Position

Use data to understand where your business should compete.

Use the data your business already holds to sharpen your market position — where you fit, who you serve, and why customers choose you.

Citric Sheep connects customer, job, revenue, and cost data so you can see where margin comes from, which work fits your capacity, and where to focus next. The operating picture gives those decisions a reliable basis in your own business.

Where we start

Operating-Picture Audit

US$15,000 fixed · 2 weeks

Bring one weekly operating review. We trace its numbers and identify what the data can tell you about customers, jobs, and margins.

A source and metric map showing how fresh, complete, and reliable the current review is
A decision map for comparing customer, job, or segment profitability using the data available
Named spreadsheet retirement candidates, a scoped install proposal, and a written proceed/rescope/stop recommendation

The fee is fully credited toward the US$158,000 install if you proceed. The audit establishes which metrics and freshness targets the build can support.

Good fit

For businesses that can't yet see where their advantage sits.

This fits companies with multiple data sources, manual reporting pressure, and leadership teams that need a trusted view of what is happening before deciding where to compete.

Agriculture and food systems
Logistics, field operations, and delivery networks
Utilities, infrastructure, and asset-heavy services
Manufacturing, facilities management, environmental services, and construction

When it matters

Leadership needs a clearer view before deciding where to compete.

The first useful project usually starts where manual reporting, scattered systems, or delayed issue detection is already costing time or money.

Reporting is still assembled from spreadsheets, exports, and side conversations

Different teams disagree about the numbers because definitions and sources are inconsistent

You cannot reliably compare which customers, jobs, or segments contribute the most margin

Forecasting, monitoring, or exception reporting is too slow to support weekly decisions

What we build

An operating picture that shows where your advantage sits.

Trace customer and job performance back to agreed sources, compare the work that earns a return, and use that evidence to guide sales focus, service mix, and capacity decisions.

Customer, job, and segment profitability views based on agreed revenue and cost definitions
Source-of-truth rules for metrics, refresh cadence, thresholds, and owners
Automated reporting that replaces manual spreadsheet compilation
Forecasting, monitoring, alerts, and exception reporting for high-value operational issues
A decision review that connects margins, capacity, and customer demand to where you focus sales and delivery

Pick one operating rhythm

We choose one weekly review and the commercial decision it needs to support: which customers to grow, which jobs to pursue, or where capacity earns the best return.

Map the current reporting flow

We identify source systems, spreadsheet logic, manual edits, data ownership gaps, and where the current view breaks down.

Build the operating picture

We connect the priority sources and compare revenue, cost to serve, margin, and capacity by the customer, job, or segment dimensions agreed in the audit.

Improve and monitor

We support data quality, reporting packs, alerts, model or rule monitoring, and the improvement backlog after launch.

If you proceed

Prove the operating picture in your weekly review.

The Monday Picture install runs for 13 weeks after the audit, at US$158,000 including the credited audit fee. Support has a six-month initial term: US$10,500 per month for months one to three, then US$9,500 per month for months four to six, totalling US$60,000.

Acceptance and guarantees

Acceptance requires four successful weekly reviews within a six-review window, with agreed metrics no more than 24 hours old at 07:00 on review day. Each retired workbook is reconciled and signed off by its owner.
The final 15% is held until the proving cycles are complete. If the agreed rhythm is not proven, retainer months are free until it is, capped at three. A named workbook missed on its agreed retirement date earns US$1,500 in invoice reduction or cash refund, capped at US$12,000.
You provide source access, subject-matter input, and an executive chair; a named delegate can cover two of the six reviews. Delayed inputs pause the schedule after written notice. Scope, metrics, and review dates are agreed before the install starts.

Start with one review and one decision that matters.
