The assessment

Thirty minutes, one workflow, the constraint named.

It is free, and it is not a demo. You bring the work that costs you most; we trace it end to end, say which single thing is setting its pace, and put a number on what that is costing.

The shape of it

What you are actually agreeing to.

30
minutesHeld to it. If we run out of workflow before we run out of clock, we end early.

slidesThere is no deck. We open with your workflow and spend the time inside it.

These describe how the call is run, not what it will find. Nothing on this page is a claimed result — we have not met your workflow yet.

The thirty minutes

Where the time actually goes.

Published because the category deserves the suspicion. A call that will not tell you in advance how it spends your half hour is usually spending it on itself.

  1. 0–5
    What you brought, in your wordsYou describe the workflow that costs you most — the quote that takes three days to go out, the payroll week that eats Thursday night, the inbox nobody owns. No qualifying questions about budget or headcount first.
  2. 5–20
    We trace it, step by stepTrigger to done: who touches it, which systems it crosses, where the same information gets retyped, and which decisions escalate to you. This is the part that is actual work, and it is the part most people have never sat down and done out loud.
  3. 20–27
    We name the constraint and size itOne thing is setting the pace of that workflow. We say which one, and we put a rough number on what it is costing — hours per week at the rate of the people spending them, plus the work you cannot take because of it. Rough, stated as rough, and shown as arithmetic rather than asserted.
  4. 27–30
    What we would look at first — and whether that is usThe next thing worth doing, whether or not it involves us. Sometimes it is a process change and no software. Sometimes it is a tool you already pay for. If it is a build, we say what the Strategy Process would cover and you decide later, off the call.

What you leave with

A named constraint, and the arithmetic under it.

Not a proposal, and not a recording of us talking. Four things, and you keep them whether or not you ever buy anything.

The workflow, traced
Trigger to done, in the order people actually follow — including the handoffs and the re-entry nobody had written down.
One constraint, named
The single step setting the pace. Not a list of everything that could be better.
A number, with its assumptions
What that step costs per year, shown as arithmetic — so you can argue with the inputs instead of the conclusion.
The next thing worth doing
Including when it is a process change, a tool you already pay for, or nothing at all this quarter.

If a full diagnosis is warranted, that is the Strategy Process — $2,000 over 10–14 days, credited to the first build it leads to. It is a decision for afterwards, not something this call exists to sell.

Objections

The reasons people do not book it.

Is this a sales call with a different name?
It is a working call — you leave with the trace of your workflow and a named constraint whether or not you ever buy anything. What makes that credible is not a promise: it is that thirty minutes is too short to both do the work and pitch you, so we picked the work.
I do not know which workflow to bring.
Bring the one you would most like to stop doing personally. If you would rather arrive with it already traced, the Operational Leverage Map walks you through the same trace on your own, free, and you can bring the output.
We already tried AI and it did not stick.
That is the common case, and it is usually the same failure: the tool got bolted onto a workflow nobody had mapped, so it automated the part that was not the constraint. Bring the attempt that failed — it is a fast half hour, because you already know where it broke.
What if we are not a fit?
Then we say so on the call and tell you what we would do instead. We are a poor fit for companies looking for a tool recommendation, and for problems where the constraint is a hiring or pricing decision rather than an operating one.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No. It helps if you can roughly answer how many times a week the workflow runs and how many hours it eats, but rough is genuinely fine — we do the arithmetic on the call and mark the assumptions.
What happens afterwards?
Nothing automatic. If the constraint is worth a full diagnosis, the Strategy Process is $2,000 over 10–14 days and the fee is credited to the first build it leads to. If it is not, we will tell you that, and the call was still worth your half hour.

Bring the workflow that costs you most.

Half an hour, no fee, and you leave knowing which single thing is setting the pace — and what it is worth to change it.
