Software cannot run a process that exists only as an unwritten habit in someone's head. That is why tools get bought and end up half-configured, and why the work stays manual around them.
Most operations have five or six annoyances at once, and they are not equal — one or two cost more than all the rest combined. So the first question is not which tool. It is where the work is actually getting stuck.
Describe one thing that keeps going wrong and we tell you where it breaks and the single change worth making first. It costs nothing, and sometimes the answer is that no new tool is needed at all.
Describe one recurring operational problem in my business, for someone outside the company who will never see our systems. Use what you already know from our previous conversations. In 200-400 words of plain prose, cover: what goes wrong, how often, who touches it from start to finish, what we have already tried, and what it costs when it breaks. Leave out every name of a person, client or company, and every address, link, file path and account number. Say "the estimator" or "the office manager" instead of names. Give it to me as plain text I can copy.
We get no access to your systems. There is no login, no permission to grant and no integration — this page can only ever receive what you type into it. Addresses, links, keys, file paths, phone and account numbers are stripped out automatically before it is sent, and again when it arrives.
