Stop paying senior people to do junior-coder work .

Every team has ten hours a week of work that a quiet automation could handle in the background. We find them, ship them, and put a dollar figure on what you get back.

Where the hours actually go

Manual busywork is the biggest line item nobody puts on a P&L.

60%

of occupations have at least 30% of tasks that are automatable with today's tech.

19h

per week the average employee spends on tasks they describe as 'repetitive.'

$1.4M

average annual productivity loss from manual processes in a 50-person org.

4–6w

from kickoff to first automations live and measurably saving hours.

Self-assessment

If three of these sound familiar, you're sitting on easy wins.

These are the patterns we see in the first hour of every time audit. None of them are exotic — they're the ones nobody has had time to fix.

  • 01The same report gets rebuilt by hand every Friday afternoon.
  • 02New-client onboarding takes a week and pulls in four different people.
  • 03Compliance, finance, or HR live in email threads and spreadsheets.
  • 04You have a 'process champion' whose vacation breaks the business.
  • 05Data gets copied from System A into System B because they don't talk.
  • 06Approvals route through Slack DMs and somebody's memory.
  • 07You've tried Zapier — it kind of works, but nobody can fix it when it breaks.
  • 08Leadership can't quote the actual time cost of any internal process.
How we work

Audit, prioritize, ship, measure. Then do it again.

01

Time audit

Two weeks of shadowing, interviews, and lightweight time tracking. We surface where the hours actually go — usually it's surprising.

02

Process map

Every workflow charted with handoffs, tools, decisions, and time cost. The map alone often pays for the engagement.

03

ROI scoring

Each candidate scored on time saved, complexity, risk, and confidence. We sequence by payback, not by novelty.

04

Build & integrate

Automations live in your real stack — not a parallel universe of brittle Zaps. We use the right tool: APIs, scripts, workflow engines, or RPA.

05

Pilot & rollout

Pilot with one team, measure for two weeks, expand only when the numbers check out. No big-bang rollouts.

06

ROI dashboard

A live dashboard showing hours and dollars saved per automation — so the next round of investment is a leadership no-brainer.

Engagement options

One audit, ongoing wins, or a fully managed operation.

Questions we hear constantly

FAQ.

What tools do you build automations on?

Whatever fits the job. Often a mix of native APIs + a workflow engine (Temporal, n8n, Workato) for serious flows, plus lightweight scripting for one-offs. We avoid stacking brittle Zaps for anything mission-critical.

What if our internal team wants to maintain them?

Great — that's the long-term goal. We document everything, choose tools your team can learn, and run a formal handoff. Most clients keep us on a lighter retainer for the hard ones.

How do you measure ROI?

Baseline first. Before any automation goes live, we measure how long the current process takes and what it costs. After launch, we track the same metric in the dashboard. The number is in hours and dollars, not 'efficiency improvements.'

What about processes that are too messy to automate?

Those are usually the highest-value ones — once we clean up the underlying process. Half our value is naming the structural mess; the automation is just what makes the cleanup stick.

Will automations break and silently lose data?

Not on our watch. Every flow ships with monitoring, alerting, retries, dead-letter handling, and an audit trail. If something breaks, we know — and so do you.
