THE MARDUK BUSINESS ASSESSMENT

Every engagement begins with the MBA: an intensive, coach-led audit that structures your business and creates the database for your business operating system. Begin the journey of taming the chaos.

A Cathartic Deep Dive

What are the departments? Who's on the team? What does each person do — why do they do it, how frequently, and how do we know when it's done? Does the team agree? Your coach guides your team through a cathartic deep dive into your business and everything it takes to make it happen, extracting every role, project, chore and responsibility — including the ones you don't realize you have.

It's a Negotiation

We call it a negotiation because the process produces opt-in from everyone about what is expected to accomplish each task. When the whole team agrees payroll is completed every two weeks, a payroll that hasn't been issued by the 20th day is a failure to complete on time that you address directly — not a debate about whether or not it is late.

What You Leave With

  • A structured database of your business — roles, departments, projects, chores and responsibilities
  • Negotiated agreements with explicit team opt-in on every expectation
  • Your whole team live on the system and using it every day
  • Phase one of the Marduk Method complete — the foundation of your business operating system

You Will Know Your Business Better

We guarantee you'll know your business much better by the end of the MBA. Most founders are surprised by what the audit uncovers: the hidden chores, the unowned responsibilities, and where the time actually goes. As one graduate put it — 'During the MBA, I noticed myself becoming more aware of what I really don't need to be doing.'

BEGIN THE AUDIT

The MBA is apply-gated — it starts with a conversation, not a checkout. Book a Marduk Evaluation and we'll determine fit together.
