Taking over a company, facing a renewal, or watching something slip? Start with a Spot Check.
I go through your records.
I talk to your people, from the owner down to the crew.
Then I put it in writing:
- where work is stuck
- where hours and money are going that they shouldn’t
- what to fix

When a Spot Check makes sense
You took over a company and the reports look fine, but you haven’t seen it for yourself.
A renewal, a rating, or a big decision is coming, and you want the truth first.
Something is slipping, and everybody you ask has a different reason why.
Costs keep climbing, and nobody can show you where.
If you already know what’s wrong, you don’t need one.
Two ways to do it
Spot Check: Remote
I talk with your stakeholders, owners, managers, and the people doing the work by phone and video, and I go through your records.
You get a written overview of what’s wrong and what to fix first, and a call to go through it.
Travel: none.
Book the remote Spot CheckSpot Check: On Site
I spend two days at your site, hands-on. I see how you actually operate and I talk to everybody.
You get an in-depth written report: what I found, why it’s happening, and the order I’d fix it in. Then we sit down and go through it.
Travel: you cover my flight and stay, plus per diem at U.S. Department of State rates.

Every company is different, but these keep showing up. I’ve run into each of them on jobs of my own.
- Who the work should belong to now that the last person left, because I’ve been the fourth one sent in to sort that out.
- What only a few people know and nobody wrote down, because I’ve pulled more than 250 hours of it from vendors on their way out the door.
- Why you can’t keep enough good people on the job, because I’ve brought call-outs down to one to three a week on a 140-person contract.
- Why costs are running ahead of what you charge, because I’ve kept those books myself at my own logistics company.
- What an auditor is going to find before they find it, because I’ve kept a power plant’s hazmat audit at Outstanding.
- What’s about to fall through the cracks in a handover, because I’ve been through a critical facility’s move from the builders to operations without it ever going offline.
Who you’d be talking to
On a facilities contract overseas, I went back through the records and found 612 hours of projects that had been sitting, caught up in the approval chain with nobody behind them. I picked those projects up, rebuilt them, and pushed them through. They were worth $43K to $69K.
On one federal contract, I met with 130 of the 140 people on it, one at a time. The answers about why a site is slipping are usually with the people doing the work.
I’m Devon Rigby, the founder of this firm. I’ve owned two logistics companies, running everything from LTL and over-the-road to warehousing and global freight. I’ve been a program manager, a project manager, a power plant supervisor, a utilities chief, and a mechanical technician. I’ve worked at the top of a company and at the bottom of one, so I know what to ask at each level.
What a Spot Check isn’t
It tells you what’s wrong. It doesn’t fix it, and it isn’t an engineering inspection, a compliance audit, or legal advice. If you want help fixing what it finds, that’s what the retainers are for.

Fifteen minutes. I’ll tell you which Spot Check makes sense, or if you don’t need one.
