Not every brand is ready for a full operational engagement. The Operational Snapshot is designed for founder-led food brands that want a clear, honest picture of where their operations stand — without the commitment of a full assessment.

What You Get

In 5 business days, we deliver a focused written report covering:

  • Your top 3 operational risk areas — ranked by urgency and financial impact
  • A margin leakage estimate based on your current production model
  • A gap analysis across documentation, compliance readiness, and co-pack accountability
  • A prioritized action plan: what to fix first, what to defer, and what to stop doing

This is not a slide deck. It is a working document your team can act on immediately.

How It Works

  1. You apply and we confirm fit — typically within 24 hours.
  2. We send a structured intake form covering your current operations, co-pack relationships, production volume, and compliance status.
  3. We conduct one 60-minute working session with you or your operations lead.
  4. We deliver your Operational Snapshot report within 5 business days.

Investment

$4,500 — flat fee, no retainer, no ongoing commitment.

Most brands recover this cost within the first week of acting on the report. If your Snapshot reveals that a full Operational Intelligence Assessment is warranted, the $4,500 is credited toward that engagement.

Who This Is For

  • Food brands generating $1M to $5M in revenue that suspect operational problems but are not yet ready to commit to a full engagement
  • Founders preparing for a fundraise or retail expansion who need an honest operational audit before investors ask
  • Brands that recently changed co-packers or manufacturing models and need a fast read on what broke
  • Operators who know something is wrong but cannot identify exactly where to focus

This Is Not For You If

You are pre-revenue or under $1M in annual revenue. You are looking for general business consulting or coaching. You want a document that validates decisions you have already made. We will tell you directly if the Snapshot is not the right fit during the application review.

Apply for the Operational Snapshot

Applications are reviewed within one business day. We only take a limited number of Snapshots per month to ensure quality of delivery.
