A map of your workflow
How work actually moves through your business today, including the informal steps that live in someone's head. Useful for training and hiring long after the call.
Workflow audit
Find out where your week actually goes. In one hour.
A 60-minute conversation about how work really moves through your business. You leave with your biggest time sinks named and a short list of what to fix first — some free, some worth building.
Why start here
Most small businesses know something is inefficient. Far fewer can say which thing, or what it costs. That gap is why software projects go wrong — you end up buying a tool for the problem you can describe instead of the one that's actually expensive.
The audit exists to be skippable. If the answer is a settings change and a $30/mo subscription, you've spent one hour to avoid a project that would have cost far more. That outcome is a success, not a lost sale.
What happens
The hour
-
You walk us through a normal week.
Not a questionnaire. We ask how an order, a booking, or a job actually moves from first contact to getting paid, and who touches it along the way.
-
We map the handoffs.
Every step: what triggers it, who does it, where it waits. The waiting is usually where the time goes, and it's almost never where people expect.
-
We put hours to it.
A step that costs six hours a week is a different decision than one that costs twenty minutes. Without numbers you end up fixing whatever was most annoying last Tuesday.
-
You leave with a short list.
Your biggest time sinks, and what to do about each — some free, some off-the-shelf, some worth building. Written plainly, so you can act on it with or without us.
What you walk away with
One hour, three things
Your biggest time sinks
Named, measured, and ranked by what they cost you per week — so the argument about what to fix first is settled with numbers instead of opinions.
A prioritized fix list
Each fix labeled by effort and cost, including the ones that need no software at all. If nothing needs building, we say so plainly.
Fit
Good fit.Bad fit.
Good fit: you have between two and fifty people, the business works, and growth has made the seams show. You suspect you're paying someone to do something a computer should do, but you don't want to guess your way into a software purchase.
Bad fit: you already know exactly what you want built and have the scope written down. Skip the audit and go straight to a build conversation — paying us to confirm what you already know is a waste of your money.
Questions
Before you ask
How long is the audit?
One hour, on a call or in person. Anything we can't cover in the hour
goes in the follow-up notes.
Do I have to hire you afterward?
No. The list is yours and it's written so another developer could act
on it. The audit is a complete conversation, not a sales call with an
invoice attached.
Who should be on the call?
Whoever actually does the work day to day. Owners know the goals;
the person entering the orders knows where the time goes.
Do you need access to our systems?
No. Screen-sharing what you already use is plenty, and nothing gets
changed during an audit.
Do you work outside Edmonds and Lynnwood?
Yes. In person is easiest for nearby Snohomish and King County
businesses, but the audit works just as well remotely for businesses
whose work already happens on screens.
