An automation agency that measures before it builds.
Most agencies are paid by the automation: a monthly retainer, a count of workflows shipped, and no number for what any of it saved. We start by measuring where the time goes, automate the few places where it is worth it, and hand the result over.

The standard agency model is a retainer measured in output: so many workflows built per month, a dashboard of everything running, a contract that renews. The metric is how much was built — not how much time or money came back.
That incentive produces automations nobody asked for, in processes that were never the expensive ones. The work looks busy and the invoice is justified, but the question “what did this save, and for whom?” has no answer, because it was never measured.
First a number, then a build.
Every engagement here starts from a measurement, not a toolkit. The diagnostic takes two to three weeks: we map the workflow, tie every lost hour to a named person and a step in their day, and put a value on it. Only then does anyone decide what to automate.
The result is that the builds which follow are few and deliberate. One automation that returns an hour a day to one person beats ten that demo well, and the document tells you which one that is before any build begins.
Fixed scope, named deliverables.
Each service has its length, scope and output written down before it begins. There is no monthly minimum and no automation quota.
Diagnose · 2–3 weeks
The measurement. A document with numbers about your business — where the time goes, whose it is, what it is worth — usable with us or with anyone else.
Design · 1 week
The decision on what to automate, what to buy, and in what order — ranked by feasibility and impact.
Deliver Sprint · 2–4 weeks
One or two specific automations, built, handed over and trained on. For teams whose diagnosis and design are already done.
Pilot · 6 weeks
The full loop on a single process, against a success criterion written down before the work starts.
Built on what you already pay for.
We do not resell licences or a proprietary automation stack, so the recommendation of what to build on is not tied to our revenue. Often the right answer is a subscription you already hold — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another provider — with the automation built on top and your team trained on what was built.
Where the diagnostic points to a platform, the work can be delivered on Integral — hosted by us, or entirely on your own servers. After handover the system is yours: documented, transferred, and not dependent on a retainer to keep running.
Three situations where this makes sense.
You are comparing agencies
Ask each one what their deliverable is measured in. If the answer is a count of automations rather than hours returned, you now know the difference.
You have a retainer and no numbers
Things get built every month, but nobody can say what any of it saved. The diagnostic puts a number on the process — including the automations already running.
You know the process, not the tool
You can point at the work that eats the hours but not at what should replace it. That is the design decision, and it takes a week.
Frequently asked.
- Are you an agency or a consultancy?
- A studio, which sits between the two. Like an agency, we build and ship working automations, not only recommendations. Like a consultancy, the build is preceded by a measured diagnostic and the engagement has a fixed scope and a known end — there is no monthly automation quota.
- Do you work on a monthly retainer?
- Not as the primary model. Diagnose, Design, Pilot and the Delivery Sprint are all fixed-scope with an agreed end date. A monthly retainer exists as an option after delivery — a strategy call, minor adjustments, priority support — and you take it only if you want it.
- What tools do you build the automations with?
- Whatever the diagnostic supports. Often that is the AI subscription you already hold — Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini — with automation built on top. Where a platform is warranted, we deploy Integral, hosted by us or on your own servers. We do not resell licences, so the choice is not predetermined.
- What happens to the automations after handover?
- They are yours. Delivery includes documentation and training for the people who will run them, so the system does not depend on us to keep working. Ongoing support exists as an optional retainer, not as a requirement.
- Can you take over automations another agency built?
- Yes — that starts with the diagnostic, which measures what is already running alongside the rest of the process. Some of it may be worth keeping, some rebuilding, and some retiring; the document says which, with the numbers behind each call.
- What if automation is the wrong answer for our process?
- Then the document will say so. Sometimes the right answer is a simpler process change, a different integration, or no change at all. You are paying for the measurement, not for a predetermined conclusion that ends in a build.
Start here
Measured first, built second.
On a thirty-minute call we go through where you think the time is going and what is already automated. From that we propose a scope — usually the diagnostic, or a Delivery Sprint if the analysis is already done. The document that comes out of it stays with you whatever you decide next.
