Small-Business Operations, Simplified.
For small, owner-led teams, I build clear, usable ways of working—onboarding that supports people, clear roles, and a weekly rhythm—so work runs smoothly and people feel supported.
Start Small: Clarity Blocks
Clarity Blocks are small, fixed-scope diagnostics designed to untangle one operational constraint at a time. Most are $300; complex situations are $400. You’ll receive a clear written summary and a next-step recommendation—no pressure, no overhauls.
Workflow Snapshot
A clear view of where work is getting stuck, duplicated, or breaking down.
- Friction Map (1 page)
- 7‑Day Fix List (prioritized)
- One 60‑minute working session (up to 2 stakeholders)
Role Clarity Audit
Prevent role drift and hiring churn by making expectations and ownership explicit.
- Role Clarity Summary (1–2 pages)
- Hiring risk flags + ownership boundaries
- One 60‑minute working session (up to 2 stakeholders)
Communication Loop Reset
Reduce misalignment by clarifying channels, handoffs, and decision pathways.
- Team Comms Charter (1 page)
- Decision + handoff path (for one high-friction loop)
- One 60‑minute working session (up to 2 stakeholders)
What I Build
- Operations Baseline — Make the work visible, agree on a clear picture of how it runs today, and choose a small set of high-leverage improvements.
- Onboarding Essentials — A dependable first 90 days for each role with clear expectations, support, and early wins.
- Clarity Hub — Your Clarity Hub in Notion—searchable, usable, and built for how your team actually works: operating guides & checklists, decision pathways (who decides, who contributes, who’s kept in the loop), a weekly operating rhythm, and a light shared dashboard.
Why It Matters
- Handoffs feel cleaner and rework steadily fades.
- New teammates find their footing sooner and contribute with confidence.
- Owners get time back as roles and expectations become clear.
- Delivery becomes steadier and more predictable.
How It Works — The Fokaos Framework
Assess → Design → Pilot → Adopt → Improve
- Assess: Listen, observe, and map what’s true today; baseline a few helpful measures.
- Design: Create operating guides, decision pathways, clear roles, and a weekly rhythm.
- Pilot: Try it with a small group, gather feedback, and tune together.
- Adopt: Coach managers, add job aids, and confirm checkpoints so changes stick.
- Improve: Use a short weekly dashboard and periodic tune-ups to keep momentum.
I Design for the 3Es
- Effective: Hits the outcome.
- Efficient: No extra steps.
- Empathetic: Respects people’s time and attention.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Ashley Tudor, Founder of Fokaos. I started Fokaos because I kept seeing good people working hard inside unclear systems. Owners were carrying too much, new teammates didn’t have enough clarity, and small gaps kept slowing everyone down. My approach is quiet and practical: I listen, then design and build simple ways of working with your team. We run them in the real day-to-day, check for issues and friction, fix what’s off, and run again—until the process flows cleanly and the work feels steady.
