Custom Automation Consulting
Sometimes the highest-leverage move isn't building — it's knowing what to build first. We audit your operations, put a number on what every manual process costs you, and hand you a roadmap ranked by payback speed.
The problem
Sound familiar?
Knowing you should automate and knowing what to automate first are very different problems.
- A dozen automation ideas, no idea which ones actually pay for themselves — so none get built.
- A previous automation attempt that died quietly because nobody owned it after launch.
- Tool decision paralysis: n8n or Make? Build or buy? Every blog post says something different.
Our approach
How we fix it
The audit works like this: we sit with the people doing the work, map each recurring process step by step, and cost it honestly — hours spent, error rates, delay costs, opportunity cost. Each process gets an automation feasibility score and an ROI estimate, and the output is a ranked roadmap: what to automate, in what order, with which tools, and what each phase should cost.
From there you choose: take the roadmap and run (it's yours), have us build it, or put us on retainer — where we maintain what exists, ship improvements monthly, train your team, and review the numbers with you quarterly. Our incentive is simple: retainers only survive when the systems keep earning their keep.

FAQ
Common questions about this service
The free 30-minute audit finds your single most expensive manual process and sketches what automating it would take — genuinely useful on its own. The paid audit goes wall to wall: every recurring process mapped, costed, and ranked into a roadmap you can execute with us or without us.
No — the roadmap is deliberately tool-honest and vendor-neutral. Some items will be "buy this $30/month SaaS", some "your ops person can do this in Zapier in an afternoon", and some genuinely need custom work. The roadmap is yours either way; we'd rather earn the build work on merit.
A fixed allocation of senior build time each month covering maintenance, fixes, and new improvements from the roadmap — plus monitoring of everything we've shipped, priority response when something breaks, and a quarterly review where we re-rank priorities against real results. Unused focus rolls into the next most valuable item, never into thin air.
