🧩 What is Cost & Process Assessment?

A Cost & Process Assessment is a structured evaluation of an organization’s workflows and spending. It involves analyzing the flow of work and cost of operations to determine where time, money, and resources are being misallocated or underutilized.

The goal? To provide actionable insights for cost savings, process optimization, and strategic growth.
