Built from buy-side benchmarks across 40+ engagements. Pick your industry, fill in your specifics, tell us when you last looked under the hood. We'll show you what's recoverable — and the audit risk you're sitting on.
We'll tailor the questions and benchmarks to your category.
Estimates are fine. We'll refine on the call.
Across HR vendors, IT stack, and supply chain — the full picture, not just one function. The longer it's been, the more leakage compounds.
Without recent benchmarking across HR, IT, and supply chain, leakage compounds quietly. Multi-state operations elevate classification and audit exposure.
PEO, classification, workers' comp, benefits.
SaaS consolidation, ERP fit, license rationalization.
Packaging factory-direct, promo, freight, MOQ.
HR recovery assumes payroll runs ~30% of revenue (or per-employee average if higher). Levers: PEO admin benchmarking, multi-state classification corrections (scaling with state count), workers' comp mod adjustments, benefits benchmarking.
IT recovery assumes IT/SaaS spend at ~2.5% of revenue (Gartner mid-market). Recovery: license rationalization (15–30% typical), redundant tooling, integration debt.
Supply chain recovery assumes COGS is ~40% of revenue with indirect/packaging/promo/apparel at ~10% of COGS. Recovery: factory-direct sourcing, agency markup elimination, MOQ negotiation, freight benchmarking.
Vertical multipliers reflect category intensity. Hospitality: HR weighted higher (labor-heavy). Beverage & lifestyle: SC weighted higher (packaging/apparel intensive). Cannabis: HR + IT weighted higher (multi-state classification, license tracking). Hosting + co-pack questions adjust further.
Diagnostic recency is a recovery multiplier. Stack reviewed in the last 6 months: 0.85×. 1–2 years: 1.00×. 2+ years or never: 1.30× (compounding leakage assumption).
Compliance risk blends state count, vertical, and recency. Multi-state operators in regulated verticals (cannabis, hospitality) with stale diagnostics carry meaningful audit exposure: WC misclassification, sales tax nexus, license-tracking errors.
One discovery call. We tell you what's recoverable in your specific stack.
