Profit Diagnostics + AI Operations

Find the money.
Fix the systems.
Scale with control.

IronLion360 identifies where profit, time, and leads are leaking — then cleans the data, connects the systems, automates the workflow, and gives leadership the intelligence to act faster.

The largest losses often sit between people, systems, contracts, and decisions.

Not because the team is failing. Because nobody owns the entire flow from data and process to cost control, automation, and executive visibility. Most operators lose over six figures a year in their business without ever knowing it.

01

Carrier contracts go unreviewed for years

Rate agreements from 2–3 years ago are never revisited. Market rates shift. Your invoices don't. That gap compounds silently, month after month.

02

Invoice errors fall below the radar

Duplicate payments and billing discrepancies under $5,000 are rarely caught. Multiply them across hundreds of invoices per month — the total is staggering.

03

Vendor pricing drifts unchecked

Vendors increase rates incrementally — small enough each time to avoid scrutiny, large enough across your supplier base to cost tens of thousands annually.

04

Disconnected systems multiply the loss

Your team runs operations. Your accountant handles compliance. Your software stores fragments of the truth. Nobody owns the gaps between them. IronLion360 does.

From operational chaos to executive intelligence.

Most founders do not need another AI tool. They need a cleaner operating system. IronLion360 finds the friction, rebuilds the workflow, automates what should not require human effort, and measures the financial result.

We do not automate broken processes.

We diagnose first, organize the data, define ownership and controls, then automate the highest-return work. That prevents faster errors, tool sprawl, and expensive systems nobody uses.

Stage 1

Diagnose the leaks

Map cost, time, data, lead, and decision bottlenecks.

Stage 2

Clean the data

Remove duplicates, establish standards, and create one reliable source.

Stage 3

Connect the systems

Eliminate re-entry and move information between the tools already in use.

Stage 4

Automate the workflow

Route tasks, approvals, follow-up, documents, and reporting automatically.

Stage 5

Control the business

Deliver live KPIs, alerts, forecasts, and decision-ready executive briefs.

01

AI Operations Audit & Process Redesign

When leadership cannot see where time, money, or leads are leaking, automation becomes guesswork.
Business outcome: prioritized automation roadmap, savings targets, ownership, controls, and implementation sequence.
02

Data & CRM Cleanup

Duplicate, incomplete, outdated, and disconnected records damage reporting, follow-up, and AI accuracy.
Business outcome: cleaner records, fewer errors, reliable reporting, and stronger sales execution.
03

Back-Office Workflow Automation

Employees lose capacity to repetitive entry, routing, scheduling, approvals, filing, and status updates.
Business outcome: fewer manual hours, faster processing, lower error rates, and greater staff capacity.
04

Executive Dashboard & Command Center

Owners should not have to chase multiple employees and spreadsheets to understand business performance.
Business outcome: live KPIs, exception alerts, forecasts, accountability, and faster decisions.
05

Revenue Operations Automation

Leads are lost when response, qualification, proposals, pipeline updates, and follow-up depend on memory.
Business outcome: faster response, consistent follow-up, stronger conversion, retention, and revenue recovery.
06

AI Knowledge & SOP System

Critical operating knowledge is trapped in employees' heads, inboxes, meetings, and scattered documents.
Business outcome: faster onboarding, consistent answers, repeatable execution, and less key-person dependence.
07

AI Finance & Cost-Control Automation

Delayed visibility into receivables, invoices, expenses, vendor spend, cash flow, and margin allows problems to compound.
Business outcome: faster collections, cleaner approvals, reduced waste, margin visibility, and earlier intervention.
08

Managed AI Operations

Automations deteriorate when processes, staff, software, and business rules change without ongoing ownership.
Business outcome: continuous monitoring, optimization, governance, reporting, and recurring savings.

One operating partner. One measurable transformation.

IronLion360 connects operational diagnosis, cost control, process engineering, automation, and executive reporting so founders gain time, capacity, visibility, and control — without adding unnecessary software.

Scope Your AI Operations Plan →

Diagnose first. Implement only what pays back.

Every engagement begins with evidence, not software. We identify the material opportunities, quantify the return, and define the safest implementation path before anything is automated.

1

Free scoping call

30 minutes. We ask about your operations and cost structure and give you an honest read on whether a diagnostic is likely to be worth it — before you spend a dollar.

2

Data you export, not data we pull

You send a focused, bounded set of records — carrier invoices, vendor contracts, payroll summaries — from your own systems. We never need direct access to yours.

3

Fixed-fee diagnostic

We apply a structured two-track method — profitability & variance analysis, plus control and transaction testing — to the records you provided. Price is agreed before we start; it doesn't change based on what we find.

4

Findings, ROI priorities, and next steps

You receive a decision-ready report with material findings, prioritized savings, workflow recommendations, and an optional implementation plan. You retain control over what moves forward.

Find the financial leaks before they become permanent overhead.

Our diagnostic work identifies material cost, contract, invoice, labor, and vendor opportunities. AI operations then addresses the process and system weaknesses that allowed those losses to persist.

Chris Luthy, COO of IronLion360

We're operators who got tired of watching businesses lose money to preventable operational disorder.

Chris Luthy · COO · Performance, Cost & AI Operations

IronLion360 was built on a simple belief: every business deserves to keep what it earns. Too many operators — good people running solid businesses — are losing tens of thousands every year to inefficiencies that nobody is paid to find.

We built an AI-powered operational intelligence model that diagnoses financial leakage, maps process failure, and turns the highest-value opportunities into cleaner data, connected systems, automated workflows, and better management control.

Every engagement runs through me personally. You're not handed off to a junior analyst. When we find something, I'm the one who calls you to talk it through.

— Chris

Independent — always

We're paid a fixed fee, not a percentage of what we find — so there's never an incentive to inflate what we report.

Honest before profitable

If we don't think a diagnostic is likely to be worth it, we'll tell you on the scoping call — before you spend a dollar. We'd rather lose a small engagement than damage a relationship.

Faith-driven values

We run a business the same way we think everyone should: with integrity, transparency, and genuine care for the people we serve.

Real numbers, anchored to real recoveries.

The Score isn't a generic calculator. It's tuned against actual IronLion360 engagements. Here's how typical scenarios land:

Scenario
Score Output
Calibration Anchor
$5.5M logistics, average risk
$92K – $141K
Anchored to our average client recovery
$12M trucking, contracts never renegotiated
$273K – $418K
Case study: $184K recovered (~50–65% of total leakage)
$5M transport, average operations
$82K – $126K
Case study: $67K recovered
$18M industrial services, average
$196K – $300K
Case study: $92K recovered
$1.5M small lean operator
$14K – $22K
Believable lower bound for tight operations
$14M manufacturing, no prior analysis
$302K – $464K
Aggressive but defensible — multiple risk factors
Why the Score is bigger than what gets recovered. The Score estimates total annual leakage — the full opportunity hidden in your operation. Actual recoveries typically run 50–65% of identified leakage, because not every dollar can be clawed back: some contracts are locked, some vendors won't budge, and some recoveries require trade-offs you may not want to make. The Score's job is to show you the size of the problem. The diagnostic call shows you what's realistically recoverable.

Find the leaks. Fix the flow. Build a business that runs with control.
