A fractional COO runs the play. The audit tells you which play to run.

They're not competitors — they're sequential. Most organizations need the diagnosis before the ongoing hire.

If you already know exactly what's broken and need someone to run the fix, a fractional COO is the move. If you're not certain where the real constraint is — or you're about to make an expensive hire to solve it — start with the diagnosis. Five days and a fixed fee buys you the map before you commit to a retainer.

Five days from now, you'll know exactly what to change.

Stop being the bottleneck. Get the read, get the five moves, and get back to building.
