Work in this area · the first step

We start with one task, not with a six-month programme

We find where the hours go in your work, pick one task and take it into service. The first step has an end — and what comes after it is your decision.

Outcome

What stays with you afterwards

A map of where the hours go

Which operations repeat, how much time they eat and which of them are worth handing to a machine. The map is entirely yours — it works with us and without us.

One task taken into service

Not a prototype and not a demo: a piece of work you can use every day.

An honest answer if it is not worth doing

Some findings are usually fixed with no technology at all — and we say so plainly, even when that cancels the job.

Who it fits

When people come to us with this

Four cases where this is exactly how to begin.

You heard about "implementation" and took fright

The timescales quoted on this market are frightening, and sensibly so. One task is a cheap way to test us and yourselves.

You do not know where to begin

There are many candidates and all of them look important. The review shows where most of the hours actually go.

You tried before and dropped it

You started big, got stuck, rolled back. The second attempt is worth making small.

You need to show a result inside the company

One task that works convinces a team better than any presentation.

How the work goes

A clear order, no surprises

1 · A conversation

Half an hour about your work: what repeats every day, who does it and how much time it eats. No access to your systems is needed at this step.

2 · A map, and one task chosen

We show where the hours go and pick one task: the one that eats the most time and depends the least on particular people. The map stays with you either way.

3 · We take it into service

We build the piece inside your own systems, switch it on and stay around: we watch what it actually does and tell you what changed and why.

The figure is named in a quote for your task, once it is clear how many steps the work has, where they live and what has already been done before us. There is no price list here on purpose: every business has its own set of steps, and an "average price" means averaged work.

Straight talk

What we do ourselves and what we do with partners

We do this ourselves

Taking somebody’s work apart into repeating steps is what we do daily on ourselves: our own setup is assembled from exactly such steps.

Hidden costs are named before the start: where an external model does the work, its subscription is paid separately from our work. On this market that is usually kept quiet until the contract.

We build this out for you

The pieces that come after the first task are shaped to your case. We do not promise a "package of six items" before the first one is actually running.

Where a partner does the work, we stay your single point of contact: we pick the contractor, set the task, watch the timing and answer to you for the result. The contract names the contractor honestly — no "we do everything in-house".

Questions

What people usually ask

What is left with me if we do not carry on?
The map: which operations repeat, how much time they eat and which are worth automating. It is entirely yours — it works with us and without us.
Are there hidden costs?
There are, and we name them before we start: where an external model does the work, its subscription is paid separately from our work. On this market that is usually kept quiet until the contract.
Why not do everything at once?
You can, but it is dearer and riskier: until the first piece runs, nobody honestly knows how much time will be freed. We prefer to find that out on one task.
Enquiry

Let us look at your task

Half an hour about how your work is done — no access to your systems and no commitments.

We call back during working hours. Company details are optional — if you give them, we read the open registries first and come to the conversation prepared.
