Notes
Notes from the operational forest
Plain writing on operations, systems, and what makes a business worth more when it runs without you. No newsletter to join — I publish here, you read here.
My own site was nearly invisible to AI. Here's what I fixed
I ran my own website through the exact AI-search audit I'd run for a client. Technically healthy — and still invisible. Here's what I found, and the fixes (mostly free).
Your business is worth more when it runs without you
What happens if you take two weeks off? The answer is what the business is worth — plus the $1.2M of phantom deadstock that wasn't really there.
What does an operations consultant actually do?
Not a workshop, not a slide deck. The real distinctions — vs management consultant, coach, fractional COO — and what the work actually looks like.
Practice Notes
Field notes from the work itself — the patterns I keep seeing in how small businesses run, break, and get themselves ready for whatever comes next.
Rogue Reads
A nod to the parent company, Rogue Bureaucrat. Short, honest reads on the books behind the practice — operations, exit planning, transitions — and what actually holds up in the field.
Reading is a fine place to start
When you're ready to do something about what you're reading, the door's open.
