Kinetric turns the work your team does by hand into workflows that run on your own accounts. Each one is timed with a stopwatch before it is built and timed again after it goes live, so you see what came back.
Your system of record holds the data, but the work happens around it. Orders arrive by email and get keyed in. Invoices get matched by eye. Beside the ERP sits a spreadsheet that one person maintains. Everyone agrees it takes too long. Nobody has timed it, so nobody knows which piece to fix first.
About a week. Six recurring workflows watched while they run, timed with a stopwatch, and priced.
Three to four weeks. Two to four workflows from the teardown, built on your accounts and handed over running.
Monthly, optional, after a build sprint. The workflows keep working when the inputs change.
On the illustrative distributor, six workflows time out at $388,600 a year where the room estimates $229,500. The three builds hand back 335 hours a month of desk time.
The honest condition: hours returned are capacity, not cash. They become money only if someone points them at other work. And some workflows should not be built at all. The teardown says which, in writing.
| Depth | Duration | Asks of your team | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timed teardown | About a week | Six observation windows of thirty minutes each, with named owners. A screen recording can stand in for a live window. | Fixed at the scope call, once the six workflows and the systems they run in are named. |
| Build sprint | Three to four weeks, running alongside your desk. Nothing is switched over until it matches the manual process. | One owner per workflow, and the accounts the workflows run on | Fixed from the teardown's plan, before the sprint starts. |
| Run | Monthly, with a three-month minimum | A short monthly review with the owner | Fixed at the sprint handover, once the workflows are named. Decline it and the workflows still run. |
Nothing moves off your system of record. Everything is built on your accounts and is yours to keep. No license.
The teardown measures before it recommends, and it runs in both directions. In the sample, one workflow comes in faster than the room thinks. A vendor who only ever finds work costing more than you guessed is selling, not measuring.
Where a workflow hides a judgment call, we can put a score behind it, because scoring is the work Brendan did for three years. We direct the builds with AI tools and check every output before it runs on your accounts.
The one honest limit: the published teardown is illustrative, and no client automation has run under the Kinetric name yet. Workflows that depend on vendor portals with no way in except the screen are fragile. We say so in the plan and defer them.
A composite industrial distributor, 62 staff, timed for a week across 41 timed runs. Three workflows get built, one wired to a score, and a customer portal is declined.
Read the case›One sentence: the manual work that eats the most time, and the system it runs around.
A short call to agree the six workflows and name an owner for each. The fee is fixed on this call.
Six thirty-minute observation windows in one week, and read-only access to the systems they touch.
We'll tell you what your own history can say about it, and which offering fits. If none does, we'll say that too.
