Not is this broken. Where specifically is this leaking.

The tool that maps a working process as it actually runs, times each step, and finds the specific handoff or rework loop quietly costing the most time, money, or quality.

IncludedNative Claude Skill + plain .md for ChatGPT, Gemini & every LLM

A process that's obviously broken gets fixed quickly. A process that mostly works is more dangerous, because the inefficiency is diffuse enough that everyone's quietly adapted to the friction as normal.

This tool maps the process as it's actually run, including the workarounds nobody's written down, times each step, and traces any rework loop to its actual root cause instead of just flagging the symptom.

A demonstration

The leak, found and quantified.

Same process, same complaint, run two ways.

The situation

A 25-person agency's monthly client reporting process is taking noticeably longer each month even though the underlying work hasn't obviously grown.

Asked cold

You ask Claude how to make the process more efficient. You get sensible general suggestions: automate the data pulls, use a template, reduce back-and-forth.

All reasonable, and none of it tells you the back-and-forth is actually costing as much time as the entire deck build, or why it's happening in the first place.

Run through the Tool

It maps the process as it actually runs and times each step:

  • Four handoffs found for a single monthly deliverable, most with uncounted wait time
  • The discrepancy back-and-forth traced to a labeling problem in the spreadsheet, not a data-quality issue
  • Roughly 25-35 hours a month quantified as the single largest addressable leak

The recommendation fixes the actual root cause, standardizing the spreadsheet's labeling, rather than adding another review step to catch a problem that a labeling fix would prevent from happening at all.

The cold version suggested automating things. This found the specific leak and traced it to its actual cause.

Who it's for
  • Operators with a process that works but feels inefficient in a way nobody's pinned down
  • Teams whose processes have grown by accretion as they scaled
  • Anyone about to propose a fix without having actually diagnosed the leak first

Questions

Before you buy.

How is this different from just asking Claude directly?

Asked cold, Claude suggests generic efficiency improvements, automate this, template that, without measuring anything specific. This maps the process as it actually runs, times each step, finds the handoffs and rework loops, and traces the biggest one to its actual root cause with a rough number attached.

Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?

Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.

Can I share this with my team?

It's licensed for your own personal and professional use. The output it produces is yours to circulate. To put the Tool itself in the hands of a whole team, email hello@authority.md about team licensing.

What if it doesn't work for me?

If the file hasn't been delivered, or arrives defective or empty, we refund in full — see our refund policy.

Process Audit is a diagnostic tool. It identifies where a process is leaking; implementing a fix, especially one involving new tools or automation, should be scoped and tested separately.
