The expert council

A free written read on your business, built on the methods Inkstamp uses for businesses like yours.

Six questions, a few minutes. The council reads what you send and writes back. Yours to keep, even if we never talk.

The intake

The council gives you its best from what you share. With Inkstamp installed and the whole business in view, it can tell you exactly what to do.

Intake Step 1 / 2
Who reads it

Every seat at the table, finally filled.

Four seats read your answers: CFO, COO, CMO, and the CEO, who makes the final call. It's the same council you'd have inside Inkstamp, working from the context you provide, without access to your whole business.

Saturday demand outruns capacity:COO weekend margin 31% vs 44% weekday, with $780 of overtime covering the gap each month.

└ COO: Saturdays max out the equipment, and the overtime is the cost of pushing past it. The new equipment removes the limit. The renovation doesn't touch it.

Two repeat customers quietCMO (47 and 61 days, $1,850 a quarter), and walk-ins off 9% since March.

└ CMO: walk-ins are down and the room is the visible fix. If it isn't now, commit to spring.

Operating account $31,204.55 · payroll $28,900 due the 15thCFO · cash floor $15,000.

Equipment finances at $1,240/mo over 36CFO · renovation is $28,000 cash · payback odds under 18 months: 71 v 55 in 100.

└ CFO: $28k cash punches through the floor with payroll three days out. Financed, the equipment never touches it. 71 beats 55.
Finance the equipment now; Saturday is costing us every week. The renovation waits for spring cash. · CEO
