Two weeks. One question: where does your team's week really go, and which three workflows would give the most of it back?
Every owner suspects the team is carrying work a machine should do. The Sprint names which work, how many hours it eats, and what to automate first, so automation starts with measurement instead of with whatever tool crossed the desk that month.
Cornerstone automated its own operation first: content production, publishing, financial tracking, lead handling, and reporting, across multiple ventures, on a stack that costs close to nothing to run. The Sprint productizes that method: measure the week, rank the workflows by hours returned, build the first one, hand over the plan for the rest.
Fixed scope, a fixed end date, and a working build before it closes.
Instrumented and observed at the desk where the work happens. Every recurring workflow logged with its real frequency and its real minutes.
Ranked by hours returned per month against the cost and fragility of automating them. Most of what looks automatable fails this test, and the Sprint says so out loud. The honest do-not-bother list is part of the deliverable.
One of the three, automated and working before the engagement ends, so the plan ships with proof instead of promises.
In hours, by workflow, measured rather than estimated.
Ranked by hours returned, with the do-not-bother list alongside it.
Working before the engagement closes, on the stack you already own.
The engagement cannot become a resident consultant. Scope and price are set on the first call, sized to the team.
The engagement ends on its end date, with the plan in your hands. Implementation of the remaining workflows is a separate, optional engagement, priced when the plan exists. Walking away with the plan and building it yourself is a fine outcome, and some clients should choose it.
Built for owner-operated businesses of any format where the owner or a small office team carries recurring administrative work: scheduling, reporting, invoicing, listing management, customer follow-up, content publishing.
