Why Your Spreadsheets Are Lying To You.

In a startup, "accurate enough" is the enemy of "operational scale."

When you were doing $1M in revenue, a 5% error in your inventory count or a slight delay in your COGS reporting was a nuisance. At $20M, that same 5% error is a million-dollar hole in your balance sheet. Most founders make decisions based on spreadsheets that are fundamentally broken—not because of math errors, but because of Architectural Decay.

The Symptoms of Data Decay

How do you know if your "Source of Truth" is actually a "Source of Friction"? Look for these three red flags in your weekly meetings:

The RidgePoint Data Audit

We don't just look at your charts. We audit the Plumbing. Our integrity audit focuses on three critical layers of the technical stack:

I. The Capture Layer

Where does the data enter the system? Is it a manual entry by a warehouse worker, or an automated scan? We identify the "Human-in-the-Loop" bottlenecks where errors are most likely to be born.

II. The Transformation Layer

How does raw data become a metric? We audit your "Logic Bridges"—the integrations between your Shopify, your CRM, and your ERP. If the logic is inconsistent, the output is dangerous.

III. The Visualization Layer

Are your dashboards showing you "Vanity Metrics" or "Actionable Signals"? We help founders move from monitoring their business to managing it by building high-integrity reporting suites.
