Julian walks through the intake system that made Ridgeline's turnaround times predictable.
The Ridgeline Intake System
The Problem They Solved
Matters sat idle for a week because nobody owned the first move.
The Framework They Built
A single intake owner, a fixed document request list, and a two-day draft standard.
Key Systems & Processes
Templated request packets, a daily intake standup, and an aging report on any matter past 48 hours.
Results & Outcomes
Time to first draft fell from nine days to two and referral volume doubled.
Pull quotes
"Speed is a system, not an effort."
"Whoever owns the first move owns the outcome."
