Business Automation
- Your process mapped, free, within 24 hours
- A specification you own and can hand to any developer
- A fixed Phase 1 price, the audit fee credited
- The stalling step automated for real, and the code is yours
Three ways in, from free to built
Every process is read by a person and released by the owner. Nothing generated reaches you unread, and you can reply to the person who read it.
A specification you own. Built by any developer, on nothing you rent. The process written down to the point a developer can build it, with a fixed quote for Phase 1, in writing, before any build starts.
Built from the specification you own.
The $1,750 audit fee off the first invoice.
The only number we can't print: your quote is priced from your own specification, line by line. Phase 1 goes live, you own the code, and you can stop after any phase. We bill no hour without it.
If it isn't worth automating, the read says so, and that answer is free too.
For businesses of 10 to 100 people. Below that a stall rarely costs enough to automate; above it you have an IT lead who should write this.
Every package ends in the same place. The check finds the step that stalls, the audit writes it down to the point anyone can build it, and the Build is where that step stops costing you a person's time. You never pay for a build you haven't already seen specified.
What you get, free and paid
The steps of your process as we read them, with who does what in which tool, in the order the work happens.
The stall points: hand-offs, re-keying, and waits on a person, each named from what you told us.
What the status quo costs, from your own numbers. When a number is missing, we say what to send instead of guessing.
The first automation named: the one step worth automating first, and why, in plain words.
A full process map with roles, systems, rules and states, read from your system and a call with you.
What breaks and why, read from the system itself: the last breakages, where they started and what they cost.
The data, the integrations and the acceptance list a developer builds from, so nothing is left to guess at.
A fixed Phase 1 quote, priced on the specification before any work starts.
A specification you own and can hand to anyone: us, your own team, or another developer.
The Phase 1 build, with the audit fee credited on the first invoice.
Phase by phase, each invoiced on acceptance, so you pay for what works.
How it works, from three steps to a built Phase 1
Three steps about one process
Press the button, sign in and fill in three short steps about one process: its name, the steps, who does each in which tool, how often it runs, where it stalls. No access to anything.
The read, within 24 hours
We read your answers ourselves and write back within 24 hours, in your account and as a PDF. The read has five blocks: the process as we read it, where it stalls, what it costs you today, the first automation, and which scope fits.
The audit, in 5 business days
Pay $1,750 and tell us about your system: its address, who deploys a change today, what broke last, and any quotes you hold. We read the system, talk with you, and write the process down to build from. The specification is yours.
Phase 1 quoted and credited
The audit ends with a fixed Phase 1 quote. Build with us and the audit fee comes off the first invoice; we invoice each later phase on acceptance. Take the specification elsewhere and you owe nothing else.
Phase 1 built and running
We build Phase 1 from your own specification and hand it over working. The step that stalled stops being a person's job. The code is yours, and every later phase is quoted before it starts. This is what the four steps before it are for.
Before you start
One process you can describe in your own words: what it's called, the steps, who does them, and where it stalls. Rough is fine.
No access needed for the check. We read what you write and nothing else. We install nothing and nothing on your system changes.
For the audit, read-only access where it exists, and whatever written quotes or proposals you already hold for the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the check really free?
Yes. You fill in three short steps about one process and we read them ourselves, at no charge. The read lands in your account within 24 hours, and nothing sells before you've read it.
-
Do you need access?
No, not for the check. It works from the three steps you fill in, and nothing else. The audit asks for read-only access where it exists, and only once you've ordered it.
-
What if it's a mess?
Then it's the right process to send. A process everyone works around is exactly what the read is for. Describe it as it happens today, not as it should be, and we'll find where it stalls.
-
Is the audit fee credited?
Yes, on the first Phase 1 invoice if you build with us. The $1,750 comes off that invoice as a line of its own. If you take the specification elsewhere, the audit stands as what you paid for.
-
Can I use my own team?
Yes. The specification is yours: hand it to your own team, another developer, or keep it for later. It's written so anyone can build from it, not only us.
-
Why not use a platform?
You can, and sometimes you should. A subscription that runs your automation for you costs about $500 a year, every year, and the workflow lives in that company's account: stop paying and it stops. What we write down is yours, it runs on what you already own, and you pay once. If a subscription is the right answer for your process, we'll say so in the free check.
-
Why only one audit tier?
One audit now, at one price. We write every audit to the same depth, so there's nothing to choose between. A process that reaches beyond one team or one system gets a quote instead, after a short call.
-
How is the read written?
We read your answers ourselves. A draft is prepared for us from what you wrote, and we correct it before it reaches you. We share nothing you wrote, and nothing runs on your system.
