LEVEL 1 – OPERATIONS CLARITY AUDIT

Octave CRM Data Audit

Blind spots cost more than the audit.

You check reports by hand before you trust them.

Work depends on you, or on one person who knows where everything is.

Your team works from different versions of the same numbers.

You bought tools, but nobody mapped how work should move through them.

If you recognize two of these, the audit will show you what’s causing them and what to do first.

What we check

Five areas, each answered with specific evidence from your business.

People

Who owns which data, and who could step away without leaving a gap?

Processes

Where do handoffs break, and what gets done twice?

Platform

Which systems do you use, and which ones are actually doing their job?

Change readiness

Will your team adopt changes, and what would slow them down?

Next steps

What to fix first, what can wait, and what to leave alone.

What you get for $10,000

  • Discovery call (60 minutes). A conversation about how your business runs day to day, your goals, and where things feel stuck.
  • Full operations review & interviews. People, processes, platform, and change readiness, with the systems you already use included.
  • Roadmap report. A prioritized list of what to fix, what to wait on, and what to leave alone, delivered within 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Walkthrough (60 minutes). We go through the findings together so you know what they mean.

After the audit: your choice

Option A: Do it yourself

Use the roadmap to make the changes with your own team. The audit is yours to keep.

Option B: Build it with us

Move into Level 2, people, process, and platform work, usually over 3 to 6 months.

Why music companies work with us

Most operations consultants start with the tool. We start with how your business actually runs, because the tool only works when the work does.

I’m a musician with more than 30 years in the business, and I coach independent artists. I’m also HubSpot certified and have been since 2013. I know how labels, managers, publishers, and licensors work, so you won’t need a tutorial.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the audit take?
Usually 6 to 8 weeks after the discovery call, plus a 60-minute walkthrough of the findings.

Do we need a CRM to do this?
No. The audit covers the systems and habits you have, whether that’s spreadsheets, a CRM, or both.

Do we have to hire Octave afterward?
No. The audit is yours to use on your own.

What access do you need?
Temporary, read-only access to the systems and documentation you use, which we review together on the discovery call. We will also want to identify key members of your team at all levels to conduct confidential interviews to help us inform our audit report.
