Sage Audit
A focused set of eyes on your stack — in one week.
A focused 5-day strategic audit. We dig into your product, site, infrastructure, or workflow and deliver a prioritized recommendations doc, a Loom walkthrough, and a 60-minute review call. Best for teams who suspect they’re leaving money or velocity on the table.

Sage Audit — five days of focused eyes
A 5-day strategic audit of your stack, site, or workflow with a prioritized recommendations doc.
How we run this
Phase-by-phase breakdown of the engagement. Every milestone produces a concrete artifact you can see, share, or hand off.
Kickoff & access
Mutual NDA, 30-minute kickoff call to align on the question we’re answering, read-only access to the systems under review.
Deep dive
We tear down architecture, observability, billing flow, SEO surface, security posture, and developer experience. Every page is read; every dashboard checked.
Synthesis
We rank findings by impact / effort, build the recommendation list, and record the Loom walkthrough.
Review call
60-minute live review with you and your team. We answer questions, sequence the work, and (if it makes sense) scope the follow-on.

- Loom walkthrough video (typically 25–35 minutes)

Frequently asked
What systems can you audit?
Web apps, marketing sites, AI workflows, infrastructure, billing flows, SEO surface area, and developer experience. Stack-flexible — most engagements involve Next.js, Python, AWS, Stripe, or some combination.
Can the cost be applied to a larger engagement?
Yes. If you move forward with Ship, Automate, Build, SEO Sprint, Content Engine, or Brand Sprint within 30 days, the full $750 is credited toward that engagement.
How much access do you need?
Read-only access to the systems we’re auditing — analytics, repo, hosting dashboard, error tracker. We sign a mutual NDA before kickoff.
How is the recommendation list prioritized?
Each item gets an Impact score (1–5), an Effort estimate (hours/days/weeks), and a Confidence level. We sort by Impact / Effort and flag the top 10 explicitly.
