This is a 3–6 month program where we identify where your business is losing money and install a system to fix it.
Most companies make back more than the cost of the program.
The Five Stacks Framework makes your operations visible, fixable, and stronger over time. You reduce costs, recover margin, and build resilience — while sustainability becomes a byproduct of running a better business.
You’re not dealing with a sustainability problem. You’re dealing with an operations problem you can’t see clearly yet.
You build capability in sequence. Each stack funds the next. By the time you reach the end, sustainability isn’t a line item — it’s just what a well-run business looks like.
Measure what’s actually happening so you stop guessing.
Fix leaks in energy, materials, and process performance.
Recover value from waste, loss, and poor flow.
Reduce fragility so one shock doesn’t break the business.
Build systems that improve as they operate.
The offer isn’t hours of consulting. It’s how much uncertainty, misdiagnosis, and wasted effort you remove from your operations.
Same framework at every level. The variable is how much uncertainty you want to remove.
The full implementation of the Five Stacks Framework inside your business.
You gather the data. Using the Five Stacks Framework, we analyze where the business is leaking and build a system stack by stack that holds up in reality.
Most businesses discover more in recoverable margin than the cost of this program.
For businesses that want direction before running it themselves.
You do the pre-work. Together, we work through the data and decide what matters, what to fix first, and what to ignore for now.
For disciplined teams that truly want to run it themselves.
The book, baseline platform, and stack-by-stack templates — everything your team needs to run internal workshops independently.
Seven sessions. One kick-off, five stacks, one wrap-up. Each builds on the last.
Review the questionnaire, align on goals, identify the biggest pressure points, and set the agenda for the five stacks.
Output: shared understanding + engagement roadmapMap your operational data — energy, materials, water, labor, costs. Establish a single source of truth you can defend.
Output: operational baseline + cost-per-unit modelAnalyze where money is leaving the business. Energy waste, process inefficiency, supplier overcharges, hidden cost drivers.
Output: prioritized efficiency plan with projected savingsTurn waste streams into value. Identify what you’re discarding that someone else would pay for or that you could reuse.
Output: margin recovery opportunities quantifiedIdentify supply chain dependencies, concentration risks, and single points of failure before they break.
Output: supply chain risk map + resilience prioritiesConnect the stacks into a feedback loop your team can maintain. The system improves as it operates.
Output: 6–12 month roadmap + internal operating systemReview everything built, confirm the roadmap, hand over ownership. Your team has a system they can run and improve on their own.
Output: final deliverables package + internal handoverReporting without operational control. You get a document. Nothing changes on the floor.
Recommendations without implementation. Smart slides, no follow-through, no system left behind.
Good intentions without a framework. Scattered projects, no sequence, no compounding.
System + sequence + implementation. A structured method that builds capability your team keeps — not a dependency on external consultants.
Same framework. Different depth of support and decision transfer.
| Foundation | Alignment | Full Build | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What are you buying? | System | System + direction | System + direction + judgment |
| Who interprets the data? | Your team | Your team, with guidance | Your team gathers, framework interprets |
| Best for | Capable internal teams | Teams that want a fast plan | Teams that want it done properly |
| Main risk | Slow follow-through | Good plan, weak implementation | Higher upfront spend |
| Main advantage | Low-cost entry | Fast clarity | Best chance of real operational change |
A proven framework — not a generic template. Built from real operations, not theory.
You know something needs to change. This tells you what, in what order, and why that order matters.
Pattern recognition from working across sectors and supply chains. The difference between a plan and the right plan.
No. It’s operations work. Sustainability data and environmental proof come out of the system because the business becomes more legible and efficient.
Because it’s the complete version. It’s the offer for teams who don’t want to guess, wander, or stall out after a nice workshop.
Yes. Foundation and Alignment are real offers. But they are lower-support paths, not equivalent paths dressed up nicely.
For Foundation: nothing, it’s self-guided. For Alignment and above: you’ll receive a questionnaire and homework. You bring your real numbers. We work with real data, not estimates.
SMEs with 10–250 employees. Manufacturing, logistics, food production, services — any business where operational costs are a significant part of the picture.
Yes. Your investment in a lower tier is credited toward the next one.
