You built a business that works.
But it only works because you never stop.

You are the system. Every decision, every problem, every fire runs through you. Remove yourself for a week and things break.

Revenue is growing. Profit isn't. More clients, more work, more overhead. But the margin stays flat or shrinks.

You've hired people. Nothing changed. New heads, same chaos. Nobody owns outcomes. You're still the bottleneck.

You can't see what's broken. You know something is off. You don't know if it's sales, ops, people, or finance. Or all four.

Consultants advise.
We install.

Most consulting firms hand you a binder and disappear. We open the hood, find what's broken, fix it, and don't leave until the engine runs without you.

Traditional consultants

Deliver a strategy deck and walk away

Charge by the hour to advise

Use your team to execute their plan

Generalized frameworks, no custom diagnosis

Gone before you know if it actually worked

VS
OpFix

Diagnose your operations with a proprietary framework

Install the systems that fix what's broken

Build alongside you for 6 months - not a handoff

Custom scope based on your diagnostic score

We stay until the systems run without you

Every broken business fails
in the same four places.

Our proprietary framework diagnoses exactly where you're bleeding across operations, revenue, financial, and team, so we fix what matters first.

Operations & Systems

Workflows, SOPs, delivery systems, tech stack, automation, and process documentation.

Pillar 1 of 4

Revenue & Sales

Sales process, offer architecture, pricing, lead generation, conversion, and retention systems.

Pillar 2 of 4

Financial Structure

Cash flow, margin analysis, expense structure, profit allocation, and growth financing.

Pillar 3 of 4

Team & Leadership

Org chart, roles, metrics, hiring systems, accountability structure, and team performance.

Pillar 4 of 4

Day 1 vs. Day 180

Four Pillars diagnostic scores across a 6-month engagement. Lower score = healthier business. Most founders walk in bleeding across all four.

6 months. Three phases.
A business that runs without you.

We don't sell advice. We sell a 6-month system installation. Here's exactly what happens.

Diagnose

Days 1 – 21

You've felt it for a while. The business is bleeding money somewhere and you can't pinpoint where. By Day 21, you'll know. The exact dollar figure. The exact pillars failing. The exact systems missing. No guessing, no hunches - a scored breakdown of what's broken, why it's broken, and what it's costing you every month it stays that way.

Fix

Days 22 – 105

The bleed gets sealed. The systems that should've existed years ago get built and installed - revenue, operations, team, finance, tech. You sign off on the plan before anything gets touched. Then you watch your business turn into something that doesn't need you to function. Every system live. Every process documented. Every fix proven before the next phase starts.

Scale

Days 106 – 180

Now we make it real. You step away from the business. We run three live stress tests at Days 130, 155, and 173 - real operating conditions, no founder in the room. Every failure surfaces. Every failure gets fixed inside the system we built. By Day 180 you have what you came for: a business that runs without you, and the proof to back it up.

Your plan is on its way, friend.

Check your email and texts in the next 2 minutes. The page that matters most is the cost math. Don't skip it. That's the part that tells you what your founder dependency is actually costing you.

Not a consultant's opinion.
A unified operating system.

OpFix was built from the ground up around one idea: consultants diagnose, but systems fix. Every engagement runs on a single decision-making engine. 9 operating layers covering every part of how a business actually runs.

01
Offer, Positioning & Lead Generation
How you package, price, and present what you sell. And how the market finds you before they need you.
02
Sales & Client Lifecycle
First contact. Signed contract. Retained client. Referral. The whole arc. Most businesses only engineer the first half.
03
Operations & Finance
The systems and financial infrastructure that decide whether a business is a job or an asset. This is where exits get built.
04
Human Influence & Persuasion
How you build trust, navigate hard conversations, and create cooperation without manipulation. The psychology under every business interaction.
⬡ 9 operating layers. One operating system. Every engagement.
