If you had a leak in your revenue stream costing $200K a year, you’d fix it in a week.
So why let it keep dripping from your people systems?
(Why founders book my HR Fire Drill — and why it pays for itself fast)
Every founder I meet is laser-focused on ROI, except when it comes to people. Suddenly, it’s “soft skills” and “culture stuff” that gets shoved to the back burner.
Here’s the truth: when your people systems work, ROI shows up in cold, hard numbers.
The HR Fire Drill: Fast, Focused, Founder-Friendly
$5,000 flat fee. 5 business days.
This is my high-impact audit for founder-led companies who suspect something’s broken, but don’t have months to figure it out.
In 5 business days::
• Compliance gaps identified → Know exactly where you’re exposed before it costs you.
• Role clarity assessed → Stop overwork, overlap, and talent drain.
• Manager readiness check → Prevent avoidable turnover.
• Hiring risk review → Avoid $100K+ mistakes before they happen.
How the ROI is Calculated
These aren’t “HR feel-good” numbers, they’re conservative, industry-standard estimates for a 40-person startup with an average fully loaded salary of $75K. Conservative, right?
1. Turnover Reduction $200K+ Saved (Conservative)
If you lose 8 people/year (20% turnover), it costs about 1.5× salary per person once you factor hiring, onboarding, and lost productivity. Cut that turnover by just 20%? That’s ~$200K saved.
2. Compliance Fine Avoidance $50K Saved (Conservative)
One wage-and-hour or workplace violation can run $25K–$50K once penalties, back pay, and legal fees are included. Identifying and addressing these risks early can easily save $50K or more.
3. Bad Hire Prevention $100K+ Saved (Conservative)
The cost of a bad hire (salary × 1.5 + opportunity loss) is ~$112K for a $75K role, higher for leadership positions. Catching the mismatch before they’re in the seat saves that instantly.
Why This Hits Hard at the 40-Person Mark
• Big enough for compliance risk to be real.
• Small enough that losing even one key hire hurts.
• No time for a founder or lean exec team to dig into the root causes.
Why Founders Book the Fire Drill
Because HR fires don’t smolder politely. They explode in lost productivity, fines, and founder headspace you can’t buy back.
Every week you delay fixing what’s broken, the meter’s running. ROI isn’t about the cost of my work — it’s about the cost of not doing it.
