Hey Product Hunt — Andrew from Ironback here.
Quick story on why we built this.
For the last year we've been running paid operational audits for service businesses. The pattern was uncomfortable: every single audit surfaced $150–400K in annual waste. Not 8 out of 10. Every one. Missed after-hours calls dialing the competitor, estimators spending a third of the week on manual takeoffs, $200K+ of open quotes with nobody following up, paper forms burning 20 hours a week in re-keying.
These aren't exotic problems. Owners knew the waste was there. They just hadn't had time to put a number on it — and without a number, the fix never gets prioritized over the thing that just broke on a truck.
So we stripped the audit down to its essentials — the 9 categories where the money actually hides — and turned it into something an owner can run in 5 minutes on a phone between jobs. Same diagnostic framework we use in a paid engagement. No gate.
The selfish reason: we're a dedicated AI operations partner (ironback.ai). People who run the Scorecard and see a $250K annual leak tend to have a different conversation with us than people who show up cold. That's fine. But the tool stands on its own — run it, get the number, do whatever you want with it. No email required to see your score.
Genuinely curious what PH operators find when they run their own businesses through it. If the categories don't map to your operation, tell us — we'll fix the tool. If we missed a category entirely, even better.
Happy to answer anything.
