What do I actually receive?

A current-state process map, a measured cost baseline, a feasibility and risk assessment, an ROI estimate built on your own volumes, a recommended architecture, and a fixed-price implementation proposal.

Is the fee credited if we proceed?

Yes. The assessment fee is credited in full against a Sprint if you go ahead, so it costs you nothing if it leads to a build.

What if you conclude we should not automate it?

That is a legitimate and reasonably common outcome, and you still keep the process map, the cost baseline and the reasoning. Some processes need redesigning before they need automating.

Find Out Whether Your Workflow Is Actually Worth Automating

We map one business process, quantify what it costs you today, assess automation feasibility, and give you a fixed implementation recommendation.

A fixed fee, credited in full against a Sprint if you proceed. The cheapest way to find out whether the rest of the work is justified.

Does any of this look familiar?

These are the symptoms we see before the numbers get measured.

You suspect a process is expensive but cannot put a number on it
Two or three candidate processes compete for the same budget
A vendor has quoted for automation and you have no way to sanity-check it
Leadership wants an ROI case before approving any build
You need to know whether this is an automation problem or a process-design problem

What this process costs you today

Before anyone talks about technology, it is worth knowing the number you are trying to beat.

A worked example

Modelled estimate

2 employees × 6 hours/week of repetitive processing = 624 hours/year.

At $45/hour loaded cost

$28,080

Now run it on your own volumes

Your current process

Monthly transactions processed

Minutes of manual work per transaction

Fully loaded hourly cost

Error / rework rate

Assumptions

Fully loaded hourly cost of the staff running the process today
Rework estimated at 1.5x the original handling time per failed item
Automatable share of 50–70% pending the feasibility findings
Payback modelled against a typical single-process implementation investment

Your estimated opportunity

Modelled estimate

Current estimated annual cost: $77,400≈ 1.0 FTE of manual effort
Potential automatable effort: 50–70%
Indicative payback: 1 month
Potential annual opportunity: $38,700 – $54,180

How we work

1
Map
Sit with the people doing the work and document the process as it actually runs — including the workarounds nobody wrote down.
2
Measure
Establish a baseline: volume, handling time, error and rework rate, and what the process costs you today.
3
Build
Redesign the workflow and build it against your real systems and data — not a mockup or a slide.
4
Validate
Test against edge cases, confirm exception handling and approval gates, and measure the result against the baseline.
5
Deploy
Move into production with monitoring, runbooks and training — or recommend against it if the numbers do not hold up.

What we automate

Building an ROI case for budget approval

How we keep it safe

Human approval gates

You decide which decisions an automation may make alone and which require a person. Thresholds are configured to your policy.

Exception handling

Anything ambiguous, incomplete or out of policy routes to a named owner with the reason attached — it does not fail silently.

Audit trail

Every action is logged: what ran, on what input, what it decided, and who approved it. Built for audit and incident review.

Least-privilege access

Automations connect through credentialed, scoped integrations you grant and can revoke. Your systems stay the system of record.

How engagements run

Each stage is a decision point. You only continue if the previous stage justified it.

Stage 1

Process Assessment

Map one process, quantify what it costs today, and get a fixed implementation recommendation.

Fixed fee, credited against a Sprint Stage 2

Automation Sprint

Redesign and build the workflow, then prove whether the economics justify scaling it.

Fixed scope, fixed fee Stage 3

Production Implementation

Harden a validated workflow for real users, real data, security, monitoring and scale.

Scoped from the Sprint findings Stage 4

Managed Automation

Keep automations reliable as systems, rules and volumes change.
