02 — How the audit works

A hands-on diagnostic, not a surface-level review.

Tom connects virtually with selected members of your team, then blends AI-powered analysis with senior human judgment to deliver an objective read on your inbound and outbound performance.

01

1:1 interviews & targeted questionnaires

We talk to the people who actually run your funnel — founders, sellers, marketers — to understand how your processes, messaging, and handoffs really work, not how the org chart says they should.

02

AI-powered analysis, anchored by human insight

The analysis is sharpened by AI and grounded by an experienced human — not a generic automated "audit tool," and not expensive guesswork. Signal and judgment, working together.

Signal × judgment
03

A prioritized, ROI-framed fix list

You get an objective assessment plus a ranked set of actionable recommendations — the ones with the most impact first. Your own team, or your existing agency, executes. Tom doesn't sell you the fix he prescribes.

03 — What's inside the audit

A finding looks like this.

Every misalignment is named, scored for severity, framed by the return on fixing it, and ranked. Here's a representative page from the report — so you know what you're buying before you book.

The problem

Each misalignment is named plainly — no jargon, no hedging.

The payoff

Every fix carries an ROI frame, so you spend on what moves the number.

The order

Findings are ranked by impact — your team knows exactly what to fix first.

All figures shown are illustrative examples of the report format — not real client results.
04 — vs. an agency

Clarity without the retainer trap.

Misalignment is invisible and expensive — and most agencies want a fat retainer to maybe figure it out. The audit sits between “argue internally” and “hire a full-service agency,” with no incentive to inflate the problem.

What misalignment quietly costs you

When marketing and sales work from different definitions, pipeline leaks at every handoff — and no one owns the leak.

Objective & outside

A senior external read your internal team — too close to the problem — can't produce on its own.

No conflict of interest

Tom doesn't sell the execution he recommends — so the diagnosis stays honest.

Fixed scope, affordable, fast

A defined virtual engagement at a real price — the anti-retainer. Clarity without a long commitment.

Built for distributed GTM teams

Tuned to remote-first and hybrid sales & marketing orgs, where handoffs silently break over Slack and CRM.

05 — Who runs the audit

An objective second opinion — not another retainer.

You can't read the label from inside the jar. Tom is the senior specialist who runs the tests and writes the chart; your team delivers the treatment. One person, one focused diagnostic, a straight answer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the things prospects most often ask before booking the audit.

  • What does the audit actually deliver?

    A written report ranking misalignment findings by severity and ROI, plus a 60-minute walkthrough.

  • How long does it take?

    From kickoff to final report — typically two weeks, all virtual.

  • Will you also implement the fixes?

    No — the audit is intentionally separated from execution to keep the diagnosis honest. Your team or your agency owns the fixes.

  • What if we already have an agency?

    Most clients do. The audit gives you a second opinion that's outside the agency relationship.
