Case studies

What a measurable increment looks like.

The examples below show the shape of the work — a defined objective, a measured result. They are illustrative: the businesses and numbers are examples, not real client data. Real, attributed results will be published here as clients agree to share them.

Every card below is labeled Illustrative example for that reason. No client names or actual figures are represented.

Trust the Balance Sheet

Illustrative example

An owner couldn't rely on the balance sheet to make decisions — accounts hadn't been reconciled in months and several balances looked wrong.

BeforeStatements not trusted; decisions delayed
AfterReconciled; owner & accountant signed off

Improve Accounts Receivable

Illustrative example

Receivables were aging and no one was sure what was truly collectible, which made cash planning guesswork.

BeforeLarge aged AR; no follow-up process
AfterAging current; repeatable collections routine

Improve Job Cost Reporting

Illustrative example

The business was busy but couldn't tell which jobs made money, because costs weren't tracked consistently against revenue.

BeforePer-job margin invisible
AfterCosts tracked by job; margin visible & trusted

Why illustrative? We won't invent client names or metrics. Honesty is the whole point of the method.
