The Process: How We Work Together
Step 1
We start by cutting through noise — auditing your operations, supply chain, and leadership alignment to pinpoint the 20% of activities that drive 80% of results. Using our Diagnose-Design-Deliver Framework, we map KPIs, OKRs, and process bottlenecks into a clear baseline for measurable improvement. The goal: data-driven visibility, not vanity metrics — a source-of-truth foundation for smarter decisions.
Step 2
Next, we design your 90-Day Operating System — a roadmap that links strategy to execution through practical playbooks, dashboards, and ownership clarity. From priority cascades to decision-making rhythms, we build a one-page plan per focus area, ensuring alignment across leadership, finance, and operations. Every tactic is pressure-tested for ROI, risk, and readiness — not theory, just executable clarity.
Step 3
This is where the work gets done. Acting as your Fractional COO, we embed operator discipline into your daily cadence — refining workflows, vendor reliability, and quality control systems. From DFM to Delivered, we deploy factory audits (ISO 9001), pilot-to-production validation, and AQL sampling plans that lower cost without sacrificing quality. You get measurable momentum, not management theater.
Step 4
Once the system works, we scale it — through resilient growth and risk management frameworks that strengthen margins and reduce dependency. Think multi-sourcing strategies, continuity planning, and lead-time dashboards that keep performance steady as you grow. We help you build policy-aware, compliant operations that last — creating a cycle of clarity, discipline, and durable results.
Real Results, Measurable Growth
Increased Flagship Product Profitability by 4% in 90 Days Amid Tariff Pressures.
A strategy-to-execution playbook lifted profit under tariffs: model landed cost to isolate yield loss, use Defect Pareto/COPQ to target constraints, swap Water-Transfer for Heat-Transfer Printing, and lock settings via DOE. We aligned Standards & Compliance (ISO 9001/13485), refreshed FMEA, added AQL Level II IPQC, standardized fixturing, and ran data-driven operations & dashboards—cutting cosmetic fallout ~83% and proving operator-led consulting drives resilient growth without price changes.
This position paper turns goals into a policy-aware, strategy-to-execution roadmap: enable dispensary take-back and EPR, revise “render-unusable” and on-site destruction rules to allow shipment to licensed processors, permit transfer/sale of cannabis waste to build end-markets, and use targeted rebates/tax credits to close the materials cost gap. Aligned Standards & Compliance (ISO/CEN/ASTM) with data-driven operations & dashboards to manage risk, ensure resilient growth, and execute circularity at scale.
Regulation that unlocks recycling: Sustainability Starts with Smart Statutes

Arnaud Dumas de Rauly
Arnaud Dumas de Rauly
Arnaud Dumas de Rauly bridges what most teams separate: strategy and execution. Born from operator-earned lessons, he prioritizes clarity over complexity, resilience before scale, and small, deliberate changes that compound into measurable outcomes. Growth is redefined as systems that help leaders sleep better. The model starts with redundancy and rigor, then moves fast without breaking things. Culture and transparency are treated as the backbone of sustainable performance, especially through leadership transitions. A signature case proves the approach: redesigning a finishing process cut raw material defects from 30% to under 5%, lifted margins, and improved sustainability—showing process design beats supplier squeezing. For SMBs, this means 3–5 levers and one shipped quick win in 90 days. For policy leaders, it means translating standards into enforceable, training-ready guidance.
