The FI Audit | Green Edge AI
The Follow-Up Intelligence Audit

The leads are coming in. The money isn't following.

Your marketing is generating interest. People are calling, filling out forms, requesting quotes. But somewhere between that first moment of contact and the signed contract, something breaks. Quietly. Repeatedly. Expensively.

The FI Audit is a three-session diagnostic that maps every path a lead takes through your business, identifies the exact points where momentum decays, and calculates what that decay is costing you in real dollars.

The Invisible Cost

You can measure what you spend to get a lead. Can you measure what you lose after one arrives?

You know your ad spend. You know your cost per lead. You might even know your close rate. But the space between those numbers is where the money disappears, and almost no one is tracking it.

We call it the Momentum Tax; the revenue your business quietly loses every month because follow-up was never designed, only assumed.

The 9pm Form

A homeowner fills out your contact form Tuesday night. Your office opens Wednesday at 8am. By then, they've submitted forms to two other companies. The one who responded at 9:02pm got the job.

The Orphaned Estimate

Your estimator sends a quote on Monday. Nobody's job is to follow up on it. By Friday the homeowner has three other quotes and picks the company that called them back Thursday.

The Busy Season Blackout

Your team is slammed with jobs. The phone rings. Nobody answers. The voicemail sits for two days. That lead is no longer a lead; they're a customer of the company that picked up.

The Context Reset

A prospect calls back about a quote from last week. A different person answers. They have to explain everything from the beginning. The trust from the first conversation resets to zero.

None of these register as failures. They don't show up in your reporting, your CRM, or your ad dashboard. The lead just quietly goes somewhere else, and the revenue never arrives. The Momentum Tax is invisible until someone measures it.

That's what the FI Audit does.

How the Audit Works

Three sessions. One complete diagnosis.

The FI Audit maps your entire follow-up architecture against the Five Vanishing Points; the five places where momentum either survives or silently disappears between a lead and a closed job.

This is not a marketing audit. It is a diagnosis of what happens after marketing does its job, after the lead arrives and before the money follows.

SESSION 01

Discovery

We learn how your business actually operates. Where leads come in, who touches them, what happens after first contact, and where things currently break down. This is a conversation, not a presentation.

We map every channel, every handoff, and every decision point in your current follow-up process. Most businesses have never seen this laid out. By the end of this session, you will.

What we're capturing: Every lead source and entry point. Who responds and when. What happens after hours, during jobs, and on weekends. Where handoffs occur between people. What gets followed up and what doesn't.
SESSION 02

The Diagnostic

Between sessions, we do the work. We take everything from the discovery session and run it against the Five Vanishing Points, identifying exactly where momentum is decaying in your business.

In this session, we walk you through the findings. Every gap. Every breakdown. Not theory, but what is actually happening to your leads right now.

Timing:Are leads being contacted while intent is still high? Or are they sitting in an inbox for hours?
Ownership:Does every lead have one clear person responsible for the next step? Or does follow-up depend on whoever remembers?
Coverage:What happens to leads that arrive after hours, during jobs, or on weekends? Who responds?
Continuity:When a lead talks to a second person, does context carry over? Or do they start from scratch?
Orchestration:Is there a designed sequence of follow-up steps? Or is it improvised every time?
What we're identifying: Which Vanishing Points are open. Which are partially protected. Which are the primary drivers of decay in your specific business.
SESSION 03

The Readout

We deliver your complete diagnosis. Your Momentum Flow Map, your Vanishing Point Scorecard, and your Momentum Tax number, calculated from your real data.

This is where the math meets the map. You will see exactly where leads are decaying, why, and what it is costing you annually. Most businesses are stunned by the number. Not because it's inflated, but because they've never seen it before.

What you'll see: Your complete Momentum Flow Map. Your Vanishing Point Scorecard across all five points. Your estimated Momentum Tax in real dollars. The cost of inaction, annualized.
What You Walk Away With

Your diagnosis. Your numbers. Yours to keep.

At the end of Session 03, you walk away with three deliverables that change how you see your business.

01

Your Momentum Flow Map

A visual map of every lead path in your business, from first contact through each handoff, response point, and decision gate to close or decay. You will see your follow-up architecture laid out in a way you have never seen it before.

02

Your Vanishing Point Scorecard

A rating across all Five Vanishing Points: Timing, Ownership, Coverage, Continuity, and Orchestration. Each point is scored based on what the audit reveals. You will see exactly which points are protected, which are partially exposed, and which are wide open.

03

Your Momentum Tax Number

The estimated annual revenue being lost to unstructured follow-up, calculated from your real numbers. This is not a projection or a scare tactic. It is the cost of the current design. When you see it in dollars, the question changes from "is this a problem?" to "how long has this been happening?"

Is This for You?

The FI Audit is built for businesses where leads touch real people before they become customers.

If your business depends on someone responding, following up, sending an estimate, returning a call, or closing a conversation, the audit will show you where that chain is breaking.

  • You're spending money on marketing and leads come in, but close rate doesn't match lead volume
  • You've hired a team but things still slip through the cracks between people
  • You're the one doing everything, selling, delivering, managing, and the pipeline dies when you're busy
  • You've always grown by referral and now need to close leads who don't already trust you
  • You have busy months and dead months and can't explain why
  • You've tried CRMs, automation tools, and marketing agencies, but the gap between the lead and the money still exists

Industries We Serve

The momentum problem is the same across every home service business. The crew is in the field. The phone rings. Nobody answers. The lead calls the next company. Only the service line changes; the physics don't.

Common Questions

What business owners ask before they book.

How long does the audit take?

Three sessions over one to two weeks. Session 01 is the discovery conversation. We do the diagnostic work between sessions. Session 02 walks you through the findings. Session 03 delivers your complete diagnosis with all three deliverables. Each session runs 45 to 60 minutes.

What do I need to prepare?

Nothing formal. Know your approximate lead volume, your average job value, and how follow-up currently works in your business. We'll guide the rest.

Is this a sales pitch?

No. The audit is a professional diagnostic. Three sessions focused entirely on understanding your business, identifying where momentum breaks, and quantifying what it costs. You receive your Momentum Flow Map, Vanishing Point Scorecard, and Momentum Tax number. They're yours to keep.

What does the audit cost?

$2,500. This is a professional diagnostic, not a free consultation. Businesses that treat follow-up as an expense get free consultations. Businesses that treat it as a revenue decision invest in the diagnosis.

What if I already have a CRM?

Good. The audit isn't about your tools. It's about the system, or lack of system, those tools are operating inside. Most businesses have the technology. Very few have the architecture.

What if I'm a one-person operation?

The audit works for solo operators and teams. The Vanishing Points are the same. The gaps just show up in different places. For solo businesses, Coverage is almost always the primary gap.

Do you only work with home service businesses?

Green Edge AI serves home service businesses exclusively. The Follow-Up Intelligence framework applies to any business that generates leads and depends on closing them, but Green Edge is built specifically for the realities of field service operations.
