improvement
Overhaul it
Make everyday work easier to manage.
We map how work actually happens, find unnecessary steps, and fix the handoffs that lead to delays, rework, and recurring mistakes.
- Clear steps and responsibilities
- Fewer repeat errors and bottlenecks
- Workflows your team can follow
Good on its own when you know which process is the problem and want it fixed.
Proven methods, including Lean Six Sigma. Practical changes your business can use.
G
Project Execution
Get it done
Get important work across the finish line.
Important projects shouldn’t depend on the owner remembering everything. We organize the work, establish ownership, and keep deadlines and issues visible.
- A workable plan and clear owners
- Coordination and steady follow-through
- Risks raised before work stalls
Good on its own when you’ve decided on a change and need someone to see it through.
Project management that keeps work moving and reduces the need to chase updates.
Not sure where to start? Start with an Operations Checkup.
Start small
Start with an Operations Checkup.
Pick the one process that causes the most trouble. We spend half a day watching how it actually runs, then give you a short written report: what’s going wrong, why, and what we’d change.
The price is fixed and the Checkup stands on its own. You don’t need a larger engagement to get something useful.
Introductory price
$495 fixed, for one process
- A discovery call, 30–60 minutes
- One half-day visit, 3–4 hours on site
- A short written report with findings and recommendations
- A 30–60 minute walkthrough of the report
One Checkup covers one process. Anything larger is quoted separately, before any work begins.
Inside the Checkup
Your Operations Checkup, from start to finish.
Every step has a time limit, so you know what you’re paying for and how much of your day it takes.
01
Discovery call
30–60 minutes
You describe what keeps going wrong. We agree on the one process to look at and set a date for the visit.
02
Half-day visit
3–4 hours on site
We watch the work as it actually happens and talk with the people who do it.
03
Written report
Within 5 business days of the visit
A short report: the process as it runs today, where time or information gets lost, and what we recommend changing.
04
Walkthrough
30–60 minutes
We go through the report together and answer your questions, so you can act on it with or without us.
If the Checkup turns up a fix worth making, we’ll quote it as a separate project. There’s no obligation to continue.

Clearer handoffs
“Our spreadsheet takes hours every week.”
More useful reporting
“Jobs keep getting held up at the same point.”
Fewer bottlenecks
“The owner has to chase everyone for updates.”
Visible responsibilities
“We started this project six months ago.”
