Where is your business losing money?
Most service businesses lose money and time to operational friction they've stopped noticing — slow quoting, missed follow-up, things slipping between people or steps, owner bottlenecks. Caliet Advisory finds the leaks, names what they're costing, and designs the system to fix the one that matters most.
You pick the leak. We design the solution.
If any of these land, you have leaks.
- You're winning or booking fewer jobs and can't pinpoint where they're slipping.
- Quotes go out late or inconsistently and you suspect you're leaving money on the table.
- You're the bottleneck for estimating, hiring, or operations — and there's no time to figure out how to fix it.
- You keep hearing about AI and automation and know some of it would help — but you don't have time to figure out what's real and what's noise.
- You've got good people who care, and work is still slipping through.
The good news: leaks are usually fixable, and they almost always cost less to fix than to leave alone.
Service businesses that have outgrown founder-run workflows.
Owners who built the business on instinct and have hit the limit of what instinct alone can scale. The work is most useful for operationally complex service businesses — typically in the $1M to $10M range, though the fit matters more than the size.

The opportunity: small operational fixes compound. Most service businesses are losing 5 to 15% of what they could be making — not to competitors, but to friction they've stopped noticing.
