We can name your bills
before you show us one.
Two facts you know without looking anything up, and this sorts what a business of your shape is most likely renting.
HVAC, five people
A guess at list price: $798 a month a build would stop, $195 a month worth keeping. Your statement, read properly, is $1,000.
| What | Verdict | Why | A month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Review requests | Paying for nothing | Nobody has opened it, or it duplicates something else | $99 |
| Field service platform | Replaced by one build | Rent that stops the month your own system goes live | $600 |
| Dispatch and routing | Replaced by one build | Rent that stops the month your own system goes live | $99 |
| Accounting | Worth keeping | Cheap, specialised, and not worth rebuilding | $70 |
| Phone system | Worth keeping | Cheap, specialised, and not worth rebuilding | $125 |
The other half of the bill is hours.
The same two facts, in the currency you cannot invoice.
- Plain software 37 hrs Rebuilding the day when the first job runs over
- A model does it 29 hrs Writing up what was done, after hours
- Stays with you 23 hrs The call that is not a booking
More of it is plumbing than is AI. Almost nobody selling you AI will put that in writing. Guessed from two facts: the real ones come out of a brief with whoever runs each function.
-
01
What am I actually paying,
all of it? -
02
Who signed this,
and are they still here? -
06
Which of these owns my data,
and not me? -
08
How many enquiries
did nobody answer? -
12
What would one build
actually replace? -
14
If I only do one thing,
which one?
How it is
actually done.
Two of the days are conversations. The charges can be read off paper; the hours cannot, and pretending otherwise is how an audit turns into a list of things you already knew.
-
You send the paper
Trade, headcount, the card statement, and whichever logins you are willing to share.
-
We talk to your people
One conversation each with whoever runs the phone, the board, the vans and the books. Two of the five days go here, and this is where the hours come from.
-
Fourteen pages come back
Keep, cancel, own, and against every line worth automating, what we would build first and what we would leave alone.
What it costs,
and what you do with it.
Once
$1,000
5 to 7 days, and two of them are conversations rather than desk work. Nothing is cancelled by us and nothing is signed by us.
What it is for
Yours
The cancel column pays for this several times over in the first month, against the rent you are carrying, and you can act on it without us. If the own column is worth building, it says so with the arithmetic. If it is not, it says that instead.
Send us the statement.
The trade, how many people, and a card statement with the recurring charges on it. Then we talk to whoever runs each function, once each, and you get the fourteen pages back inside a week: the sort, the hours, and a hypothesis against every line worth automating. If the honest finding is that you are already lean, that is the finding you get.
