Clarity Before Change

Before adding new tools or rebuilding anything, you need clarity.

This is not a generic checklist or a software sales pitch.

Every organization reaches a point where technology feels heavier than helpful. Systems don't talk to each other. Workarounds become normal. Decisions take longer than they should.

At 26 Pins, our Tech Audit & Assessment is designed to give you a clear, honest view of what's working, what's broken, and what's holding your business back—without judgment, vendor bias, or unnecessary complexity.

What This Assessment Is (and Isn't)

It's a strategic, human-centered evaluation of how your technology, processes, and people actually work together today—and where they're getting in each other's way.

We look at your systems through both a technical and operational lens, so recommendations are practical, realistic, and aligned with how your team works.

What We Review

Depending on your environment, the assessment may include:

Systems & Tools

  • Websites, CMS, custom applications
  • CRM, ERP, project management, and internal tools
  • Integrations, data flow, and automation

Process & Workflow

  • How work actually gets done (not how it's documented)
  • Bottlenecks, redundancies, and manual workarounds
  • Dependencies that create risk or slow decision-making

Data & Visibility

  • Where data lives and who can access it
  • Reporting gaps and duplicated data
  • Security, permissions, and ownership

Scalability & Risk

  • What will break as you grow
  • Technical debt and hidden dependencies
  • Single points of failure

People Experience

  • Usability and adoption challenges
  • Where systems create frustration or burnout
  • Training, ownership, and accountability gaps

What You'll Walk Away With

You won't just get findings—you'll get direction.

Every Tech Audit & Assessment includes:

A plain-language summary of your current state
Clear identification of priority issues vs. nice-to-fix items
A practical roadmap for next steps
Recommendations that balance quick wins with long-term strategy
Guidance on whether to fix, replace, integrate, or leave things alone

No pressure. No forced rebuilds. Just clarity.

Who This Is For

This assessment is ideal if:

You feel like your systems are holding you back
Your team relies on manual workarounds or tribal knowledge
You're planning growth, restructuring, or a major initiative
You've inherited a messy tech stack and don't know where to start
You want to invest wisely instead of guessing

If you've ever thought "we should fix this, but I don't know how or where to begin," this is the right place to start.

Our Approach

I don't believe in technology for technology's sake.

My work is grounded in the belief that systems should work for people—not force people to adapt to broken tools. The goal of this assessment isn't perfection; it's alignment.

When systems are aligned with how your business actually operates, everything becomes lighter:

Decisions happen faster
Teams communicate better
Growth becomes intentional instead of chaotic

What Happens Next

After the assessment, you can:

Use the findings internally
Hand them to your existing vendors or team
Or partner with 26 Pins to execute the roadmap at your pace

There's no obligation to move forward—but most clients do, because clarity creates momentum.
