How we keep the audit honest
An audit is only useful if the people being audited trust it.
The audit's job is to surface evidence, and the principal draws the conclusion. We hold that line openly, and it is why dealers let the shops run in the first place.
Published rubric
The scoring rubric is published, so dealers can see exactly what is measured and how. No black box.
Advisory board
We are seating an independent advisory board of dealer principals to review the methodology on a recurring cadence.
Score-only option
A score-only engagement delivers the audit and the report with no follow-on pitch attached, for dealers who want it purely as a management tool.
