The full assessment · $1,000
One hour, live, with someone who has spent thirty years finding where work gets stuck. Not a form, not an AI, and not a junior consultant with a template.

If it doesn't give you something worth acting on, we return the fee in full.
What you get
Everything below is written in plain English and belongs to you.
Live, on a call, about how the work actually moves through your business rather than how the org chart says it does. That gap is where most of the time goes, and you only find it by asking.
What comes in, what happens to it, who touches it, and where it waits. Most owners have never seen theirs on one page.
Not a maturity score and not a list of technologies. Specific work that is costing you specific time, with the number written next to it so you can argue with it. Where a tool is the answer, we name it, price it, and link it, and we say when the tool is the wrong answer.
Sequenced by what pays back soonest and what has to happen before something else can. Knowing what to do second is worth as much as knowing what to do first.
We go through it together rather than emailing you a PDF, and you can ask follow-up questions for a month afterwards.
What makes it worth paying for
The assessment is not a sales document with our name written through it. It is a plan for your business, in language your own people can follow. Give it to your team, give it to another firm, or act on it yourself, and it does not stop being useful the moment we're not in the room.
Most assessments in this market are shaped to make the next purchase inevitable. That is why so many of them end up in a drawer: the moment you decide not to buy, the document has no other use.
We'd rather sell you the hour and let the work earn the rest.
How it runs
You pay, then you pick a time. That order is deliberate and it's fair to say so.
An hour of preparation and an hour on the call, then the writing afterwards. Booking it costs us the day whether or not the meeting happens, which is the whole reason the money comes first.
The scheduler opens as soon as payment goes through. Usually within the same week.
No slide deck about us, no capability overview. Questions about how your work moves, and a lot of listening.
Written up and sent within three business days, then a thirty-minute call to go through it. Followed by thirty days to ask whatever it raises.
The offer
No retainer, no "starting from," and nothing quoted after the fact.
If it doesn't give you something worth acting on, we return the fee in full. No process, no negotiation.
Four of these run in a week, because the person who asks the questions is the person who writes the answer up.
Our guarantee
If a paid assessment doesn't give you something worth acting on, we return the fee in full. No process, no negotiation.
You're paying before we've met, so the risk should sit with us rather than with you. Tell us and it's refunded.
If you want help afterwards
Most of what the assessment finds is work you can do yourself, and the plan is written so you can. For the parts worth handing over, here is what that looks like.
Built from parts we've built before and scoped tightly. Quoted before we start, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
→ A price before a conversation.
For work that is genuinely yours, or where compliance and evidence are part of the job. Longer and more expensive, and the right answer when it's the right answer.
→ Scoped from the plan you already have.
We keep what we build working as the business changes. Everything is documented in plain English, so you can take it in-house whenever you want to.
→ Yours to keep either way.
The $1,000 comes off the first build you commission within ninety days. Read that as the assessment being free to anyone who goes ahead, and paid for by anyone who doesn't need us.
Before you pay
Then don't pay for an assessment to tell you. Describe it and we'll quote it at a fixed price. Send us the details and we'll come back with a number.
If the real problem is that the business hasn't settled its own process, an assessment will document the disagreement rather than resolve it. Worth fixing that first, and we'll say so if we see it.
Before you book
You can, and some people should. What you're buying is an hour of somebody else's attention on a business you're too close to see, and thirty years of having watched work get stuck in the same few places. Most owners who try it alone get as far as a list of tools and stop, because the hard part isn't finding tools. It's knowing which part of your week is actually costing you money.
Then you'll have them written down with hours and dollars next to them, in an order, which is usually the thing that was missing. If it genuinely gives you nothing worth acting on, tell us and we return the fee in full.
No, and the plan is deliberately written so you don't have to. Most of what it finds is work you or your team can do without us. If you do want something built, it's quoted separately and the $1,000 comes off the first one.
No. Nothing in the assessment assumes you write code or run software, and the tools we point at are chosen for whether your team will actually use them rather than for what they can theoretically do.
Owners and operators of businesses with real admin volume and nobody internal who handles technology. Engineering and site design practices, licensed trades, professional practices. The industry matters less than the shape of the work: if yours runs on deadlines, documents and follow-up that only happens when somebody chases it, you're the right kind of business.
Because booking the hour costs us the day whether or not you show up, and because we'd rather charge for the hour honestly than give it away and spend it selling. The guarantee is the other half of that: you're paying before we've met, so the risk sits with us.
Some people want to speak to a person before they spend a thousand dollars, which is fair. Call (737) 325-1450 or send us the question and we'll answer it straight.
