Find your biggest systems bottleneck — in two weeks, for a fixed fee.
The Systems Opportunity Sprint is a paid diagnostic, not a sales call in disguise. We map how your business actually operates, price what the bottlenecks cost you, and hand you a roadmap you own — whether or not you ever hire us to build.
Deliverables
What you walk away with.
Workflow map
How work actually flows through your business — every handoff, re-entry point and delay, documented end-to-end.
Bottleneck analysis
The ranked list of what's slowing you down, with the cost of each bottleneck estimated in hours and dollars.
Systems audit
What you're running, what it costs, what's duplicated, what's held together by a spreadsheet and one heroic employee.
Build vs. buy vs. integrate
An honest recommendation for each problem — including "buy the off-the-shelf tool" when that's the right answer.
Architecture & ROI hypothesis
What the future system looks like, what it should cost, and the return case — so the decision is financial, not emotional.
Phased roadmap
A sequenced plan starting with the highest-return fix. Where scope allows, we include one tightly bounded quick win inside the Sprint itself.
- You own everything. Every deliverable is yours to keep — take it to any engineering team you like.
- No lock-in. There is zero obligation to build with us afterwards.
- Honesty is the product. If the right answer is off-the-shelf software or a $500 automation, that's what the roadmap will say.
Is this you?
The Sprint fits if growth is outrunning your systems.
- You're 10–250 people and busier than your processes can handle
- Key workflows depend on spreadsheets, email threads, or one person's memory
- The same data gets typed into more than one system
- Customers call to ask for updates your systems should be sending
- Quoting, scheduling or dispatch is manual and slow
- You've opened new locations, made an acquisition, or grown fast
- Your industry software no longer fits how you actually operate
Three or more of these? A Sprint will almost certainly pay for itself in what it finds.

Questions, answered straight
Sprint FAQ
Why is the Sprint paid instead of a free consultation?
Because free consultations are sales pitches, and you'd be right not to trust one. A paid Sprint means we owe you real work: mapped workflows, priced bottlenecks and a roadmap with our name on it. The fee buys you an honest answer, including "don't build anything."
What does it actually cost?
Between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the number of workflows and systems involved. We fix the price before we start — no hourly surprises.
How much of my team's time does it take?
Typically three to five hours total across the two weeks: a kickoff, short interviews with the people who actually do the work, and a findings session at the end.
What happens after the Sprint?
You own the roadmap and can execute it with anyone. If you build with us, most clients start with the highest-return item as a Rapid Operations Build ($5,000–$20,000) and expand from evidence, not promises.
Will you just tell us to buy custom software?
No — and this is the point. For every bottleneck we recommend the simplest economically sensible fix: buy, integrate, automate, adapt proven technology, or build. Custom software is one tool in the box, not the default answer.
