Find out which of your processes are actually ready to automate
A fixed-price audit of your systems, data and workflows that tells you what to automate first, what to leave alone for now, and roughly what each would cost. Delivered as a document you own, whether or not you go on to build anything with us.
- 300+ migrations, zero data loss
- Core Web Vitals in the green
- 24/7 emergency cover
-
Map the work as it really runs
Not the process diagram from two years ago. The actual sequence, including the spreadsheet somebody maintains by hand and the approval that happens over WhatsApp.
-
Look at the state of the data
Most automation projects fail here rather than at the model. If the product data is thin, no assistant can describe it honestly, and finding that out early is worth more than a prototype.
-
Separate judgement from rules
Much of what looks like AI work is a scheduled query nobody has time to run. That part is cheaper, more reliable and faster to build without a model involved.
-
Price the shortlist
Each candidate gets an estimate, a rough payback, and an honest note on what could go wrong with it.
-
Say what to leave alone
Every audit we run rules things out, and that section tends to be the one clients quote back to us.
What you get
A written report, not a slide deck
Findings, the shortlist, the estimates and the risks, in a document that still makes sense to somebody who was not in the room.
A ranked shortlist
Ordered by value against effort, so there is an obvious first thing to do rather than twelve equal options.
A data readiness verdict
Which systems are ready to be queried, which need cleaning first, and what that cleaning involves.
A build or buy view
Some of what people ask us to build is already a product they could subscribe to. We will say so.
A proof of concept, if one is warranted
The natural next step is a narrow build against real data that proves or kills the idea, rather than a pilot that runs for six months.
No obligation to build with us
The report is yours. Several clients have taken one and done the work in house, which is a reasonable outcome.
What we usually end up telling people
Three findings come up often enough that you may as well know them before you commission anything.
Start read-only
An agent that only reads and reports is worth more in month one than one with write access that nobody trusts enough to leave running.
The bottleneck is rarely the model
It is usually access: data spread across systems that do not talk, with no interface an agent could safely use.
Some of this is worth waiting for
Standardised WordPress abilities for creating and updating are targeted at the 7.2 cycle. If your use case sits exactly there, we will tell you to wait rather than sell you a version that gets replaced.
What people ask before they start
Something not covered here? Ask us directly and an engineer will answer.
Ask a questionA written report rather than a slide deck: the findings, a shortlist ranked by value against effort, an estimate and a risk note for each, a verdict on whether your data is ready to be queried, and a section on what to leave alone for now.
No. The report is yours either way, and some clients take one and do the work in house. That is a reasonable outcome and we would rather that than sell you a build that was never the right first step.
Then we say so, and say what would have to change first. Most automation projects fail on access and data quality rather than on the model, and finding that out in an audit is far cheaper than finding it out in a build.
A consultation is a conversation. This is a fixed-price piece of work with a deliverable: we go through your systems, your data and the way the work actually runs, including the spreadsheet somebody maintains by hand, and write it down.
