Michael Victory 8ed9bd1ffd Rebuild SW site to OC standard (continuity-led, steel-accent sibling)
Sibling of the finished OC site: shared paper+navy + Playfair/Lora/DM Sans foundation, steel-blue accent (replaces warm amber). First-person voice. Restructured to diagnose -> fix -> keep-it-handled with the recurring Continuity Partner elevated as a feature card; web-tools cases kept as proof of delivery; single earned OC handoff. Tuned per the Charlene Li REC: reinvention-not-efficiency hero, messy-data objection killer, MIT 95% stat (primary-sourced), sovereignty stated louder. continuity-audit.html rebuilt to match.

<p class="eyebrow">Why start with an audit</p>
<h2 class="statement-line">Most owners have a gut feeling about who they can't afford to lose. <em>This turns it into something you can act on.</em></h2>
<p>A clear map of where the knowledge lives, how exposed you are, and what to fix first. It's deliberately low&#8209;commitment — no software to buy, no obligation to do the bigger work. You come away with a real deliverable whether or not we ever work together again.</p>
<p class="emph">You can't fix what you can't see. This is how you see it.</p>

<p class="eyebrow">What you get</p>
<h2>A short, focused engagement — <em>not</em> weeks of disruption.</h2>
<p class="section-intro">Built around a few hours on your floor, scheduled around your production.</p>
<div class="cards stagger">
<div class="card">
<span class="step-k">Map</span>
<h3>A knowledge&#8209;risk map</h3>
<p>Who holds the critical know&#8209;how — the setups, the fixes, the customer history, the judgment that isn't written down anywhere. The people, the roles, and the single points of failure.</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<span class="step-k">Quantify</span>
<h3>An honest exposure read</h3>
<p>What it would actually cost you if a key person left tomorrow — in downtime, scrap, late jobs, and lost customers. The risks ranked, so you know what's urgent and what can wait.</p>
</div>
<div class="card feature">
<span class="card-tag">Yours to keep</span>
<h3>A plain&#8209;English report &amp; roadmap</h3>
<p>A written summary you can read in one sitting — no jargon — plus a prioritized roadmap of what to capture first and how. For owners thinking about exit, it doubles as a clear statement of where your business value is concentrated, and how to protect it before you sell.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="reassure">Fixed fee, agreed before we start. You'll know exactly what it costs and exactly what you get.</p>

<p class="eyebrow">How it works</p>
<h2>Three steps. <em>That's it.</em></h2>
<ol class="steps">
<li>
<h3>A free fit call</h3>
<p>A short conversation to make sure an audit is the right starting point for you. If it isn't, I'll say so.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Time on your floor</h3>
<p>A few focused hours seeing how the work really runs and talking with the people who hold the knowledge. Scheduled around your production, not the other way around.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Your report &amp; roadmap</h3>
<p>You receive the written risk map, exposure read, and prioritized roadmap — and a walkthrough to make sure it's clear. What you do next is entirely your call.</p>
