- Teams repeating work by hand
What's included
In the price
Interviews with your team
I talk to whoever does the work, not only to whoever runs it.
Map of the processes
How each task works today, step by step and with its real timings.
Savings calculation
How many hours a month each task takes and how many would be recovered.
Prioritised list
What to automate first, what later and what isn't worth touching.
What isn't
Quoted separately
The implementation
This is the analysis. Building the flows is a later commission.
Changing how you work
I can recommend it, but the decision and the internal change are yours.
Auditing people
I analyse processes, not anyone's performance.
What you take away
01
Report of opportunities
What can be automated, how much each one saves and what doing it would cost.
02
Process map
Your workflow drawn out. Useful even if you automate nothing.
03
A clear recommendation
Where to start, with numbers to back the decision.
How it works
- 01First call
Initial conversation
You tell me what's eating your time. Free and with no obligation.
- 02Days 1 – 4
Observation
I talk to the team and see how the work really gets done day to day.

Analysis
I work out timings, estimate savings and rank the opportunities by what they're worth.
- 04Final days
Delivery and presentation
I hand over the report and we go through it together.
Price and terms
It's a self-contained commission: you pay for the analysis and its conclusions, not for whatever comes next. If you decide to carry on with me, what you paid here is taken into account when quoting the project.
Price
Fixed
A single payment
Agreed before we start and it doesn't move. No extra hours, no unexpected extensions.
If you carry on
It counts
It counts towards the project
If you commission the build afterwards, what you paid here is taken into account in the quote.
If you don't
Yours
The report is yours anyway
You can take it to another supplier. It's written so anyone can act on it.
Common questions
It happens, and I'll tell you anyway. You save yourself an unnecessary project and you keep the process map, which is worth having on its own.
Not much: an hour's conversation with each person involved and being around for the odd question.
No. The value of this is precisely that the conclusion doesn't depend on you hiring me. If the best thing for you is to do nothing, I'll say so.
Yes, it's written for that. Any professional should be able to work from it without starting from scratch.
Do you know how many hours a month go on repeated tasks?
Almost nobody does until they measure it. Tell me how you work and we'll find out.
