1Hypothesis and data
What exactly we test and on which data.
Express Business Audit
Quickly understand where to look for the cause. We test one hypothesis on your data and name the main constraint. It's a standalone product, not the start of a big project.

How we work
1
2Testing
Economics, sales, management and processes, to the extent they relate to the hypothesis.
3Constraint
Whether the hypothesis was confirmed and what turned out to be the main constraint.
4Next step
What to examine more deeply and who makes the decision.
Sound familiar?
- The team doesn't agree on what the main problem is.
- Decisions are made before the source data is checked.
- You need to figure out quickly where to go next.
What usually lies behind it
An express audit doesn't replace the EMET Diagnostic or in-depth work, but it helps separate a systemic problem from noise. The key condition is a hypothesis. A request to "look at everything" turns the audit into a description of the company.
What you get
An answer: whether the hypothesis was confirmed, and why.
A map of observations and priorities.
A next step with an owner, with no obligation to buy a project.
The cost of waiting
If nothing changes
- 01
The team will keep arguing about symptoms.
- 02
Resources will go into initiatives with no proven benefit.
- 03
The problem may get more expensive before the next review.
When you don't need this service
- There's no hypothesis, and you need a view of the whole system. Then the EMET Diagnostic.
- There's no data to test. The audit will start by restoring it, and the timeline needs to allow for that.
How to tell it worked
Tested hypothesis
whether there's a clear answer.
Recipient
whether someone is assigned to make a decision based on the findings.
Next step
whether it's named, with a deadline.
Questions
What does an express audit include?
A check of economics, sales, management and processes in the part where the constraint may lie. The result is a map of observations and priorities.
How is an express audit different from the EMET Diagnostic?
An express audit tests one hypothesis. The EMET Diagnostic examines the whole system and opens a longer engagement.
Do we have to keep working together afterward?
No. If it becomes clear you don't need EMET, we'll say so.
