You said: “My team is buried in busywork.” Here's how we find where the hours go.
Your back office is leaking hours. In one week, I'll show you exactly where.
A fixed-price diagnostic for businesses that run on spreadsheets, inboxes, and data typed in twice. I find the three biggest time and money leaks in how work moves through your business and hand you a ranked plan to close them: what to fix, and what it's worth.

If the audit doesn't surface savings worth more than its cost, you don't pay.
If your team runs the operation out of a spreadsheet and a group text, you're paying for it twice.
The schedule lives in someone's head
Jobs, orders, or shifts get assigned by the one person who “just knows.” When they're out, work slows down and nobody can cover.
AR follow-up happens when someone remembers
Invoices age past 60 days because chasing them is manual, so cash sits on the street that should be in your account.
The system and reality disagree
What the software says never quite matches what's on the shelf, on the truck, or on the job, so every check turns into a reconciliation project.
The same data gets re-keyed three times
Quote → job or order system → accounting, typed by hand at each hop. Every keystroke is a chance for an error you'll find later.
Count how many of these four sound like your week. Bring that number to the call: it's where the audit starts.
Five days. One real answer: where's the bottleneck, and what's it costing you.
The wrong question is "what can AI do for us?" The right one is "what's actually slowing us down?" Here's how I find it, without slowing your team down.
Sit with the operation
I walk the path work takes through your business, from the first call or order to the paid invoice, with the people who run it. Where does work pile up, get re-typed, or wait on one person? I'm naming the constraint, not theorizing.
Quantify the leaks
I put hours and dollars against the top three: what each is costing in payroll, delayed cash, and errors — and what it would take to fix each one.
Hand off the plan
You get a prioritized build roadmap, ranked by ROI, with effort and rough cost for each. Yours to keep and act on — whether you build it with me or not.
Not ready to book? Put a number on the problem with the automation ROI calculator, or do a first pass yourself: how to find the bottlenecks in your business, then what to automate first.
A document your operations lead could act on Monday morning.
Fixed price. Fixed scope. No open-ended consulting.
What's included: on-site or remote operational review, the full bottleneck map, the quantified leak analysis, the prioritized roadmap, and the live walkthrough.
If you decide to build: the audit fee is credited toward the first build engagement. You're never paying twice for the same thinking. What a build or ongoing engineering typically runs after that is in what AI automation actually costs.
Measured results from production systems running inside real operations.
Cut every week across three finance analysts by automating the reporting they used to build by hand.
The nine-brand automation case study →Cut in release effort at a mid-market reverse logistics-tech company through automated pipelines and hardened backend services.
Live internal users supported by an MCP server and agent system built for inventory and truckload orchestration.
The MCP server case study →The work I'm proudest of is the kind where, six months later, a team can't remember how they operated before.
Each number comes from a build written up in the case studies: the problem, what I built, and what changed.
Built for mid-market operators — not the Fortune 500, not a two-person shop.
A fit if you're…
- An established business doing roughly $3M–$50M, in any industry
- Running real volume on manual or spreadsheet-driven workflows
- Feeling the squeeze: more work, same headcount, no room to hire
- An owner or ops lead who can act on a plan once you have one
Not a fit if…
- You already have an internal engineering team solving this
- You want a tool recommendation, not a look at your actual process
- You're pre-revenue or just exploring “AI” with no real bottleneck yet
- You want a year-long retainer — this is deliberately scoped to a week
Run a smaller business? Start with one prebuilt agent at a fixed monthly price instead.
Start smaller
Where's the busywork? One hour, $300, credited in full.
Before a week-long audit: one hour on a call with you and whoever runs the spreadsheets. We walk the way work moves through your business, name the leak worth fixing first, and you leave with a written list of what to fix, in order. Yours to act on with anyone.
The $300 is invoiced before the hour and comes off the $4,500 operations audit or an agent's first month in full. Book the 15-minute call first: it sets the hour and the invoice.
The 15-minute call itself is free.
A note from Nick
From one operator to another.
If the work keeps outgrowing your team, your team is doing something right. The busywork grew with it, and that part can be fixed.
Before I wrote code, I built a sales company with 120+ reps on contract and 77 consistent producers. It taught me that a system only pays off when the people doing the work actually use it, so I build for the person who runs it every day, not for the demo.
We start by asking your team for their advice: where the week really goes, and what they'd fix first. The plan comes out of their answers, so it's already theirs when it ships.

A leak you don't fix this quarter gets paid for again next quarter.
If you're done leaving it on the table, let's find the leak.
No pitch, no hype. Fifteen minutes to confirm there's a real bottleneck worth a week of work — then we book the audit.
