Chapter 5 of 5

Work with us.

Start with an audit and report: no fee, no obligation. Then one focused three-month sprint, built for your team to run.

Start with an audit

What to expect. One route, from first call to handover.

You commit one step at a time. The audit and report cost nothing (see the free AI readiness assessment), the sprint lasts three months, and nothing renews automatically.

  1. Stop 1

    A short call

    Your team

    Tell us where growth feels stuck.

    Our work

    Listen, and tell you plainly whether we can help.

  2. Stop 2

    Share your data

    Your team

    Sign an NDA, then share sample data and the access we need.

    Our work

    Ask only for what the audit needs, and note any access limits.

  3. Stop 3

    The audit and report

    No fee. No obligation.

    3. 3The 2× Plan
    1. 1

      The Growth Engine Map

      Winning the work, keeping customers and delivering it, in one view, from your data.

    2. 2

      Your biggest opportunities

      Where time, revenue and cash are held back.

    3. 3

      The 2× Plan

      What to fix first, and what it is worth.

    Your team

    A few conversations with the people who do the work.

    Our work

    Map your growth engine from your data, model it at 2×, and report your biggest opportunities and the 2× Plan.

  4. Stop 4

    Your decision

    Your team

    Choose the one opportunity to fix first, or stop here.

    Our work

    Price one focused sprint from the evidence, not from guesswork.

  5. Stop 5

    One three-month sprint

    You commit to three months only.
    The sprint on the table: three month cards in a brass tray, the fixes already agreed in front, and a hand holding the card naming the owner.
    1. 1Month 1
    2. 2Month 2
    3. 3Month 3
    1. 1Month 1

      Design the solution

      Pick the opportunity with the biggest payoff, agree the result and set a clear scope.

    2. 2Month 2

      Build and test with your team

      Built inside the systems you already use, tested on your real cases.

    3. 3Month 3

      Launch, train, hand over

      A named owner on your team is trained one-on-one and runs it.

    Your team

    A leader who owns the outcome, and the people who do the work testing it on real cases.

    Our work

    Design it, build it inside the systems you already use, and test it with your team.

  6. Stop 6

    Handover

    Your team

    A named owner, trained one-on-one, runs it from here.

    Our work

    Hand over the rulebook, runbook, code and project history.

  7. Stop 7

    The next sprint, only if you ask

    Nothing renews automatically.
    Your team

    Decide whether there is a next constraint worth fixing.

    Our work

    Start from the next item on the 2× Plan.

Questions leaders ask first.

Will this replace my team?

No. AI agents take on the routine work, so your people spend their time on the decisions only they can make. Approvals and exceptions stay with named people.

Where do you start?

With an audit and report. We review your data, map your growth engine and model it at twice the volume. Then we agree one three-month sprint on the opportunity with the biggest payoff.

Do we need new software?

No. We connect to the systems you already use, such as ServiceTitan, Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks and Microsoft 365, and 1,000+ more.

What happens after three months?

The commitment ends. Your team owns everything we built, and a named owner is trained to run it. Another sprint happens only if you ask.

How is this different from buying an AI tool?

A tool adds capability. We change how the work moves: the definitions, the rules, the owner and the checks. That is what makes it safe to hand work to an AI agent.

What do you need from us?

A leader who owns the outcome, the people who do the work today, and access to the systems involved. We’ll be specific in the first conversation.

Will this help us raise capital?

Investors fund proof, not promises. Fixing the part of your business that breaks first gives you that proof, and lets you raise to scale what already works instead of to fix what doesn’t.

What does it cost?

Scope and budget follow the evidence. After an NDA, we review representative data, the current process, its exceptions and any access limits, then price one focused sprint. Nothing is priced on guesswork.

Who owns what gets built?

It’s designed to run in your own accounts, with your logins and your rules, and documented so your team can run it.

Start with an audit. First, a free AI Quick-Wins Report on growing your revenue and margin.

Give us your website, and we’ll send your AI Quick-Wins Report: the AI quick wins most likely to grow your revenue and raise your margin, ranked by payoff with a first step for each, based on what your competitors are already doing with AI, with every finding linked to its source. It’s the same report our clients start with, and one of us reads every one before it goes to you.

Then, if you want to go further, we review your own data at no fee and show your leadership team what to fix first.

We use your details only to answer this request, and we read only your public website.
