Who is the free operations audit for?
For leaders who want a clear, outside view of how their business runs.
- You know something is slowing the business down, but not exactly what.
- Work gets stuck between teams.
- Staff use AI with no plan or policy.
- You want to know whether outside help is worth it before committing.
When is the free audit not the right fit?
We would rather say so early. This is probably not the right fit if:
- You want a detailed system review. That happens in the Map Sprint, not the free audit.
- You are looking for a software product. VMS Ops is an operations consulting firm.
