A systems-architect practice for founder-led firms between $500K and $10M in revenue. We quantify where revenue is leaking and where it’s waiting — then design and install the custom systems that recover, compound, and create it.
Most consultants describe the problem.
We quantify it — then we build the solution.
Six points light up. Calls, leads, bookings, ops, billing, retention — each one runs in isolation. Every handoff is a person, a spreadsheet, or a missed signal.
Some constraints are not visible in the dashboard because the architecture to measure them does not exist. We design and install the operating systems that surface the next bottleneck before it costs the firm a quarter — workflow design, decision rights, measurement infrastructure, and the operator interface to read it.
Most of what we touch already exists. The intake works, the billing runs, the staffing model is in place — and the constraint is hiding inside one of them. We re-cut the system end-to-end, change the parts that produce the leak, and hand the rebuild back to the team that has to run it.
One week. We instrument the twelve points where revenue most commonly leaves your firm and price each loss against your own books. You receive a dollarized leak map and the install plan that closes it.
We sit inside your operation as a temporary partner, not a deck-writer. We change the system that produced the leak. Install ends with a working system, a documented runbook, and a measurable baseline.
Once the system is installed, we don’t disappear. The same operator who designed the install runs a monthly cadence with your team — KPI review, rolling improvements, the next constraint when it surfaces. Most engagements transition into a rolling retainer; some don’t. Either way the choice is yours, and the system is yours.
Forty-one percent of inbound calls during business hours were going to voicemail. Of those, fewer than one in four received a same-day callback. The firm was generating demand and then hiding from it. Installed centralized intake with a 7-minute response SLA; consult-to-retain rose from 18% to 34% in six weeks.
Full calendar on paper, soft week in practice. Web leads entered a marketing platform; bookings lived in the EHR. Thirty-six percent of qualified consults never became scheduled appointments. Installed unified lead-to-appointment handoff and a scripted 24-hour follow-up. Conversion moved from 41% to 58%.
Speed to lead averaged four hours and twelve minutes — eight times the threshold at which buyer inquiries convert. Buyers were being dropped from the pipeline by week three. Cut median response to under 8 minutes; extended disciplined nurture to 90 days. Reactivated buyers in 90 days went from 11 to 34.
We work with founder- and partner-led firms. Not PE platforms, not Series-anything. The diagnostic only resolves cleanly when the operator is in the room.
A Ryklin diagnostic takes one week. The first conversation takes twenty minutes.
