it's a number.
This is where you find it

Most of what goes wrong in a social compliance audit is visible long before the auditor arrives.
The documentation gaps, the wage structures that won’t survive scrutiny, the grievance systems that technically exist but don’t actually work.
I help companies find those things before someone else does.

ROOT AND WANDER
If you need someone in your corner before the auditor shows up, that’s the other thing I do.

Accountability
This practice has an open feedback channelI audit worker voice systems professionally. It would be hollow to ask companies to build these systems without having one myself.
Anyone who has worked with me, learned from me, or encountered my work is welcome to submit feedback anonymously.
Submissions go to a third-party platform, so I cannot see who submitted them. I review an aggregated summary quarterly and share what I heard and what I changed.
