You funded the system.
Where's the visibility?

Most SMB founders reach a point 12–24 months after an ERP or CRM implementation where the system is technically live — but leadership still doesn't trust the numbers. The diagnostic identifies why and builds the roadmap to fix it.

Sound Familiar?

What founders tell us before the diagnostic.

You approved the ERP implementation 18 months ago — reporting is still manual

CRM pipeline numbers don't match what finance tells the board

Teams built workarounds instead of using the system you paid for

Vendors are pitching AI but nobody can answer whether the data is ready

Every new integration creates a new source of truth conflict

Month-end still requires someone to manually reconcile what happened

What Changes

What the engagement actually looks like.

Diagnose why the implementation didn't deliver the visibility you were promised

Map exactly where data breaks down between your ERP, CRM, and financial tools

Build a sequenced roadmap that prioritizes the fixes with the highest operational impact

Stay through execution — configuration, integration, and adoption

Assess AI and automation readiness — honestly, not as a sales pitch

Why This Is Different

Most ERP consultants configure modules. Most AI vendors pitch tools. Neither one understands your financial reporting needs or stays through execution. Blake works at the intersection of systems, finance, and practical AI — and stays through delivery.

Common questions from founders.

Do I need to replace my current ERP or CRM?

Usually not. Most founders assume they need a new system when the real problem is configuration, process design, or missing integrations. The diagnostic identifies whether you have the wrong system or the right system poorly configured — before any investment decision.

How is this different from the firm that implemented my system?

Implementation firms are incentivized to deploy and move on. This engagement starts with the question your implementer never answered: is the system actually serving the business? The diagnostic surfaces problems that go-live checklists don't cover.

What if I'm not sure what's broken — I just know it's not working?

That's exactly what the diagnostic is for. You don't need to arrive with a diagnosis. Most founders know something is off but can't pinpoint where the breakdown lives. The Systems Diagnostic maps it for you.

Start with clarity.

The Systems Diagnostic maps exactly where the gaps are — before any implementation begins. No retainer. No pitch. A practical starting point.
