ONE WORKFLOWONE WRITTEN BRIEFONE PRACTICAL TESTYOURS TO KEEP

WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY

A useful decision.
Something to put to work.

01 / MAKE THE WORK VISIBLE

A map of the handoff.

What starts the work, where it waits, and which role owns the next step. Separate what we know from what still needs checking.

02 / CHOOSE A SMALL TEST

One change your team can try.

A practical action using your existing tools where possible, with ownership and a review date you can agree to.

03 / CHECK WHAT HAPPENS

A measure for your first week.

A starting point, an agreed test date, and an observable measure. Use the first seven days of the agreed test to assess the change.

IS THIS THE RIGHT NEXT STEP?

Bring an example.
Be ready to try a change.

The review is designed for an owner or operations leader who can involve the person responsible for the workflow.

  • An active service business with a recurring issue.
  • One recent inquiry, estimate, opportunity, or customer handoff to discuss.
  • A role that can own a small test in the next 30–90 days.

The review is free. If ongoing support is worth exploring, HOG Core starts at $3,500 setup + $2,500/month for any one Operation. Paid scope is a separate decision.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. 1. Give us useful context.

    Choose one workflow and describe a recent example. Review the request before adding your contact details.

  2. 2. Confirm fit and a time.

    Lathen reviews the request and confirms whether HOG can help with that scope. A request is not a booked meeting.

  3. 3. Work through one bottleneck.

    Use the 20-minute review to agree a practical next step and draft the Action Brief. Confirm delivery timing together. Keep it whether or not you hire HOG.

This covers one workflow. Business-wide audits, software builds, and implementation are separate scopes.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP

Start with the work
you want to change.

Give us enough context to make the conversation useful. No customer names, records, credentials, or confidential documents are needed.

Your context comes first.

These preparation answers stay in this page until you choose to continue to the secure contact form. You can save a copy before requesting a review.

HOG is founder-led and in early development. We confirm what we can support before making a recommendation.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST

A few clear answers.

What if I do not buy anything?

The review is free, with no purchase required. You keep the Action Brief. If there is a sensible paid next step, we discuss that separately.

Do I need new software or perfect records?

No new software is required for the review. Bring one example you can describe. We will label missing evidence and agree what to record rather than inventing a diagnosis.

Is this a full audit or a guaranteed result?

It is a focused review of one workflow and a practical test to consider. It does not establish your business-wide bottleneck, promise a revenue increase, or include implementation.

What happens after I submit?

Your request goes to HOG through HubSpot. Lathen reviews the context and confirms scope and availability before scheduling. The form confirmation means the request was received, not that a meeting is booked or the business has been accepted.

How is this different from the free Operations Check?

The check helps you choose an area to explore on your own. This review goes deeper into a recent example with Lathen, so the next action and measure can be discussed in the context of your business.
