The premise
Most small businesses don't fail because the product is wrong.
They fail because operations can't keep up. Manual workflows. Broken handoffs. Decisions made without data. Tools that don't talk to each other.
Fortune 500s solve this with seven-figure operations teams. Mid-market firms hire $200K consultants. Arizona's owner-operators get neither — and get told to figure it out with another cloud tool.
Elaren closes the gap. Enterprise-grade operating discipline, translated, sized, and priced for a business doing under $4M.
How we work
Three steps. One operator. Built for businesses under $4M.
01 · Diagnose
We find what's leaking.
Two weeks. Fixed price. We sit with your team, pull your data, shadow your workflows, and write a report with the top three to five things costing you money. If we don't find at least 3× the fee in annualized opportunity, you don't pay.

We close the highest-ROI leak.
Four to eight weeks. Fixed scope, fixed price, 30-day kill-switch. The highest-ROI fix from your Diagnostic — a workflow, an AI-enabled tool, a dashboard, a process redesign. You get a working system in production, documentation, SOPs, and a trained team.

Built by an operator, for operators.
I hold an MBA and spend my working hours running business development for a specialized aviation company, consulting on operations for a Phoenix Metro healthcare clinic, and building Elaren — a practice designed for owner-operated Arizona businesses under $4M. The same pattern kept showing up: owners doing $1M to $4M weren't failing because the product was wrong. They were failing because the back office couldn't keep up — and no one was building for them.
The MBA Playbook for Small Business is the long version of why. Available on Amazon — Kindle.
