Why the numbers above are not theoretical

Three things separate a ROI claim that holds up in a board meeting from a slide-deck guess.

Ranked by 90-day ROI

Every opportunity surfaced in the audit is scored on expected return, implementation effort, and time-to-value. The roadmap is sorted top-down so your team always knows what to ship next week.

Measured on your own data

We do not estimate against industry benchmarks. We pull from your CRM, ESP, ad accounts, helpdesk and project tooling so the £ figures in the audit are calibrated to your real revenue, cost base, and team capacity.

Conservative, defensible numbers

The figures above are mid-range. We deliberately publish the cautious end so a finance director can defend the case to a board without needing to caveat optimistic projections.
