Find what limits profit. Fix that.

Most AI, automation and ops projects do not increase profits. Untether Operations finds your constraint first, then determines the highest-return fix: people and process, systems you already own, automation, AI, or a small custom build.

Selected outcomes: a multi-day customer-success backlog to near zero with no added headcount; two-year post-acquisition process problems reworked in four months; requirements work 50% faster with 90% fewer errors; inside an MSP that grew from $3M to $8M, ramp cut 75% and early churn from 20% to 5%.

Where I tend to be useful

Operational diagnosis and process redesign; automation and AI; requirements and systems work; embedded operational leadership. Named specialties: owner-dependence remediation and white-label AI and automation services for MSPs.

Case studies

A rental-equipment platform wanted me to scale their customer success team efficiently; the constraint was upstream in quoting, and a guided quote wizard took the multi-day backlog to near zero with no added headcount. A post-acquisition transformation at a $100M+ IT company had stalled for two years; diagnosing and aligning the interdependent processes across seven business areas enabled more progress in four months than the previous team accomplished in two years. Internal AI tooling for requirements work at an enterprise automation consultancy cut completion time 50% with 90% fewer errors and was adopted firm-wide.

The Profit Constraint Stress Test

A free 2-minute diagnostic across the four gates every business has to pass: Demand, Delivery, Economics, and Cash Flow. First, select your prediction. Then, answer nine questions based on what's actually happening in your business. You'll immediately see where your answers point. The place where pain appears isn't always the best place to intervene. Core result is instant, personal review is optional, and there is no sales call.

The Approach

Time saved is only capacity. Anyone can save you time somewhere. But capacity only creates economic value when you can use it where the business is actually constrained. That is why the diagnosis comes first: find the constraints, verify the causes and economics, then implement the highest-return fixes, whether that is people and process with written rules and training, a system you already own used differently, deterministic automation, AI, a small custom build, or a mix. Sometimes it is leaving a process alone, because the cost of change surpasses the benefit.

How it lasts

Built to keep working after I leave: judgment becomes written standards and decision rules, proven on live work, with a process that captures its own exceptions and feeds them back in. Build tools used directly: Make, Zapier, Workato, Python, APIs, and LLM integrations. For heavier engineering Alexander writes the spec, runs the build with the client's developer, and owns the outcome.
