Darikoda / Operational audit
Bring the operating problem.
Leave with a leakage map.
A free 30-minute conversation, one-page leakage map and three prioritised fixes. Tell us what you need to inspect and when suits you.
At a glance
The free 30-min Operational Audit produces a one-page leakage map and three prioritised fixes for your operation. You keep the map regardless of next steps.
How the leak shows up.
Fuel numbers that do not add up. A machine that sat too long, accumulating idle time. A cert that took three weeks longer than it should. Parts that keep delaying the workshop. Approval cycles that slow the business down.
You can feel it. You cannot always prove it. The audit is built to map the leak so you can.
Thirty minutes. One page. Your leak named.
A structured conversation off your site, no data room needed, that ends with a one-page leakage map you keep regardless of next steps.
What we look at
The reality of your operation, not just what the spreadsheet says.
In thirty minutes, we walk through the operating layer of your business:
- How the fleet is currently tracked
- How fuel is logged at dispense and reconciled at month-end
- How operator hours are captured and attributed
- How work orders move through the workshop
- How approvals happen across sites, contracts, and chainages
- How month-end reporting gets prepared
Specific to your fleet size, your contract structure, and your reporting cadence. Not a generic walkthrough.
What you leave with
A one-page leakage map. Three prioritised fixes. No pressure.
By the end of the thirty minutes, you have:
A one-page leakage map.
Where your operation is losing money, ranked by likely commercial impact, based on the operating flow we map in the call.
Three prioritised fixes.
What to tackle first, with the rough magnitude of the recovery.
An honest fit assessment.
Whether Darikoda is right for your stage, or whether you should fix something simpler first.
No pressure to continue.
You keep the report regardless of next steps.
What a leakage map looks like
One page. Your leaks, named and ranked.
Example format only. Your audit uses your own numbers.
Fuel
- Evidence gap
- Litres not tied to a machine or operator
- Commercial risk
- Variance absorbed at month-end
- First fix
- Dispense record with operator PIN and machine
Hours
- Evidence gap
- Tracker and timesheet disagree
- Commercial risk
- Billable hours disputed
- First fix
- Shift-level machine-hour record, attributed
Downtime
- Evidence gap
- Cause recorded after the fact
- Commercial risk
- Idle cost buried in a single breakdown line
- First fix
- Downtime reason captured at the event
Cert evidence
- Evidence gap
- Chainage proof reconstructed late
- Commercial risk
- IPC cut or delayed
- First fix
- Section-level evidence pack
The 30-minute audit produces this for your operation, ranked by likely commercial impact. You keep it regardless of next steps.
Book it if
You run a live fleet and you have a fuel, hours, downtime, deduction, cert or approval problem, and you want to know where the operating leak is before buying anything.
Skip it if
You only want a generic software demo. The audit maps your operation, it is not a product walkthrough.

Built for the way Ghana sites actually run.
Patchy connectivity, WhatsApp approvals, mixed fleets, manual bowser logs. The audit starts where the work actually happens.
Ghana, specifically
Why a Ghana-specific audit matters.
In Ghana, the gap between the site and the office is where the margin disappears. Patchy connectivity at remote sites. WhatsApp-heavy approval cycles. Mixed fleets with mixed parts lead times. Manual paper trails at the bowser. Cert cycles that take weeks rather than days.
A generic software demo cannot solve this. The audit starts with the reality on the ground.
Paid deep dive option
For operations that need a deeper diagnostic.
The free thirty-minute audit covers the operating-layer map. For operations that need more depth, there is a paid on-site Deep Operational Audit.
- Half-day on-site review
- Mutual NDA before any data is shared
- Access to pseudonymised operational data, with worker attribution retained at PIN level
- Written diagnostic report with quantified leakage in cedis
- Clear next-step recommendations, ranked by return
- Quoted per scope (not per fleet size)
This is the right step for operations carrying serious contract exposure (Big Push, multi-site mining, multi-project construction). The deep audit pre-qualifies the Build & Activation phase.
Commercial structure
Engagements are structured as a fixed-fee Build & Activation phase followed by an ongoing subscription. The specific number comes out of the audit, calibrated to your fleet, contract structure, and reporting cadence.

We can scope a paid on-site Deep Operational Audit. It examines the agreed records in more detail and produces a written diagnostic report. We agree the scope, price and confidentiality arrangements before starting.
What happens if we decide to use Darikoda?Read the answerClose answer
We agree the setup and cost for your operation. The commercial structure is a fixed setup fee followed by a subscription after the pilot demonstrates value. The rollout guide explains how the team gets started.
Find the leak. Keep the map.
The first 30 minutes are free. The one-page leakage map is yours regardless of what happens next.
Patterns described here are drawn from extensive field audits and industry research across Ghana's mining, construction, roadworks, and quarry sectors. No specific operator is named or identifiable.
