Illustrative example. The tool scores what the data shows, the rest stays "to be measured".
Now on your own audit material?Book 15 min →The problem
Three things keep a boutique commercial transformation firm capped, and none is solved by a better questionnaire.
“My partners can't run an engagement without me.”
Everything routes back through the founder, so capacity is capped. DFBL Audit produces the diagnostic and the deliverables, so the team runs engagements without everything going through you.
“A maturity score doesn't move the engagement forward.”
Assessment tools stop at a number. What signs an engagement is a gap analysis, a costed ROI and a board-ready memo. DFBL Audit produces all three from the same inputs.
“I won't put forward a figure I can't back.”
Reports built by hand carry numbers you can't defend. DFBL Audit recalculates the quantitative data and attributes evidence. What is unknown stays to be measured.
The method
Nine dimensions, each scored 1 to 5, so the gap shows up wherever it hides: portfolio, pipeline, margins, organisation, voice of customer. You get the business gap and the maturity gap, side by side.
What you walk away with
Each output does a job the maturity score can't: it tells the client what to do, in figures they can defend. Built from your data, recalculated, never invented.
The business gap (target vs actual on revenue, margin, accounts) and the maturity gap, side by side. Figures you can put in front of a board and defend, not a vague score.
Clients, offers and margins ranked by priority. The hard calls are laid out as decisions the client owns, never made for them.
An operational plan with payback attached, then a living follow-up that keeps score on actions and KPIs after you've gone.
A deck built from the real data, plus win/loss and battlecards. Board-ready, not a report dump.
How it works
Set director objectives and the business gap. Baselines stay “to be measured” until the data is in.
Documents, interviews scored 1 to 5, and quantitative files. Concentration and margin per client type are recalculated.
Maturity 1 to 5 per dimension, with evidence attribution and contradiction detection.
Report, deck, action plan with ROI, win/loss, battlecards. You and the client decide what ships.
FAQ
Assessment builders stop at a score, and AI audit tools are not built for commercial transformation. DFBL Audit carries a full 9-dimension commercial method, recalculates the quantitative data, and generates the board deliverables that follow the score.
No. Every figure rests on the data you provide. What is unknown stays “to be measured”. The deliverables attribute evidence and flag contradictions, so a figure you put forward is one you can defend.
No. The posture is an obligation of means, not results. The tool proposes and structures; you and the client decide. Arbitrations are framed as decision points.
Yes. Roles and interview questions are persisted per mission, so a fractional CCO/CSO or a boutique firm can deploy the same method across several clients instead of rebuilding the diagnostic by hand.
One real engagement to date: Roval (Anjac group), a cosmetics CDMO, on a four-month commercial structuring mission. We make no other client claims, no invented metrics, no testimonials.
