For managers and professional teams

See what is due, what is late and what keeps going wrong.

I help teams that handle cases, complaints or client work. I turn the spreadsheet and the pile of emails into one view you can act on: dashboards, deadline tracking, complaints reporting and small internal tools.

One person, start to finish · scoped around how your team already works

01

See what's happening

A dashboard of what is open, what is late and which numbers are moving.

02

Stay on top of the work

Who owns each item, when it is due, and what happens when it gets stuck.

03

Find and fix the cause

Look at what keeps happening, then fix the report, the process or the tool behind it.

What I set up

Complaints work and office systems, scoped to your team.

Each job is a written scope and a fixed price before I start. Complaints are what I know best, from handling financial complaints and escalations.

Office systems

No VAT is added. Larger or connected systems (several teams, a CRM or helpdesk) are quoted after a free scope call. Texting and app subscriptions are paid by you directly, and I tell you the figure first.

Visibility supports earlier action; it cannot guarantee that an SLA will never be missed.

Outcomes

  • Upheld: 52 (43%)
  • Partly upheld: 24 (20%)
  • Not upheld: 44 (37%)

What this tells you: No owner for follow-up is the biggest cause here (32 of 120, 27%). Average time to close is 15.5 working days against a 15-day target, and 49% ran over.

Root causes (what the records point to)

  • No owner for follow-up3256% upheld · 17.1 days
  • Handover between teams2171% upheld · 20.5 days
  • Training gap2167% upheld · 16 days
  • Unclear fee explanation1776% upheld · 11.2 days
  • Outdated letter template1457% upheld · 11.6 days

Change the filter: the figures, chart and root causes all recalculate from the 120 sample records.

Urgent cases leave the main path at triage and go to a manager the same day. The real chart uses your own step names, roles and timings.

Escalation decision tree

Fictional example for Northgate Advisory (fictional). The data is invented to show the format. It is not a client result.

    Is the customer vulnerable, or is there a risk of harm?

    This sample has four questions; yours are built from your own escalation points, thresholds and names.

    Keep it simple

    Start with the work. Use the simplest tool that helps.

    I can improve a spreadsheet or report you already have, make handoffs easier to follow, or build a small internal tool when your current software is not enough. I agree the scope and price with you before work starts.

    For sensitive workflows, we agree suitable access, permissions, review, escalation, data handling and retention terms before records are shared. I do not provide legal or regulatory advice.

    • You send anonymised extracts: names, contact details and account numbers removed or replaced with reference numbers before they reach me.
    • Files move through a private folder in your own Google Drive or OneDrive, shared only with me.
    • Retention and deletion timing for working copies are agreed in the written scope.
    • A written agreement on data handling is part of the scope sheet before any records are shared.

    This is a summary, not legal advice. Nothing here promises fewer complaints, savings or any other outcome.

    Work directly with me

    Bring me the report, deadline or process that keeps causing trouble.

    Describe the problem in a few lines. No records are needed to ask.
