ROI Assessment
In two weeks you get a written report: where your technology spend leaks money or time, which processes to automate first, and the expected return for each. You keep it whether or not you work with us again.
- Price
- $2,500Fixed. No hourly billing. Free if we find less than $10,000 a year.
- Timeline
- 2 weeks10 business days from kickoff to readout
- Deliverable
- Written reportYours to keep and use with anyone.
If we don't find at least $10,000 a year you can get back, you don't pay.
What you get
One report. Five parts.
Plain language, real numbers, and the reasoning behind them. No slide deck.
Tech spend map
Every tool and subscription you pay for, what it costs per year, and who uses it. Overlapping tools and unused seats are marked.
Time leaks
The manual steps in up to 5 of your core processes: re-keying, copy and paste, chasing approvals, building reports by hand. Each one sized in hours per month and dollars per year.
Ranked automation shortlist
The processes worth automating first. Each has an estimated cost to build, expected annual return, payback period, and the main risk. The assumptions are shown so you can check the math. Here is how to check the ROI math yourself.
Security risk shortlist
The security gaps we find in the tools and processes we review: shared passwords, accounts former staff can still use, missing backups, no two-factor login. Each one ranked by what it could cost the business, with the fix and a rough cost. A review, not a penetration test.
90-day plan
What to do first, what to buy instead of build, and what to leave alone. Written so any competent team can act on it, including your own.
What it costs
$2,500. Or nothing, if we come up short.
One fee for the full assessment. No hourly billing, no follow-on invoice, and no obligation to buy anything else. If we don't find at least $10,000 a year you can get back, you don't pay. You still keep the report.
The $10,000 floor
How we count it: hours your team spends on work we show can be automated or dropped, times what those hours cost you, plus software spend you can cancel. Per year, with every assumption written down.
Fee credit
Start build work with us within 60 days of the readout and the $2,500 is credited against it.

How it works
Kickoff to readout in 2 weeks.
- Before kickoff
Fit call
A 20-minute call to confirm the assessment fits your situation. If it does not, we say so and nothing is billed.
- Day 1
Kickoff
One hour. We agree which processes to look at and you send us a list of the software you pay for, with recent invoices or card statements.
- Week 1
Review and interviews
We go through the spend and talk to up to 5 people who do the work, 30 minutes each. We map how each process runs today, not how it is supposed to run.
- Week 2
Sizing and report
We put hours and dollars on each leak, estimate what a fix would cost, and rank the options by return.
- Day 10
Readout
One hour with your team. We walk through the report and answer questions. The report is yours.
Fit
Who it is for. Who it is not for.
A good fit
- You own or run a business and sign off on what it spends on technology
- Work moves through spreadsheets, email, and retyping between systems
- You suspect you pay for tools nobody uses, but have not had time to check
- You want numbers before you commit to a larger project
- You can give us about four hours of your time and access to up to 5 people
Not a fit
- You want a free quote for a project you have already scoped. Use the contact form instead
- You need a penetration test or a compliance audit. That is separate security work
- You want support for a decision that is already made
- You cannot share software invoices or let us talk to the people doing the work
- You need a review across many divisions. That is larger than this scope
Questions
Straight answers.
- How do I pay?
- No payment is taken on this site. After the fit call we send a short agreement. The invoice goes out at the readout, once you've seen the number. If it's under $10,000 a year, there is no invoice.
- Do we have to hire you to build what you recommend?
- No. The report stands on its own. If you do start build work with us within 60 days of the readout, the $2,500 is credited against it.
- Do you need access to our systems?
- No. Invoices, exports, and screen shares are enough. We do not ask for admin credentials.
- Is the expected return a guarantee?
- Two different things. The return on each fix is an estimate. We show the assumptions so you can test them against what you know about your business, and we can't promise what happens after you build. What we do guarantee is the floor: if the report doesn't find at least $10,000 a year you can get back, you don't pay. How we count it: hours your team spends on work we show can be automated or dropped, times what those hours cost you, plus software spend you can cancel. Per year, with every assumption written down.
- What if you find less than $10,000 a year?
- Then you don't pay. You still get the full report and the readout, and no invoice is due. We add up the hours we can show you getting back, times what those hours cost you, plus the software you can cancel, per year. The math is in the report. We do not pad the list to reach the number. Knowing what to leave alone is a useful result too.
