AI workflow audits · Custom builds

Show us how your business actually runs. We'll show you where AI pays for itself.

Thirty minutes, screen shared, no deck. You walk us through a normal week — the spreadsheets, the inboxes, the copy-paste nobody talks about. You get back a ranked map of what AI can take off your plate, what each one costs to build, and what to leave alone. Then we build the top one.

See how it works

Built for owners and operators of 10–200 person businesses, where the real bottleneck is someone doing the same thing every Tuesday — not a missing strategy.

No platform to migrate to. No AI strategy deck. We start from the work your team is already doing this week.

Where the hours go

The problem isn't that AI can't help. It's that nobody has watched how you actually work.

Businesses your size leak time in the same three shapes. None of them show up in a strategy deck, a tool demo, or a conference talk. They show up in the fifteen minutes you spend watching someone do their job.

Swivel-chair work
The same information gets keyed into two or three systems that were never introduced to each other. Nobody calls it a problem because it's only twenty minutes — forty times a week.
The same twenty questions
Most of the inbox and half the phone calls are requests your team already answered this month, in a thread nobody can find.
Decisions waiting on a spreadsheet
Someone rebuilds the same report by hand every week, and by the time it lands, it's describing a week you can no longer change.

We put an hours-per-week number on each one before we recommend anything — including the ones where the honest answer is “leave it alone.”

Illustrative. On the call we map yours — your step names, your minutes.

How it works

Four steps. You can stop after any of them.

The first one is a conversation, not a pitch. Everything after it is priced before it starts, and nothing gets built until you've seen the map it came from.

01
You walk us through a week
Thirty minutes on a call, screen shared. No prep, no slides. Open the tabs you actually have open on a Tuesday and talk us through them.
What we ask for
  • A screen share, not a deck
  • The tools you really use
  • Where you'd hire next
02
We map the workflow
Every step written down: who touches it, how long it takes, what it costs, and where it stalls. You get the map either way — it's yours whether or not we work together.
Agency example
  • Onboarding: 11.5 hrs/wk
  • Proposals: 6.0 hrs/wk
  • Status reporting: 4.0 hrs/wk
  • Invoice chasing: 2.0 hrs/wk
03
We rank what's worth it
Each candidate scored on hours returned, risk removed, build effort, and running cost. Off-the-shelf beats custom more often than consultants admit — we'll say so when it does.
You get
  • Impact vs. effort ranking
  • Buy, build, or skip
  • Cost to run it monthly
04
We build the top one
Custom, inside the tools you already pay for, with a person in the loop wherever it touches a customer or a dollar. Then we measure it against the baseline from step two.
You get
  • Live in 2–6 weeks
  • Runs in your stack
  • Measured vs. baseline
Where it fits

We don't sell you a platform to move onto.

Whatever we build runs inside the tools your team already opens every morning — your inbox, your CRM, your project tool, your spreadsheets. Nobody has to learn a new system to get the benefit.

No migration, no rip-and-replace, no seat licences to us
A person approves anything that touches a customer or a dollar
You own the accounts, the prompts, and the code we write
The workflow call

Thirty minutes. You talk, we map.

Share your screen and walk us through a normal week — the way you would explain it to a new hire. We ask questions, write down every step, and time the ones that hurt. There is nothing to prepare.

Free · 30 minutes · No deck, no pitch. You leave with the workflow map we built on the call, whether or not you ever hire us.
What we'll ask
  • 01 Walk me through a normal Tuesday — what opens first?
  • 02 Which tasks eat the most hours, and who does them?
  • 03 Where does work sit waiting on one person?
  • 04 What have you already tried with AI, and what happened?
  • 05 If you could delete one recurring task tomorrow, which one?
What it costs

Priced in steps, so you never buy the next one blind.

Each stage ends with something you can act on without us. Plenty of people stop after the Map, run the cheap fixes in-house for a quarter, and come back for the build once they've watched the numbers hold up. That's a good outcome.

The ladder

    30 minutes · You walk us through a normal week on a screen share. We map it live and send you the map afterwards.
  • 02
    AI Opportunity Map$1,500–$3,000
    About a week · Every workflow scored on hours returned, error risk, build effort, and monthly running cost — with a buy, build, or skip call on each one. Credited in full against a build.
  • 03
    Custom build$5,000–$25,000
    2–6 weeks · We build the top-ranked workflow inside the tools you already use, keep a person in the approval loop, and measure the result against the baseline from the map.
  • 04
    Fractional AI advisor$2,000–$5,000/mo
    Optional, monthly · The next workflows down the list, plus someone your team can ask before they sign up for another tool. Cancel any month.
The Map fee comes off the build price in full. And if the map says the honest answer is not yet — that nothing in your business clears the bar this year — we write that down and you keep it. That is a real outcome, and it costs a lot less than finding out the slow way.
FAQ

The questions owners ask first.

Usually in the first five minutes of the call, often with an apology attached. No apology needed — these are the right things to ask.

Then we write that down and you keep the map. Plenty of workflows are better fixed with a template, a cleaned-up handoff, or one setting in software you already pay for — and we'll tell you when that's the case. A consultant whose only recommendation is 'buy the thing I sell' isn't giving you advice.
Sometimes the right answer genuinely is a well-built prompt in a tool you already own, and we'll say so rather than invoice you for it. When we do build, it's real software: connected to your systems, with error handling, logging, and an approval step where it matters. The difference is that we work out which one you need before writing any code.
No. Everything we build runs inside the tools your team already opens — your inbox, CRM, project tool, spreadsheets, file storage. There's no Revenue Desk dashboard for your staff to learn and no seat licences to pay us.
The same person who runs your call. You're not handed off to a junior after signing, and there's no offshore build team you never meet. That also caps how many builds run at once, which is why the calendar sometimes runs a couple of weeks out.
We sign your NDA before the call if you want one. Builds default to your own accounts and API keys, so your data stays in your tenancy and you can revoke access at any time. We don't train models on your data, and for regulated work — health, legal, financial — we scope around the records that can't leave your systems.
Most agencies sell a build before anyone has watched your team work, because the build is the product. Here the first deliverable is a ranked map, and the ranking includes things we'd make no money on. If the map doesn't convince you, there's nothing to cancel.
That's the most common reason these projects die, so we plan for it. We target the work people already complain about — retyping, chasing, re-answering — and we ask your team which tasks they'd hand over first. Anything customer-facing keeps a human approval step, which also happens to be how you keep quality.
During the map we take a baseline: how long the workflow takes now, how often it goes wrong, who it blocks. After the build we measure the same things the same way. If it didn't move, that's a finding we report rather than a number we bury.
