Find where the hours go

Operations map

Most departments cannot say where their week goes. They can name the painful parts. Those are rarely the expensive ones, and the map shows the difference before anyone writes code.

What we do

We sit with the people who do the work and watch them do it. Six to ten interviews, forty minutes each, recorded with permission. We ask for read access to the systems the work passes through so we can count volumes rather than estimate them.

Then we write it down. Every recurring workflow gets a page: who starts it, what it touches, how often it runs, how long it takes, and what it costs in salary hours per month.

What you get

A document, not a deck. Your finance lead and your IT lead can both read it, so there is no vendor language and no unexplained acronyms.

At the end of it there is a build order: the workflows ranked by hours returned against effort to build, with the first one specified tightly enough to quote.

What it is not

It is not a readiness assessment and there is no maturity score. Those produce a number that changes nothing. If the map finds no workflow worth automating, it says that in the first paragraph and we tell you to keep your money.

Next step

Tell us what your team still does by hand.

Thirty minutes on a call. You describe the work that eats the week. We tell you whether an agent can take it and what building it would cost, including when the answer is that it cannot.

Analytics and spam protection

We would like to count visits with Google Analytics, and to load Google's spam check on the contact form. Both load only if you accept. Either way we store one entry in your browser so this does not ask again, and the contact form works the same whichever you press.
