Find Your Drift. Protect Your Margins.
Work stalls. Questions loop. The same fires keep reigniting. This 4-minute diagnostic shows you exactly where — so you can stop guessing and start fixing.
What It Measures
Five operational pressure points where drift shows up first. Not theory. Not tools. Actual work behavior.
Does work move forward—or sit “waiting on one more thing”?
Are decisions clear and durable—or constantly revisited under pressure?
Do handoffs carry context—or does work boomerang back for “missing info”?
Is your “how we do it” captured—or trapped in people’s heads?
Is the business running on you—or can it run without constant escalation?
Who It’s For
If you’re running 8–25 people and roughly $500K–$3MM, you’re big enough for drift to hurt—and small enough to feel every dollar.
Digital Agencies

Trade Contractors
- Callbacks, scheduling chaos, repeat questions
- Field vs office disconnect
- Owner becomes dispatcher + firefighter
Light Manufacturing
- Work-in-process piles up
- Hand-off misses create scrap and delays
- “Tribal knowledge” runs the line
What You Get

- Drift score with a plain-English translation (stable / drifting / compromised)
- Category breakdown across Flow, Decisions, Handoffs, Knowledge, Owner Load
- Priority fixes — what to tighten first so work moves again
Run it once. Use it as a baseline. Re-run quarterly. Track drift before it gets expensive.
