Two weeks to find out what's actually worth automating
A fixed-price diagnostic that ends with a written report and a recommendation — including the recommendation not to build.
The shape of the work.
The Diagnostic is a two-week, fixed-price engagement. We sit with your team, observe two or three candidate workflows, and produce a written report: which jobs are genuinely worth automating, which aren't, and what a sensible build would look like.
It is deliberately small. The deliverable is the document, not a deployment. If the answer is 'don't build', we say so plainly — that's the most common outcome, and it's still useful.
If the answer is to build, the report becomes the scope for a Build engagement. No pressure to continue, no retainer behind it.
What's actually in the box.
Fixed price, fixed scope
You know the cost on day one. Two weeks, one report, no scope creep.
Honest output
The deliverable is a recommendation. If the answer is 'don't build', the report explains why — and that's the work.
A scope you can act on
If a Build is recommended, the report becomes its scope, with success criteria already written down.
No commitment to continue
You can take the report and run it in-house, with another partner, or shelve it. No retainer attached.
How the commercials work.
Fixed price, agreed in writing on the first call. Two weeks of work, one report. The same price whether the recommendation is to build or not to build.
Worth being honest about.
When Diagnostic is the right shape
- You have a candidate workflow in mind but you're not sure it's worth building.
- You want a written, defensible recommendation before you spend on a Build.
- You're evaluating whether AI fits at all — and you'd value an honest "no".
When we'd steer you elsewhere
- You already know the workflow, the scope, and the outcome. Skip straight to Build.
- You want a strategy deck. Diagnostics produce one focused report on one or two workflows, not a portfolio review.
