Rapid Scan · for manufacturers

The hardest part of AI transformation isn't the AI.

It's the data on paper, in spreadsheets, and in systems that disagree. We test a job your team does by hand on your real data. Within 10 business days of getting your data, you know whether AI pays for itself, or exactly what to fix first.

01What you get

One verdict on your own data.

We test each job on the exports you send us. Every job gets one of four verdicts, with a number attached.

It fits. We can build it now.
It fits after a small fix. We tell you the fix and its cost.
Your data needs work first. You get a readiness plan.
Buy a product instead. If one does it better, we say so.

02Find your job

What is one job worth to you?

Pick a job your team does by hand and move the sliders to match your company. We start every number at the low end of published figures, so your real number is likely higher. The Scan measures it.

03What happens next

We start with your numbers.

    Your numbers, checkedWe go through the job you picked and how your team does it today, using the same math as the sliders above.
  2. 02
    An honest answerIf it fits, we show you what the Scan would test and what it's likely worth. If it doesn't fit, we say so and point you to what would.
  3. 03
    A decision before we hang upIf you want to go ahead, you get the Scan agreement to sign ($5,000, credited toward the build) and our data checklist. If someone else signs off, we book 15 minutes with them.

After the call you get a one-page summary for each job we discussed, and our data handling sheet so your IT can review it before any data moves.

04How it works

Scan, build, run. One step at a time.

You always know the next step and what it costs before you take it.

Step 1 · 3 to 5 weeks

Scan

We test 1 to 3 jobs on data you export for us, and give each one a verdict with a number.

Step 2 · weeks, not months

Build

We build it on your systems. A person approves its work before anything is saved, and we train your staff on their real work.

Step 3 · ongoing

Run

Keep it running, keep it protected, or keep it growing. Each new job reuses what is already connected, so it costs less to add.

05Your data

Your data stays yours.

During the Scan we only read the exports you send. Here is exactly what happens to them.

It sits in one private folderNot email, not USB. Only three people on our team can open it, and each has signed a confidentiality agreement.
A person checks every resultGoogle Workspace and Claude Team are the only services that touch your data, and nothing AI produces reaches you without a review.
Deleted, in writingThirty days after the readout, or within 5 business days if you ask sooner. You get written confirmation. We'll sign your data agreement too.

06Our work so far

The data work comes first.

From our anchor engagement with a multi-company financial services group.

205,229

customer records matched across their systems into one view.

3,694

customers seen across 3 or more systems for the first time.

250, not 600

real new leads a month, once their data was in one place. About $50,000 a month was going to an ad channel that produced no sales.

07Our promise

You pay for the answer, whatever it is.

Your answer in 10 business days.

From the day your data arrives, plus 5 days for each added job. That's a promise: if we're late, that job's fee comes back to you.

We're not a manufacturer. Can we still work with you?

Yes. Our examples come from manufacturing because that's where most of our Scans start, but the Scan works the same way for any company with a job done by hand and data spread across more than one system. Our first client is a financial services group. Book a call and tell us about the job.

What if our data isn't ready?

That is a normal result, not a failure. The Scan tells you exactly what to fix, what it costs, and what the job will be worth once it's fixed. Your Scan fee comes off the readiness plan.

Why not just buy a tool?

Sometimes you should. If a product, or a feature in software you already pay for, does the job better, the Scan says so and we can set it up for you.

Do we need a data hub first?

No. Every job can run on its own. A shared data hub becomes the cheaper, sturdier choice once several jobs use the same customers, parts or systems. We tell you when you reach that point, and why.

How much of our team's time does it take?

About 2 hours for the Scan: a kickoff call and the readout. Plus one person who can pull the exports on our checklist.

Is it secure?

Every build is secure by design: read-only access where possible, the least access needed, and a person approves before anything is saved.

08Availability

We start 2 to 3 new Scans a month.
