Qualify the workflow before you scope the software

The asset is built for operators who already feel the pain but need a clear business case, production slice, and risk list before commissioning a build.

Turn vague pain into build economics

Estimate monthly and annual workflow drag from volume, manual handling time, delay cost, failure risk, and loaded team cost.

See the real production work

The scanner flags system count, API/data readiness, owner clarity, control needs, and whether the first slice is a dashboard, integration, app, or AI workflow.

Package the prospect context

The output gives a copyable brief with score, budget signal, payback proxy, first build slice, risks, and next actions.
