Built for Blayze Thomas and the NDOT hiring team. Everything below is verifiable in your terminal — I've included the exact curl commands so you can run the audit yourself.
NDOT already coordinates fundraising delivery across every state and territory Cancer Council. The work is federation-wide by definition — stakeholders are everywhere, the supplier ecosystem (Funraisin, your design and dev partners) is geography-agnostic, and AEST is AEST whether I'm typing from Melbourne or Sydney. I'm offering to fly up monthly for stakeholder workshops on my own time, and I can be in Sydney within 90 minutes wheels-up to wheels-down.
Run this morning, 18 May 2026, from a Melbourne residential IP. Method: curl -sIL --max-time 12 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} %{time_starttransfer}s". Five real findings below — three quick wins, one critical, one validation of existing strength.

The site may be behind region-restricted or aggressive bot-protection rules, or it may have been temporarily unavailable. Either way — when I as a prospective donor click your URL and wait 12 seconds for a response, I leave.2.07s; Biggest Morning Tea TTFB 2.52s. Google's "good" threshold for CDN-served sites is <800ms. Both well above. On a donor's mobile data this compounds — the difference between TTFB 0.5s and TTFB 2.5s is roughly a 15–20% drop-off in completed visits per Google's own field data.0.43s proves your platform CAN deliver fast first-byte. The performance variation across the four sites (0.43s → 2.52s → timeout) suggests inconsistent hosting/CDN configuration across what should be a shared Funraisin tenancy.<title> tags carry the campaign year/date (Daffodil Day 2026; Biggest Morning Tea | 21 May 2026). This is the correct call for time-bound campaigns — current campaign wins organic. The opportunity: structured-data + AI-search readiness so when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "when is Daffodil Day this year", your page is cited.Three of the four campaigns are within a 12-week window of their 2026 peak (ABMT May, Longest Day June, Daffodil Day August). A new Lead arriving in June has roughly six weeks to take the audit above from "interesting list" to "concrete improvements live before the campaign peak". I've already done the hard part — the audit itself — so we start day one with shared evidence rather than discovery.
If the application alone isn't enough to commit, I'll take a paid two-week trial at AUD $95/hr (4 days/week) with a single deliverable: a full audit + 90-day improvement roadmap for the campaign of your choice. End of week two you have data to decide with, I have evidence to be hired on, and there's no sunk cost on either side.
Then either the application is enough, or we run the paid trial. Either way, low risk for NDOT.
