Contact · 30 minutes · free · a founder answers
Thirty minutes. You keep the map either way.
The first call is a free operations audit. You walk us through the workflow that hurts most, we put your own hours and your own hourly rate against it while you watch, and you leave with a map of where the time and the money leak.

Book the audit call
Open the calendar, take a slot, and it is booked. There is no qualification form in front of it and no discovery call before the discovery call.

Email us instead
Two lines about the workflow that hurts is enough to start. We reply with times, or with an honest answer that this is not something we should be building for you.

There is no contact form on this page. A form that posts into a queue nobody reads is worse than an address, so you get the address. Both routes go to a founder, and both get answered by a founder.
Before the call
What to bring.
Three things. Rough is fine. We tighten the numbers together while you are on the call. Not needed: an RFP, a requirements document, a stack preference, a budget figure. We do not bring a slide deck either.
- 01
The workflow that hurts most
One process, not a list. The one your team complains about, or the one that only works because a particular person is in the building. Quoting, ticket triage, scheduling, reconciliation, payouts, onboarding, reporting.
- 02
Roughly what it costs today
Two numbers get us there: hours a week spent on it, and a loaded hourly rate for the people spending them. Round figures are enough.
- 03
Whoever else has to say yes
The person who actually does the work, and the person who signs. Having both on the first call turns three meetings into one.
Response time
We answer ourselves.
We aim to reply within one business day. Some days that is twenty minutes. Inside a build week it can take the whole day, and we would rather write that here than promise an hour and miss it. If the honest answer is that we are not the right two people to build your thing, you get that answer instead of a proposal.
