Send us one process. Get back a cost map.
Pick the one that eats the most time — the report somebody rebuilds every month, the re-keying between two systems, the approval that sits in an inbox. Describe it in a few sentences. We send back a written page telling you what it costs you a year.
What comes back
-
Where the hours go
The steps as they actually run, who touches each one, and how often — not the version in the process document.
-
What it costs per year
Those hours priced at a loaded rate you confirm, so the number is yours and you can defend it to whoever controls the budget.
-
What is worth fixing first
Ranked by cost removed against effort to remove it. Some steps are expensive and easy. Some are expensive and not worth touching yet.
-
What we could not verify
Every assumption behind the numbers, stated plainly. You should be able to check our work, and disagree with it.
Got it.
We will read it properly and send your cost map within five business days. If something needs clarifying, we will email you one question — nothing else.
