01Manual Work X-Ray

Find the bottleneck. Build the first assistant. Improve the operating system.

We help operators find the manual work slowing the business down, then turn one repeatable lane into a reliable workflow assistant with guardrails, human approval, and ongoing improvement.

02How it works

The method

This is not AI chaos. One workflow lane, clear assistant identity, human approval where it matters, and practical improvement after real use.

01X-Ray

Find the leaking manual work.

02Map

Document steps, decisions, and handoffs.

03Define

Clarify role, tools, boundaries, escalation.

04Build

Create the first workflow assistant.

05Review

Keep human approval where it matters.

06Improve

Tune until the savings stick.

No wasted assessment

The X-Ray should create clarity, not risk.

If the Manual Work X-Ray does not uncover a realistic 5+ hours/week savings opportunity, you should not feel stuck paying for a vague AI brainstorm.

  • If we find a real bottleneck: you get the workflow map, assistant plan, and implementation path.
  • If we do not find enough leverage: we refund or credit the X-Ray instead of forcing a project.
  • Either way: you leave with 1–2 practical workflow tools your team can use immediately.
03Economic case

The X-Ray starts with the cost of the bottleneck.

Before recommending a build, we estimate whether the manual work is expensive enough to justify fixing.

Simple ROI math
weekly hours lost × 52 × loaded hourly value

This keeps the conversation grounded in time, cost, avoided hiring, error reduction, and owner/operator leverage, not AI hype.

5 hrs/week × $50/hr≈ $13K/yr
10 hrs/week × $100/hr≈ $52K/yr
20 hrs/week × $100/hr≈ $104K/yr

Decision rule: the $1K X-Ray is worth considering when a 5+ hrs/week savings opportunity likely exists. The $5K/mo partnership fits when the bottleneck is roughly $50K+/year, owner-time sensitive, revenue-impacting, error-prone, or avoids hiring/rework.

04Engagement

Choose the level of partnership

Start with a diagnostic, then continue into a monthly implementation partnership if the leverage is clear.

Diagnostic

Manual Work X-Ray

$1K

One-time assessment

  • Workflow map
  • Opportunity list
  • Agent Identity Canvas
  • Implementation plan

Best when you know manual work is painful but need clarity on what to fix first.

Premium

AI Operations Partner

$10K/mo

3-month minimum recommended

  • Multiple workflow lanes
  • Manager dashboard
  • Priority support
  • Governance + training

Best when manual work is expensive across the business and needs ongoing ownership.

Why monthly?

This is an implementation partnership, not a chatbot subscription. Manual work changes, adoption needs support, outputs need tuning, and new bottlenecks appear after the first lane improves.

What happens after 3 months?

You can continue the partnership, step down to maintenance, or take ownership of the documented workflow. The goal is not lock-in; the goal is durable time savings with clear handoff options.
