We automate and only charge 20% of what it used to cost.

We build the system that replaces one manual process, then price it against what that process costs you today: 20% of the manual cost, charged per item, and only once you confirm it works. You keep the other 80%.

What we build

Four things, built from scratch and owned by you.

Every engagement starts with the same question: what does this process cost you to run by hand today. The answer decides which of these is worth doing, and sometimes the answer is none of them.

Before and after

The same process, twice.

Same steps, same order, same result. One of them costs you a person's afternoon. Hover to swap.

Pricing

You only pay out of what you save.

We measure what one repetitive process costs to run manually, in hours and pounds, and agree that figure in writing before anything is built. The system is then built and charged at 20% of the measured cost per item processed. The upfront cost is set against the size of the build. Nothing further is invoiced until the system is live, and it goes live only on your approval.

What one manual process costs your team, per item£12.00
What we charge per item, once it's live£2.40
What you keep, per item£9.60
An illustration with round numbers. Your figure is measured from your business, not assumed — and the report is yours whether or not you go ahead.

Minimal upfront

A small starting cost, scaled to the size of the build and agreed with you before any work begins — then nothing more until it's live. If we never get it working to your standard, it never goes live and you never pay to run it.

One call required

Approximately 45 minutes to walk through the process. After that the work proceeds from your existing systems and documentation, with no further time required from your team.

No change to daily operations

The system writes into the software you already use. During the testing period your team continues working exactly as they do now.

Rolling monthly term

Thirty days' notice, with no minimum term and no exit fee.

Method

The system is tested against your team before it handles live work.

Every build is tested in four stages before it processes any live work. Each stage is gated on your approval. The method is set out in full below.

PART 01

Tested on old work

We run it against cases you've already handled, where you already know the right answer.

PART 02

It watches quietly

It works beside your team on live jobs, deciding silently. Nobody acts on it. Nothing changes for them.

PART 03

You compare

A simple screen shows where it agreed with your team and where it didn't, in plain numbers.

PART 04

You switch it on

It goes live in writing, on your say-so — and that's when per-item billing starts, not before.

THE GUARANTEEIf it never reaches the standard you set, it never goes live.

Results

Measured results from delivered work.

Every system below has been built. Where one is not yet running on live client work, it is labelled as such.

Property data · live

Property-sourcing platform rebuild

Replaced an expensive third-party scraping service with a purpose-built system. Structured logging then exposed that over half the daily work was being silently abandoned — and that one dead link had been burning the monthly software budget for months.

Self-optimising message selection

Reallocates sending toward whatever earns genuine human replies, and scores engagement by speed so inbox scanners count for nothing.

Product demand analysis from public discussion

Reads what buyers already say about a product on Reddit and Quora, classifies every post for sentiment, and scores that against ten other public sources so a seller can judge real demand before spending on ads.

Early client terms

Additional terms for the first clients.

Builds are taken one at a time, as a single engineer delivers the work. The first clients receive the following in addition to the standard terms.

  • Your 20% rate locked for life, whatever happens to pricing later
  • A second process measured free — you keep that report either way
  • Twelve months of rule changes included as your business shifts
  • Priority slot — your build starts within two weeks of the call

One build at a time. When the current slot is taken, the next becomes available the following month. The initial call is free of charge and the cost analysis is yours regardless of whether you proceed.

Common questions

What people ask before the first call.

If your question is not here, the assistant at the bottom right will answer it, or you can ask on the call.

What does automation cost, and how is the price worked out?

There is a small upfront cost, scaled to the size of the build and agreed before any work starts. After that the fee is 20% of what the process costs you to run manually, charged per item processed, with a minimum of £250 a month. The manual cost is measured first and signed off by both sides in writing, so the percentage is applied to a number you have already agreed. Why per item rather than a day rate.

How long before the system is doing real work?

The audit takes one call of roughly 45 minutes plus the measurement work afterwards. A typical build runs a few weeks, then the system sits in shadow mode alongside your team for as long as you want before it makes a single real decision. You pay nothing while it is running in shadow mode.

What happens if the process turns out not to be worth automating?

We tell you, and that is a legitimate outcome of the audit rather than a failure of it. You keep the cost report either way. Automating a process that costs you very little is how people end up paying more for the system than the job it replaced.

Which processes are worth automating first?

High volume, repetitive, rule-based work where the same decision is made many times a day against written criteria. Claims and application assessment, document and email handling, quotes and pricing, and moving information between systems that have no integration. Judgement-heavy work with few repetitions is usually the wrong place to start. Work out which process to measure.

Who owns the system and the code once it is built?

You do. The source code, the hosting accounts and every credential the system uses are in your name from the start. There is no licence, no platform fee and nothing that stops you taking the system to another engineer. The full answer.

What happens if the automation gets something wrong?

Nothing goes live until it has run in shadow mode on real work, making no real decisions, so you can compare its judgement against your team's before it is switched on. Once live, every decision is logged with the rule that produced it, and anything falling outside the rules is passed to a person rather than guessed at. How shadow mode works.

Do you work with businesses that have no technical team?

Yes, and most of the work is with businesses that have none. The system writes into the software you already use, so your team carries on working exactly as they do now. You deal directly with the engineer who builds it, with no account managers and no hand-off to somebody junior after signing.

How do you prove the saving is real?

The manual cost is measured and agreed in writing before anything is built, so there is a baseline to compare against rather than an estimate produced afterwards. The system then counts what it processes, and the invoice is calculated from that count. How the measurement is done.
