The Service

 

What We Map

We evaluate every workflow across the functions where repetitive work compounds: marketing, sales, operations, finance, HR, and IT. Not with a survey, with hands-on process analysis, data flow mapping, and interviews with your team leads.

  • Marketing: content, campaigns, lead scoring, reporting
  • Sales: prospecting, CRM hygiene, proposals, follow-ups
  • Operations: data entry, onboarding, vendor management
  • Finance: invoicing, AP/AR, reconciliation, reporting
  • HR: onboarding paperwork, scheduling, policy lookups
  • IT: ticket triage, password resets, deployment chores

How We Work

You walk away with a complete picture of where your team spends time on repetitive work, and a prioritized plan for automating the highest-ROI opportunities first.

  • Week 1: Kickoff & workflow documentation
  • Week 2: Process analysis & team interviews
  • Week 3: ROI modeling & tool recommendations
  • Week 4: Roadmap delivery & leadership walkthrough

Methodology & Assumptions

Savings are calculated based on recaptured hours from automating repetitive tasks. Hourly cost is derived from the fully loaded annual cost divided by 2,080 working hours per year. The automation capture rate represents a conservative estimate of what percentage of identified repetitive work can be effectively automated with current AI tools. Savings projections use a ramped adoption model: Year 1 captures 60%, Year 2 reaches 85%, Year 3 hits 100%. Year 1 costs include audit fee, implementation, and annual tooling. Year 2+ costs include only annual tooling. Actual results may vary based on process complexity, data readiness, and implementation quality.
