After the audit or the build — keep it moving

A business that runs without you in every loop.

I ran national service operations for twenty years; now I build Kingdom businesses that run without their founders. AI does the remembering — people keep the trust.

The real ceiling isn't marketing. It's that everything runs through you.

Approvals, follow-up, scheduling, the next hire — the business works because you're in the room, and it's costing you evenings, growth, and Sabbath.

A full-time operations leader costs six figures — oversized for a growing business. The answer isn't no leadership. It's seasoned operations direction on a retainer, with the systems built to hold it.

Who this is for

Christian-owned service businesses, entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants — roughly $150K–$400K — whose growth is capped by founder-dependency, and who want ongoing, high-integrity operations leadership: a steady hand, honest systems, and a written line around what stays human.

What's included

A monthly operating review with Roscoe — the numbers, the bottlenecks, the next moves

Questions, answered plainly

How is this different from the Audit?

The Audit is a one-time map — and it becomes Week 1 of this engagement. The Operations Partner is ongoing: the map gets built into your own Shepherd Action Space and then run, month after month.

Who does the building?

Spekkel, our build engine. The Operations Partner sets direction; Spekkel ships it — and every decision that deserves a human gets one, by design.

How are the tiers decided?

By scope — $1,500–$3,000/mo for most engagements. Larger organizations move into our Phase-2 tiers.

Does my audit fee credit in?

Yes — the $1,500 AI Workflow Audit credits toward your engagement.
