A day of his work
The shop, watched whole.
Every shop has someone who should be watching everything. Now someone is, and it isn't you at 11pm.
The exception, caught
Pattern breaksException namedRouted to the right seatEscalated if it stalls
A booking rate that dips, a tech running long every Thursday, an unanswered ask — caught as a pattern, not an anecdote.
The ask that would have expired
Your inbox watchedAging asks surfacedExpired-vs-answered counted
Approvals that wait on you are tracked honestly. The count of answered-versus-expired is his number, and it's in the flash.
The line he will not cross
What waits for your yes.
Derek runs the watch. Judgment calls stay in the owner's chair.
Waits for you
Anything the seats held
He can chase a stalled approval. He cannot answer it for you — no seat can approve another seat's ask.
Waits for you
Staffing and hours
He'll show you the capacity math. Hiring, firing, and schedule policy are recommendations, never actions.
Waits for you
The books
He briefs the money. He does not take the books — Claire reads them, you move them.
Works with
One shop, five coworkers.
Brooke
her answered-vs-missed count is his first line every Monday.
Travis
board health — booked, slipped, windows missed — feeds the capacity read.
Claire + Paige
money and marketing meet in his flash: what was spent, what it earned.
Plumbing
Emergency load vs scheduled work, balanced week over week.
HVAC
Surge weeks called in advance from weather and history, not after the fact.
Electrical
Project pipeline health: estimates out, aging, and the ones going cold.
Pest control
Route density and churn watched together — thinning routes get named early.
Straight answers about Derek.
No. Dashboards wait for you to look. Derek reads the shop and tells you what matters — and when something breaks pattern midweek, you hear about it midweek.
Last week in numbers, this week's capacity, exceptions worth knowing, and at most three asks that need an owner. One page, written to be read on a phone.
He routes, chases, and escalates. He does not approve, spend, book, or send on the shop's behalf — the four working seats do the work, and your yes stays yours.
Derek keeps the shop watched whole — and the owner's seat yours.
