Before you rebuild anything, find the real problem.

The most expensive mistake in B2B commerce isn't building the wrong feature — it's building the right solution to the wrong problem. The Commerce Operating Audit is a structured, operator-led read of your entire commerce operation: where you actually stand, what's quietly costing you, and what to do in what order.

Duration: 4–6 weeks · Scope: Fixed · Delivered by: One operator · Ownership: Findings you own.

Who it's for

  • Your numbers are telling a story you can't quite read — traffic's fine, revenue isn't.
  • You're about to spend serious money on a replatform or PIM and want a second, unbiased read first.
  • Vendors keep pitching solutions, but no one's named the actual problem.
  • AI search is starting to matter and you don't know whether you're visible or invisible.
  • You've inherited a stack you didn't build and need to know what's worth keeping.

What it examines — six dimensions

  1. Vision & strategy — What you're actually trying to win, and whether the operation is built for it.
  2. The numbers — The metrics that matter — and the vanity ones hiding the truth.
  3. The stack — Platform, integrations, and where the architecture is fighting you.
  4. The data — Product information health: accuracy, governance, completeness, AI-readiness.
  5. The organization — Adoption, ownership, and the change-management gaps where most initiatives quietly die.
  6. The constraints — Budget, timeline, team, and political reality, so the roadmap is one you can actually execute.

How it works — four steps, four to six weeks

  1. Discovery — Two weeks of structured interviews, data review, and stack walk-through.
  2. Analysis — Operator-led synthesis. No template decks — we name what's actually happening.
  3. Findings — A working session to pressure-test conclusions before they go to your board.
  4. Roadmap — Prioritized sequence with owner, dependency, and the cost of doing nothing.

Let's talk

No pitch deck. Just a conversation. Book a conversation. When it's time to build, I deliver through Human After All.
