Find out what your tools actually do for you.

We go through every subscription, login and workflow in the business. You get a written plan: what to keep, what to cut, what's missing and what it would take to fix.

Who it's for

Owners paying for more tools than they can name, unsure which ones pull their weight. Teams where the same details get typed in more than once. Anyone about to buy new software who wants a second opinion first.

What you get

  • A list of every tool you pay for, who uses it and what it costs a year
  • What to keep, what to cancel and where tools overlap
  • Where work gets typed twice or waits on one person
  • Where AI would help, and where it wouldn't
  • A written plan in plain English, with a fixed quote for anything you want us to build

How it runs

  1. We look

    A short call, then access to the tools you choose. We follow how work moves through the business, start to finish.

  2. We write it up

    One document. Each finding says what it costs you now and what fixing it would take.

  3. You decide

    Do the plan yourself, or hand us any part of it. Either way the plan is yours to keep.
