Your team and the work that doesn't fit into the day
Names of operators, the recurring tasks that bug you, the queues nobody has time to clear.
Step 01 · free 20-minute fit call
Before we book the audit, we make sure there’s a workflow worth auditing.
A free 20-minute, principal-led call. We talk operations. We say yes or no. If there isn’t a workflow worth building, we say so — and you don’t pay a cent. If there is, the next step is the audit.
No deck. No pitch. No invoice. Twenty minutes, principal-led, with a written follow-up sent within one business day either way.
What we cover in 20 minutes
Operational discovery, not a sales pitch.
Four narrow questions, twenty minutes. The goal is a clean read on whether the audit is the right next step — not to extract requirements or scope a build.
A specific candidate workflow you're already thinking about
The thing you've already half-imagined automating. The brief is sharper when the prospect arrives with a candidate, not a wishlist.
Who else would be involved if we proceed
Decision-makers, stakeholders, technical owners. The fit call is faster when we know whose desk a recommendation would land on.
An honest read on whether AI agents apply
Some operating problems are agentic-workflow problems. Some are spreadsheet problems. Some are management problems. We say which.
What you leave with
A clear answer. Not another follow-up.
- A clear yes or no on whether the audit makes sense for your situation
- If yes — a rough estimate of effort and ROI, and what the next step costs
- If no — a candid "not a fit, here's why" so you can stop chasing this thread
- Either way — a written follow-up summarizing what we discussed and what we recommend, sent within one business day
Why a free call instead of a paid audit
Three reasons we’d rather know first.
Buyers shouldn't pay $499 just to find out we're not the right partner. The audit is structured consulting work that produces real deliverables. It's the right fee for what it is — but it's the wrong commitment if the engagement won't go anywhere. The fit call is the cheapest way for both sides to know.
We don't want to charge for a relationship that won't close. Twenty minutes is a real conversation, not a sales pitch. We treat it as the principal's first read on whether there's actual work to do here.
The downstream commitments only earn back if the fit is real. An agentic workflow is not the right tool for every operational problem. We'd rather decline early than overcharge for a build that won't compound.
Common questions
Before you book.
- Is this a sales call?
- No. The 20 minutes is operational discovery — your team, your queues, your existing tools. We'll only propose proceeding if the call surfaces a workflow worth building. Otherwise we end with a candid "not a fit" and you don't pay anything.
- What should I bring?
- Names of the operators on your team, two or three recurring tasks that consume more time than you'd like, and the one thing you'd most want automated if you could. That's enough.
- Will you try to upsell me on something?
- Not in 20 minutes. If we agree the audit makes sense, we'll explain how it works and what it costs ($499 if we decide it's not a fit at the end of the audit, $999 down payment toward the engagement if we proceed). The audit is the commitment, not the call.
- What happens if you decide it's not a fit?
- We say so plainly, explain why, and where possible recommend a different partner who can help. The 20 minutes are yours; you don't pay anything.
- How fast can we book?
- Most fit calls happen within three to five business days of request. The principal does these directly — there's no scheduling team — so calendar capacity is real.
Twenty minutes. Free. Either way you leave with a clear answer.
