How it was built

Two rounds, one afternoon.

Everything here was generated live from Tarka's own documents — first the program on the table, then the level above it.

The AI audit · person by person

Three roles. Hours back on every one.

Each drawn from the team's own logged activity — the share of time a system can take on, the hours it gives back, and the assistant it would become.

The Goldratt constraint

The one thing everything waits on is data entry.

Every dashboard, every reconciled tracker, every report is only as good — and as fast — as the data that goes in. Today that data is keyed by hand out of meetings and forms, and that's exactly where confusion and error creep in. Relieve that single step and the whole system speeds up. Everything else is downstream of it.

Outcome
Confident decisions
Made from data you can trust

The fix, in plain terms: capture the data once, cleanly — a structured intake that checks itself as it goes, so it's right the first time and flows everywhere automatically. Fix the constraint, and every deliverable above gets faster and more trustworthy at once.
