What Clients Say

“The R&D Capital Audit revealed $4.2M in hidden infrastructure debt our CTO never mentioned. We renegotiated the deal price accordingly. This saved our firm more than the audit cost by a factor of 50x.”

“We thought we had a velocity problem. Turns out we had a 58% Innovation Tax problem. Richard quantified it in dollars and gave us a quarterly remediation plan. Feature velocity doubled in 6 months.”

“Finally, someone who speaks finance AND engineering. Our board was getting frustrated with CTO updates full of jargon. Now we get a one-page summary with dollar values and trend lines.”

“The Product Debt Index became our quarterly KPI. When our PDI score crossed 75, we triggered the remediation playbook. When it hit 40, we knew the investment was paying off. Simple, actionable, measurable.”

“We discovered our AI features were margin-negative. $0.47 per inference when our target was $0.08. Richard's AI COGS analysis saved us from a gross margin collapse before it hit our quarterly numbers.”

“The Audit Interview replaced our 6-hour interview loops. 15 minutes, AI-scored, zero bias. Our mis-hire rate dropped from 25% to under 8%. We saved $400K in year one from reduced turnover alone.”
