Operating Snapshot: Price One Workflow in Five Days

One workflow. One number. One recommendation. The smallest piece of paid work that still changes a decision — and the fastest way to find out whether we're worth more of your money.

What is the Operating Snapshot?

A fixed-scope 5 business days engagement for CAD $950. We take one workflow you already suspect is expensive, trace how it actually runs, put a defensible monthly cost on the friction inside it, and tell you whether to redesign it, automate part of it, or leave it alone. No discovery phase, no proposal cycle, no slide narrative.

What you receive

Four things, all of them yours to keep.

  • One workflow mapped end to end, with every handoff and wait state named
  • One number: what that workflow costs you per month in time, rework, or lost revenue
  • One recommendation: redesign it, automate part of it, or leave it alone — with the reasoning
  • A two-page written read-out you can forward without editing

How the week runs

Five days, start to read-out.

  1. Day 1

    Working session. We pick the single workflow worth pricing and agree what “done” looks like for it.

  2. Days 2–3

    We trace the real path: handoffs, wait states, rework loops, and where the work leaves and re-enters your systems. Two short follow-ups with the people who actually run it.

  3. Day 4

    We put a defensible monthly cost on the friction, using your volumes and your rates — not benchmarks.

  4. Day 5

    Read-out. You get the map, the number, the recommendation, and an honest read on whether anything bigger is warranted.

What we need from you

  • One 60-minute working session with the person who owns the workflow
  • Two shorter follow-ups with whoever executes it day to day
  • Read-only access to the tools the work moves through, or screenshots if access is slow

Scope commitment

CAD $950, fixed, agreed in writing before work starts. If the first working session shows the workflow you picked isn't where the money is going, we say so, stop, and you aren't invoiced.

Fit

Who this is for — and who it isn't.

Good fit

  • You already suspect which workflow is expensive and want a number you can defend
  • A decision is waiting on evidence — build, buy, hire, or redesign
  • You want to test how we work before committing to a larger engagement
  • 20–500 person B2B software or tech-enabled services company

Not a fit

  • The constraint is unknown and could be anywhere — start with the Diagnostic
  • You need implementation capacity rather than a decision
  • Nobody internally owns the workflow or can attend the sessions
  • You want a guaranteed savings percentage before any baseline exists

Questions people ask first

How is the Operating Snapshot different from the Operating Diagnostic?

The Snapshot prices one workflow in five business days. The Diagnostic reads an entire operating system — workflows, revenue loops, and repeated decisions — over 7 to 14 days and produces a ranked friction ledger, a scored AI opportunity shortlist, and a 90-day plan. Start with the Snapshot when you already suspect which workflow hurts and want a number you can defend. Start with the Diagnostic when you don't yet know where the constraint lives.

What does it cost, and what if it isn't worth doing?

CAD $950, fixed, agreed in writing before work starts. If the first working session shows the workflow you picked isn't where your money is going, we say so, stop, and you aren't invoiced.

Will you recommend AI?

Only where it earns its place. Most workflow cost sits in handoffs, unclear ownership, and rework — problems that redesign fixes more cheaply than tooling. When AI is genuinely the right instrument, the recommendation says what to build, what it should replace, and how you'd know it worked.

Who runs it?

Aiden Wayne, founder-led, start to finish. No junior handoff and no delivery team you haven't met.
