// Questions

Frequently asked questions

Before we arrive, we spend 1–2 weeks analyzing your systems and data remotely. Then we are on-site for two full days: department-by-department process mapping, staff interviews, and our 3-bucket diagnostic, sorting every workflow into duplicative, unnecessary, or crucial. We map the operation first and look at technology last.

Within two weeks of the visit: a dollar-quantified findings report, a prioritized ROI roadmap (every opportunity ranked by hard-dollar impact, with a timeline to capture it), and a software lock-in assessment of your current stack. A plan you can act on, not a deck that gathers dust.

Minimal. Most staff interviews run 20–30 minutes, and we work around your operation rather than halting it. The heavy analysis happens on our side, before and after the two on-site days.

If we cannot identify at least $250,000 in clear annual savings, the audit is free. No path to $250K, no invoice.

Every audit is senior-led and hands-on, so we cap intake to protect the depth of each engagement. That is also why it is application-only: we confirm fit before anyone commits.

No. Your engagement includes a 30-Day Implementation Sprint, so we do not just hand you a roadmap and walk away. The roadmap is yours either way, so you can run it in-house if you would prefer.

Once you approve the roadmap, we move in and ship the highest-ROI fixes alongside your team: the automations and process changes that pay back fastest. Most are live within 30–60 days. We ship the fixes, not a report.

If you want us to keep going (building out the longer-tail automations, deeper systems work, or ongoing operational support), that is available as a separate, optional engagement. Many clients take it from there in-house with the roadmap in hand.

Put AI & automation to work in your operation.

Apply for your audit. If we can’t find at least $250K in savings, it’s free. Next window: July 2026, only 2 slots.
