2-4 week customer experience and operations diagnostic.

For founders and customer or product leaders at remote-first fintech, insurtech, femtech and small agile firms who want a customer experience diagnostic before a larger redesign. I use experience built in regulated financial services, including at Standard Life.

The problem. It is unclear where to intervene first across journeys, operations and AI. A Consumer Duty gap analysis or a customer journey audit for financial services is often the missing first step.

What you get in 2-4 weeks.

  • Current-state map of customer experience and operations and journeys
  • Prioritised issues
  • Recommendations on what to automate, what stays human, and how to protect outcomes
  • A clear recommended next engagement

This is senior in-house judgment sitting with your team and landing change. It is not a partner research deck.

Common questions.

What do I get from a customer experience diagnostic?

In 2-4 weeks you get a current-state map of customer experience and operations and journeys, the issues in priority order, and a recommendation on what to automate, what stays human, and how to protect outcomes. You also get a clear view of the next engagement, which might be a redesign, a programme rescue, or a decision to wait.

Can it include a Consumer Duty gap analysis?

Yes, where the Duty is in scope. A Consumer Duty gap analysis in this sprint is about customer evidence: whether you can show outcomes, not a legal memorandum. I am not a law firm or a compliance monitor. I work alongside your compliance lead.

Is a customer journey audit for financial services included?

Yes. A customer journey audit for financial services is the spine of the sprint. I map how customers move through the product, where the journey breaks, and where a small firm should intervene first. The method comes from regulated financial services, including work at Standard Life, and I size it for a small agile team.

The Consumer Duty page sets out how I help with outcomes evidence. The definition, drivers, TEXAS model and IDEA model are on FCA vulnerable customers. I have written up the FCA vulnerability review. If the sprint shows the operating model needs to change, the next step is customer operations redesign.
