30-Day Risk-Free Outcome-Backed Pilot
Zero risk. Fix one business bottleneck and prove measurable results. Fixed scope. SMB-friendly.

What This Is

Most small and mid-sized businesses do not need a big digital transformation. They need one bottleneck removed, one process simplified, and one outcome improved.

The 30-Day Risk-Free Outcome Pilot is a focused engagement to improve one measurable KPI by delivering a working solution using workflow automation and analytics first, and AI only when it clearly adds value. You pay only if we hit the agreed success threshold.

Common Problems We Fix
If any of these sound familiar, this pilot is a strong fit.
  • Late payments and slow invoicing follow-up
  • Leads not contacted quickly enough
  • Manual spreadsheet processes that waste hours every week
  • Slow customer response times and overloaded inboxes
  • Scheduling and fulfillment inefficiencies
  • Automation First
  • Outcome Based
  • Fixed Scope
  • Measurable KPI
What You Get in 30 Days
By day 30, you will have a working solution plus proof of impact.
  • A simple map of your current workflow and where time or money is leaking
  • A KPI baseline using recent historical data
  • A live solution
  • A results view (dashboard or metric readout)
  • Documentation and training so your team can run it
The Guarantee
If there is no measurable improvement against the agreed KPI then you do not pay anything.

This is not an open-ended consulting engagement. It is a fixed-scope pilot designed to produce a fast win.

Step 1: Discovery Sprint
A short, no-charge sprint to confirm scope and feasibility.
  • Define the KPI and success threshold
  • Set the baseline and measurement method
  • Confirm data sources and system access
  • Finalize the delivery plan and timeline
  • 1 to 2 Weeks
  • No Charge
Step 2: 30-Day Outcome Pilot
We implement, run, measure results, and train your team.
  • Build the solution targeting one bottleneck
  • Go live in a pilot environment
  • Track results against the baseline
  • Document with training
  • 30 Days
  • One KPI
  • One Outcome
SMB Friendly Pricing Options
Choose the model that fits your budget and how you want to operate.

Subscription Option

Budget friendly monthly option for ongoing use, hosting (if needed), monitoring, and light improvements.

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Ongoing support included
  • Best for teams that want minimal internal burden

Buyout to Own

One-time option to own the solution and run it internally, with optional support.

  • Fractional
  • Tactical
  • Outcome Focused
  • Budget Conscious
Ready to Fix One Bottleneck in 30 Days
If you can name the problem and identify where the data lives (CRM, accounting, ticketing, scheduling, or spreadsheets), we can scope a pilot quickly.
Guarantee Checklist
To keep the guarantee real, the pilot works best when these are true:
  • The KPI is measurable using available data (or a straightforward export).
  • The baseline window is defined (for example, the last 4 to 8 weeks) and we agree on the source of truth.
  • The success threshold is explicit (an absolute number or percent), not “it feels better.”
  • A pilot group will use the process change during the pilot window so results can be measured fairly.
  • Access and inputs are ready: timely decisions and responses, system access, and data that is usable and consumable.
  • The goal is measurable improvement, not experimentation. If you want exploration, we can propose a separate discovery-style engagement.
If any of these show up, we will flag it early and give you a simple path forward:
  • Delays in decisions, responses, or access → We extend the timeline or pause until unblocked.
  • Missing data or non-consumable exports → We pivot to a Data and Integration Cleanup Sprint first.
  • Changes to the agreed scope → We re-scope into a follow-on sprint so the pilot stays measurable.
  • Lack of adoption by the agreed pilot users → We extend the measurement window or shift to enablement.
