How much is doing it by hand quietly costing you?
Most businesses leak real money through double data entry, reports rebuilt by hand, and systems that don't talk to each other. It never shows up on an invoice, so it's easy to keep paying. Answer 7 quick questions and see the number, in your own figures, then get a build-ready spec for the system that stops it.

Where the money actually leaks
The cost of manual operations is real but invisible. Industry research is blunt about it: small-business owners lose roughly 36% of the workweek to admin, and 43% personally do data entry (Salesforce, The Alternative Board). Manual data entry runs a 1% to 4% error rate, and a single error that reaches a customer can cost $50 to $500 to unwind (Gartner, Lido). None of that shows up as a line item, which is exactly why it compounds.
This audit turns that fog into a number you can act on. It looks at three things you can answer off the top of your head:
- Re-keying and manual reporting. The hours your team spends typing the same information into a second system, or exporting to Excel just to get a report.
- Data-entry errors. What it costs, conservatively, to catch and fix the mistakes manual entry produces.
- The risks we won't put a fake number on. Money that silently disagrees between systems, and the key-person risk of one person holding it all in their head.
Then it hands you the fix
Knowing the leak is half of it. The audit also gives you a Build-Ready Brief: a plain-English spec of the system that would stop your specific leaks, written so you can take it to any developer and ask for a fixed price. Only a firm that has built this software for 40 years can hand you that for free. You don't have to use us to use it.
Common questions
How is the number calculated?
Your inputs times conservative, cited benchmarks. Every line of math is shown on screen, including the source, so you can defend it to a partner, a CFO, or your own books.
Is it free, and do you store my answers?
Free, no signup to see your number, and nothing leaves your browser to compute it. We only save your details if you ask us to email the full report.
What would it cost to fix?
A focused, fixed-price custom build typically runs $25,000 to $75,000, delivered as code you own. The audit estimates how fast that pays for itself at your leak rate. See full pricing.
