What I Do
I expose the hidden wiring of organizations. While consultants fix symptoms, I map the real structure—the informal pathways, decision bottlenecks, and dependency chains that silently bleed revenue. My work is non-obvious, forensic, and structural. I deliver what org charts and process docs never will: the truth of how your business actually operates.
How I Work
I don’t interview for opinions. I map from observable data: public signals, hiring patterns, customer complaints, org charts, earnings calls, Glassdoor reviews, and social listening. Then I reconstruct the actual topology—the hidden flows of money, information, and power. Every friction point is quantified. Every recommendation is a structural rewiring, not a bandage.
The output is a forensic map and a remediation topology. No slide decks. No jargon. Just the architectural truth and an execution roadmap.
Sample Analysis: Public Demonstration
The following is a surface-level topology scan of a well-known public failure—Blockbuster's collapse between 2000 and 2010. It was built entirely from public data and demonstrates the diagnostic lens I apply to client engagements.
Friction 1: Late Fee Dependency Loop. Revenue model relied on a pain point (late fees) that customers despised. The topology had a single revenue node with no redundancy. When Netflix removed that friction entirely, Blockbuster’s core revenue node collapsed because it had been structurally optimized for extraction, not retention.
Friction 2: Physical Inventory Bottleneck. Store inventory was a fixed-capacity node. High-demand new releases had a 72-hour availability window before stock-out. The supply chain topology had no dynamic redistribution pathway, so 20% of titles generated 80% of foot traffic that frequently went unsatisfied.
Friction 3: Decision-Making Rigidity. A centralized franchising model meant store-level operators had zero autonomy to adjust pricing, layout, or inventory. The feedback loop from customer dissatisfaction to corporate strategy took quarters, while Netflix iterated in weeks. Topology had a single command node that was too slow for market shifts.
This analysis is a demonstration of method, built from historical public sources. No client data was used.
Engagements
- Business Topology Diagnostic — Full structural map, friction quantification, remediation topology, and 90-day roadmap. 5-day delivery.
- Ecosystem Blind Spot Audit — External dependency mapping, single points of failure, and competitive topology shifts.
- Advisory Retainer — Ongoing structural intelligence for scaling, M&A, or restructuring.
Beta Program
I am currently hardening my methodology with a limited number of beta clients at a significantly reduced rate. In exchange for a candid testimonial and permission to use anonymized structural insights, you receive the full diagnostic engagement.
If you run a company of 5–100 people and suspect your internal wiring is costing more than you can see, request a free surface topology scan. No obligation. I’ll deliver a one-page friction map built from public data. If it’s not useful, we part ways.
