What actually happens in the 90-minute working session?
We sit down with you — on-site or remote — and walk through five measured areas of your operation using our diagnostic tool. You tell us the numbers (inbound volume, close rates, manual hours, team size, customer value), we plug them in, and the tool calculates the opportunity in each area. At the end of 90 minutes, the Brief is populated with your numbers and ready to print.
What's in the Brief?
A one-page written summary: total annual recoverable revenue, broken down across all five measured areas (inquiry capture, response speed, manual workload, system friction, follow-up gap). Plus an ROI calculation against a proposed monthly + implementation investment, a payback period in months, and year-one net benefit. It prints on letter paper. Yours to keep.
How much does an engagement cost?
Tiered by company size. A typical engagement is a monthly service fee plus a one-time implementation cost. Monthly fees range from around $2,500 to $12,000 depending on headcount and scope. Implementation is usually 2–4 months of monthly fees, often discounted or waived with an annual agreement. We don't quote until the Brief is in your hand and the ROI math supports proceeding.
Do you work with businesses under 20 people?
Rarely. Under 20 staff, the operational volume typically doesn't support the investment math. The self-assessment widget above will flag fit either way. If you're close to 20 and growing, let's talk — we can sometimes scope a lighter engagement.
What if the Brief shows the ROI doesn't clear the threshold?
We tell you, and we recommend against proceeding. A healthy engagement needs at least a 5× return on the annual investment. Below that, the work doesn't justify itself and we say so. You keep the Brief regardless.
Office operations or production floor — which do you cover?
Both. The diagnostic looks at inquiry capture and sales operations (front office) and at manual workload, system friction, and follow-up (which span both office and floor). If your operation has production-floor elements — assembly, fulfillment, field-service dispatch — the tool captures the repetitive-work and system-friction costs on that side too.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, always, before any system access. DPAs on request. We can work within your vendor onboarding process if you have one.
After the Brief, am I obligated to engage further?
No. The working session and the Brief are their own thing. Plenty of firms run the session, take the Brief, and implement some of it themselves. We're happy to be the measurement and leave. If you want us to build, that's a separate decision with separate paperwork.
