UNDERNEATH ALL FIVE · MEASURED
Know what's working instead of guessing.
Cyber6 Core is how Cyber6 measures and reports on the work across Get customers, Serve customers, Get paid, and Run the business, from your own systems, so you can see what changed and why.
Cyber6 is an AI & technology partner: we automate the work slowing businesses down, protect them with IT & cybersecurity, and train their people.
Every number defined with you and compared to your own starting point
Core sits under Get customers, Serve customers, Get paid, and Run the business. It records your starting numbers and shows what each one changed.
THE PROBLEM
You find out in May how March really went.
The accountant closes March in the third week of April. The numbers look worse than expected. The reason turns out to be one product line sold below cost since January and two customers who stopped ordering in February.
Nobody hid anything. The information existed in three systems that don't speak to each other, and reading it meant exporting spreadsheets that nobody had time to build.
By the time a monthly report shows a problem, it has been running for six to ten weeks. Same numbers, seen weekly, would have cost a fraction to fix.
WHAT IT'S COSTING YOU
Problems compound while you wait
A pricing error, a leaking margin, or a quiet customer keeps going for weeks because nothing surfaces it early.
Decisions rest on memory
Without current numbers, hiring, pricing, and purchasing decisions are made from what people remember about last quarter.
Everyone brings their own numbers
Sales, operations, and finance each pull a different report, and meetings turn into arguments about whose figure is right.
Reporting eats real hours
Someone spends the first days of every month building a spreadsheet that is already out of date when it's presented.
HOW IT WORKS
How it works
We start with the handful of numbers that actually drive your business, not a dashboard with forty charts nobody reads.
We agree on what matters
A short session with you picks the six to ten numbers that tell you whether the business is healthy.
We connect your systems
Accounting, sales, service, scheduling, and operations data is pulled together automatically, on a schedule.
The numbers get one definition
Each measure is written down in plain terms so everyone is counting the same thing.
You get a weekly picture
A short, readable view arrives on the same day each week: what moved, in which direction, and by how much.
Alerts fire when something slips
Thresholds you set trigger a notice the moment margin, cash, or activity crosses a line.
We review it with you
On a regular call we go through what changed, what caused it, and what to do next.

INDUSTRY FIT
Does it work for my kind of organization?
BEFORE
The owner judges the month by the bank balance.
AFTER
Regular reports show which parts of the business are working.
We've worked with organizations in this sector.
More for small businessDon’t see yours? If you're deciding on gut feel or month-old reports, Core likely fits. We’ll confirm on a Discovery Call.
WHAT WE MEASURE
How we'll know it's working
We record your starting point before anything changes, then compare every result to it.
Time to see a problem
How long it takes from something slipping to someone noticing.
WE WANT THIS LOWER
Hours spent reporting
How many hours a month your team spends pulling numbers together.
WE WANT THIS LOWER
Numbers everyone agrees on
How many of your key numbers have one agreed definition.
WE WANT THIS HIGHER
HOW WE TRACK IT: THE CYBER6 PROVE FRAMEWORK
Plan
Agree on what success looks like, in writing.
Before any work starts, we agree with you on the few numbers that matter, how each one is defined, and what a good result looks like. This goes in writing, so nobody moves the goalposts later.
Record
Capture your starting point before anything changes.
We capture where those numbers stand today from your own systems. That starting point is what every later result is compared to.
Operate
Run the work across all four foundations.
The four foundations do their work: answering leads, following up, collecting, bringing customers back, and removing waiting. Core keeps track of what each one is doing.
Verify
Compare results to the starting point.
On a regular schedule, we compare the numbers to your starting point and show what changed, what didn't, and why, in plain language.
Evolve
Decide together what to change next.
Together we decide what to adjust, what to stop, and what to add next. Then the cycle starts again.
YOUR DATA, YOUR RULES
How your information is handled
Bringing numbers together means touching sensitive systems. These rules are set before anything is connected.
- Your data stays in accounts you own, and you keep access when we're not involved
- Only the fields needed for an agreed measure are pulled, and nothing else
- Access is limited by role, so payroll figures aren't visible to everyone with a login
- Connections are monitored and logged as part of our IT & cybersecurity work
- Your information is never sold, shared, or used for anyone else's benefit

QUESTIONS
Common questions
It's built to be the opposite. We pick six to ten numbers that matter to you, deliver them as a short weekly read, and review them together on a call.
No. Messy data is normal, and the first pass usually surfaces duplicates and gaps worth fixing anyway. We start with the numbers that are reliable and improve from there.
Usually not. We read from what you already use. A change is only worth discussing if the current system can't produce the numbers at all.
You do. It stays in accounts you control, and you keep access whether or not we're involved. We don't sell or share it.
Those tell you what already happened, weeks later, in accounting terms. This is weekly, in your own words, and covers operations as well as money.
The first useful weekly view usually comes together within a few weeks, starting with the systems that connect easily, then adding the rest.
