Business efficiency consultancy, UK
Find where your operations clunk. Restore the flow.
Operational mapping, efficiency assessments, training and AI workshops for sole traders through to multinational teams, grounded in your own numbers.
Find the Clunk worth fixing first.
The Clunk Review pinpoints the practical operational friction (the Clunk) in your workflows, handovers, information flow and customer journeys. In six minutes you will see what deserves attention first: improving how you already work, making better use of the systems you have, or building something new only where it is genuinely justified.
What IS Clunk?
Clunk is the practical friction inside how work actually gets done: the awkward handovers, the steps that stall, the information that has to be chased, and the moments where a customer or colleague waits without knowing why. It is rarely one broken thing. It is the accumulated drag that slows good work down.
Clunk is a concept developed in a working paper, which sets out how to locate this friction, judge which piece is worth fixing first, and decide when to improve what you already have rather than build something new.
Start with the Clunk Review
The self-guided Clunk Review is free to complete. At the end you can choose a paid output:

Where operational friction shows up
These are common places where everyday work slows down. Not every one will apply to you: the review establishes which issues are present in your operation and which are worth addressing first.
Repeated data entry
The same details are typed into several systems, spreadsheets or forms by hand.
Incomplete enquiries or bookings
Requests arrive missing the information needed to act, so they stall or need chasing.
Slow quotations
Pricing a job means gathering figures from several places before anyone can reply.
Unclear stock
Nobody is quite sure what is on hand, on order or running low until it becomes urgent.
Missed follow-ups
Leads, callbacks and reminders depend on memory rather than a reliable prompt.
Handover failures
Work loses context when it passes between people, shifts or departments.
Reports that do not support decisions
Reports are produced regularly but do not answer the questions being asked.
Tools that staff work around
Systems exist, but people keep side spreadsheets or notes because the tool does not fit.
