Tell us the job.
Five short questions. Nothing is mandatory, and you'll never be asked for a budget. It just means we arrive at the call already understanding the role instead of spending the first twenty minutes getting there.
No budget question
We price against what the job is worth, which we can't know before we've understood it.
No obligation
The call is free and there's no proposal unless you ask for one.
An honest answer
Including "don't automate this", which is the answer roughly a third of the time.
What happens after you send it.
We read it properly
Usually within a working day. If something in the brief tells us this isn't a fit, we'll say so by email rather than book a call to tell you in person.
Thirty minutes, at your convenience
We map the position, the systems, the authority it would need, and what the job costs you today. You do most of the talking.
You get a straight answer
Whether it's worth building, roughly what it would cost, roughly how long, and what the risks are. In writing, so you can take it to whoever else needs to see it.
