What a real systems audit should give you (and why 40-slide decks fail)

A good audit produces three things on two pages: a map, a risk list, and a sequenced build plan.

By Oyerinde Alfred · AI Solutions Consultant & RevOps Manager

An audit that ends in a forty-slide deck has failed. You need three things on two pages.

1. The map

How work actually flows today: every system, every manual handoff, every export that someone maintains by hand. Drawn from observation, not from the org chart.

2. The risk list

Where the business is one resignation away from a problem. Single points of failure, undocumented credentials, data that exists in exactly one place with no backup.

3. The sequence

Which fix to do first, and why. Most teams try to do everything at once and finish nothing. Sequence is the deliverable.

What you should be able to do afterwards

Hand the document to a competent developer and have them act on it without a call with me. That is the standard.

Have a system to build?

Book a call or send a two-line brief.

New notes, no noise

I publish when there is something worth reading. Usually twice a month.
