Where the hours go

Most of a small team’s week is typing things from one tool into another.

These are the four places we find the most hours in almost every business we map. Estimates are typical for a team of five to thirty.

TaskHours / week

  1. Lead follow-up

    Form fills, DMs and inbound emails answered by hand, often a day late.

    4–6

  2. Content repurposing

    One long piece manually cut into posts, threads, emails and clips.

    5–8

  3. Reporting

    Numbers copied from four tools into one spreadsheet every Monday.

    2–4

  4. Inbox and ops triage

    Sorting, forwarding, chasing invoices, updating the CRM after every call.

    6–10

Typical total17–28 hours a week

None of it needs a person. All of it needs someone to sit down, map the workflow properly, and build the thing that runs it. That is what we do.

Services

Four things we build. Usually two of them together.

Every engagement starts with the workflow, not the tool. These are the shapes the work tends to take.

  1. 01

    Workflow automation

    The repetitive work between your tools, done by pipelines instead of people. Lead intake, CRM sync, invoicing, onboarding, weekly reports.

    What it looks like

    A new enquiry lands in a form. Within a minute it is enriched, scored, added to the CRM, and the right person has a drafted reply waiting.

    • Webhooks
  2. 02

    Custom AI agents

    Agents scoped to one job and wired into your data: support triage, sales qualification, internal research, document drafting. Text only, no voice bots.

    What it looks like

    An agent reads every incoming ticket, answers the ones it can from your docs, and hands the rest to a human with a summary and a suggested reply.

  3. 03

    Content and outreach systems

    One recording or article becomes a month of posts, threads, emails and clips, in your voice, scheduled and tracked. Outreach that is researched per person, not mail-merged.

    What it looks like

    You publish a 40 minute video. The system produces 12 posts, a newsletter draft and a thread, queues them, and reports what moved.

  4. 04

    Internal tools and dashboards

    When a spreadsheet stops being enough: small web apps, portals and dashboards built on top of the automations, so the whole team can see and steer the system.

    What it looks like

    A dispatch board that shows every open job, who has it, and what the agent already did, with one button to approve or override.

Work

Two systems, with the numbers attached.

We are a young agency and we would rather show two real results than a wall of logos. One is a client build. One is the system we run on ourselves.

Client · software consultancy

10+

hours saved per week

A custom AI agent that took recurring admin off a consultancy's plate.

Problem
A software consultancy was losing hours every week to repetitive admin work that sat between their tools and their client delivery.
Built
A custom AI agent wired into the tools the team already used. It handles the recurring work end to end and passes anything uncertain to a person for approval.
Result
More than ten hours a week handed back to the team, every week.

Our own system · content

55K

impressions on X in 3 months

A content system we run on ourselves before we sell it.

Problem
Posting consistently on X takes hours a week that a small agency does not have, and most automated content reads like automation.
Built
A pipeline that turns our own notes and ideas into posts in our voice, schedules them, and tracks what performs so the next batch is better.
Result
55,000 impressions in the first three months, and a system we now build for clients.

Process

Call, map, build, run. A date and a price before any code.

  1. 0130 minutes

    Call

    You walk us through where the hours go. We tell you honestly what is worth automating and what is not.

  2. 022–3 days

    We document the workflow end to end, name the tools, and send a fixed-scope proposal with a fixed price.

  3. 03Days to a few weeks

    Build

    We build in your accounts, not ours. You see it working on real data before anything goes live.

  4. 04Ongoing, optional

    Handover with documentation and a recorded walkthrough. Keep us on a retainer or run it yourself.

Stack

The tools, named plainly.

No logo wall. This is what we actually reach for, and why. Everything is set up in your accounts so you keep the keys.

How we work

We build what stays.

01

Fixed scope, fixed price.

You know the cost before we start. If the map changes, the price changes in writing, not on an invoice.

02

Boring beats impressive.

We prefer a documented workflow that runs every night to a demo that only works when we are in the room.

03

You own everything.

Built in your accounts, with your credentials, documented so another engineer could take over tomorrow.

FAQ

The questions every first call starts with.

  • A single workflow usually ships within a week of the proposal being signed. A custom agent or an internal tool takes two to four weeks. We give a date in the proposal and hold to it.

Thirty minutes. We tell you what is worth automating.

No pitch deck. You describe a normal week, we point at the hours that can go, and you leave with a map whether or not you hire us.
