A quote built on assumptions.
Someone describes their week on a call. The scope gets guessed. The price carries a cushion for everything nobody mentioned. Then the build meets the real business.
The Operations Map · $2,500 · two weeks
See the whole business before you change any of it.
Two weeks. Every handoff drawn. Every task that still waits on you, named, timed, and costed. Then the exact build that takes them off you, sequenced and priced. The map is yours either way.
Credited in full against a Siesie build. Two maps a month, because I run them myself.

of your time, total, across the whole two weeks
Nobody should sign a $25,000 build off a fifteen minute conversation.
Not you, and not me. A scope written from a chat is a number I would have to pad, and a build you would have to hope about. Two weeks of mapping fixes both.
A scope built on evidence.
I watch the real thing for two weeks. The build plan comes out of what actually happens, priced against work I have already seen. Nothing is padded, because nothing is guessed.
You keep the map.
It is written so another provider could build from it, or so you could work through it yourself. If you never hire me, it was still two weeks of someone documenting your operations.
Six documents. All yours, on day fourteen.
Written for you to use. Plain language, and no tool names you have never heard of.
01
The current-state map
How work actually moves through your business today, drawn end to end. Not how it is supposed to move.
02
The owner-dependency register
Every task that still waits on you. What it is, how often it happens, and how many minutes it takes.
03
The cost of waiting
Those minutes, added up per month, at a number you set yourself. Most people read this one twice.
04
The future-state map
The same work, moving, without you standing in the middle of it. And what still reaches you on purpose.
05
The build plan
Sequenced and priced. What to do first, what can wait, and what does not need building at all.
06
The walkthrough
Ninety minutes. I read the map out loud, you interrupt as much as you like, and we change what I have wrong.
What a finished map actually looks like.
Not a slide deck about your business. The numbers, in your own terms, with the build priced against them.
Days 4 to 6 · the register
Every task that waits on you, timed and costed.
Each one named, how often it happens, how many minutes it takes. Then added up per month at a number you set yourself. Most owners have never seen this figure written down.
You correct the map on day seven, before I build the plan on top of it.
Days 8 to 11 · the plan
The build, sequenced and priced from evidence.
What to do first, what can wait, and what does not need building at all. Priced against work I have already watched for two weeks, so nothing carries a cushion for the unknown.
If the plan says do nothing, I refund the map and you keep it.
Fourteen days. You will know what is happening on every one of them.
A short written update lands each Friday, whether or not there is news. Going quiet is how consultants lose people, so I do not.
Week one
I watch the real thing, then draw it.
Kickoff is ninety minutes and you mostly talk. Then I observe the inbox, the calendar, the invoices and the group chat, and the map gets drawn from what is actually there.

Week two
Then the plan, and the documents are yours.
The future state, the build plan sequenced and priced, checked against the same testing standard every build has to pass. Then ninety minutes reading it out loud with you.

What it costs you in time
Under four hours, across two weeks.
Ninety minutes at kickoff, thirty at the review, ninety at the walkthrough. Everything in between is my work, not yours. You do not stop running the business to do this.
What I need from you
The real process, messy version.
Read access to how work actually moves, honest answers about what keeps landing back on you, and permission to see the messy version. The map is only as good as what you let me look at.
$2,500. And two ways it costs you nothing.
This is a diagnostic you keep. It is built to be worth the money on its own.
The full $2,500 comes off.
Siesie is $25,000. With the map done first, the build is $22,500. So the choice is not the map or the build. It is whether you want to be certain before the big decision.
I refund the map in full.
If I finish the two weeks and conclude a Siesie build is wrong for you, I say so at the walkthrough, refund the $2,500, and you keep all six documents. I would rather return the fee than sell you a build you do not need.
Nothing further is owed.
No retainer, no follow-on, no automatic anything. The map is finished work, handed over. What you do next is your business.
Two maps a month. I run each one myself, and two weeks of watching a business closely is not something I can do four times over.
The map is right when the business has outgrown one person's memory.
Established, work that repeats, and a process you could explain if someone sat still long enough to write it down.
Four or five roles still come back to you.
Scheduling, money, coordination, account details, reporting. The work moves, but only when you push it.
One handoff causes most of the interruptions.
Then document that handoff and keep your $2,500. The five-role check on the Siesie page will tell you which one it is, free, in about a minute.
It is inquiries, not operations.
If calls and messages are what fall through, the front desk is the fix and it starts at $555. That is SynKasa, and it is a much smaller decision.
Questions owners ask before they start.
Q1
Why not just do the free check?
Do that first. It takes a minute and it will tell you which role costs you most. The map is for when you already know it is more than one, and you need the whole picture before spending twenty-five thousand.
Q2
Do I have to build afterwards?
No. Nothing about the map assumes you will. It is written to stand on its own, and it is written so another provider could build from it.
Q3
Will you disrupt how we work for two weeks?
Under four hours of your time, total. The observation is watching, not interviewing. Your week does not change.
Q4
Who else sees it?
Nobody. Every document is marked confidential to your business, and nothing about your operations leaves it.
Q5
What if the map says do nothing?
Then it says that, and I refund it. A map that talks you out of a build you did not need has done its job.
The Operations Map · $2,500 · two weeks
Get certain first.
The application takes about ten minutes and asks how work actually moves through your business. I read it before we speak, so the call is a conversation and not a questionnaire.
