Working in 30 days. Proven in 60.
One workflow, in your team's hands inside a month, then measured against your own baseline with the risk on us.
What a pilot is
One high-value workflow, chosen from your operation:
- the month-end portfolio roll-up a real-estate operator compiles by hand
- daily production and equipment-effectiveness reporting a plant manager builds from spreadsheets
- shipment-exception tracking scattered across a TMS and email
- claims-status reporting a supervisor reconciles weekly
- the enrollment report an administrator assembles each term
Working inside 30 days. One hard 60-day box.
We pick the workflow with you during scoping. It's the one that costs the most manual hours and has a number attached to it. Not the most interesting one. The one that hurts.
The three phases
Baseline
We measure your real numbers before a line of work: hours compiling, days to produce, how stale the data is at decision time.
Working in your hands
We build against your real data, reading from your systems without changing anything in them. By the end of week four your team is using a working version of the workflow, not watching a demo of one.
Hardened and measured
We turn what works into something that scales and keeps running: the edge cases, the exceptions, the weight of daily use. We finish with a measured readout against the week-1 baseline.
The commercials
A pilot runs $10,000 to $50,000.
Where you land depends on the workflow, how many systems we read from, and how much of your operation the first one touches. You'll have the exact number after the scoping call and before you commit to anything. We don't quote before discovery, and we don't publish a price list, because pricing a pilot you can't approve wastes both our time.
A deposit, not a fee.
The full amount credits 100% toward your first-year contract. Continue, and the pilot cost you nothing. You prepaid for a platform you decided to keep.
You pay as we prove it.
40% at kickoff, 30% at the integration milestone, 30% at delivery. Cash goes out as value comes in.
Money back if we miss.
We set 2–3 success criteria with your CFO and COO before anything is built, measured against your week-1 baseline. Miss them and you're refunded. You keep the baseline analysis either way. It's your data about your operation.
Priced to approve, not to escalate.
We'll ask what you can approve without a committee, and size the pilot under it. A deal needing six signatures takes six months, and neither of us learns anything in the meantime.
What happens after the pilot
If you continue, the pilot fee credits in full against your first-year contract. We price that during scoping, against your operation and what the workflow is worth. We don't work from a rate card, because a rate card would either overcharge you or undercharge someone else.
You'll have that number before you commit to the pilot, not after it.
You should never be sixty days in and still guessing what continuing costs. If it doesn't fit your budget, that's a useful thing for both of us to learn in week zero.
What it explicitly does not do
Naming the boundary is the point. A pilot with an open edge isn't a pilot.
- No replacing or migrating your system of record. It stays yours, untouched. We read from it and never write back to it.
- No IT burden beyond letting us read your data once. There is nothing new for an MSP to keep alive.
- No open-ended scope. One workflow, one hard box, one measured result. We don't extend pilots to chase a question that should have been scoped in week zero.
- No accounting. We don't keep a ledger. Your financial system of record stays exactly where it is and does exactly what it does today.
The week-1 baseline
We record your real numbers before we build: hours spent compiling, days to produce the roll-up, how old the data is when leadership sees it. The pilot is judged against those numbers, not our marketing.
The success criteria we agree with your CFO and COO are written against your version of this table. That's what the guarantee is measured on.
Illustrative. A real-estate operator's week-1 numbers look like this. Yours will be different, and we record them before we build anything.
Day 60
A measured readout and a scheduled commercial conversation. No drift.
We put the day-60 numbers next to the week-1 numbers and you decide. If the numbers aren't there, you get your money back and keep the baseline analysis. If they are, we've already agreed what continuing costs, and the pilot fee comes off it.
Straight answers
Is this another system for our MSP to babysit?
No, because you aren't buying a system. You're getting a team that runs one. It sits alongside what you already run, only ever reading from it, and we're the ones maintaining and extending it. There is nothing new for an MSP to keep alive and nothing handed back to staff you'd have to hire.
What access do you need?
Permission to read the systems that hold the workflow's data, granted once. We only ever read. Nothing we do changes, moves, or writes anything back into the systems you run your business on.
What happens to our data if we stop?
It's yours. The clean operating record we build belongs to you and transfers with you, with documentation you can hand to whoever comes next. It isn't locked inside our platform.
What are we actually committing to when we sign the pilot?
The pilot only. Sixty days, a fixed fee, and defined success criteria. There's no auto-renewal, no platform contract attached, and no obligation to continue. If you stop at day 60, you keep the operating record we built and the baseline analysis, and we're done.
Who have you done this for?
We're early, and we don't have a logo wall to show you. Case studies publish as our first cohort converts, in a baseline-to-outcome format, with the week-1 numbers next to the day-60 numbers. Until those exist, the pilot structure is the proof: we measure your baseline before we build, set the criteria with you, and put our fee at risk against them. That's a claim a case study can't fake and a vendor without confidence won't make.
Book a 30-minute scoping call.
We'll identify the workflow and sketch the baseline. If a pilot isn't the right move for you, that's a perfectly good outcome for a first call.
