Operational Innovation Pilot — One Company Per Month
Your business could work better. Technology can help.
We run a free, 4-week operational innovation pilot with one selected company each month. It is free with no conditions — because the point is to learn how real SMBs operate and prove what actually works, not to sell you software. If it does not serve you, we turn it off — and you owe nothing.
We are not selling you software — that is not why this is free. We run a concrete pilot inside your operation to learn and to prove what works, and you decide what happens after.
No Theory. No Slide Deck.
This is not a talk about innovation. It is not a report that sits in a drawer.
It is a concrete pilot with a clear goal. We pick one real problem in your operation, build something that works, and put it in front of your team. You can touch it, use it, and decide whether it earns a place in your business. For us it is also research: a chance to see how a real SMB operates from the inside and prove what actually helps.
If you are tired of being pitched AI and automation, this is the opposite of that. We run the experiment with you — for free, no conditions, because we want to learn and to show real proof — and you keep the outcome either way.
Where the Drag Actually Lives
Most SMBs do not have a technology problem. They have an operational one.
Your tools are fine. The friction is in the handoffs between them — the copy-paste, the follow-ups that slip, the reports rebuilt by hand. Four buckets cover most of it. Which one is yours?
Sell better
Leads wait before anyone follows up. Proposals get stuck. Pipeline data lives in three places and none of them agree.
Serve better
The same questions get answered over and over. Coordination happens in Slack threads. Nobody owns the follow-through.
Operate better
Manual tasks, double-entry, and disconnected tools eat the week. Work moves between inboxes instead of through systems.
Decide better
Reports are rebuilt by hand. Visibility is scattered. You find out what happened a week after it mattered.
“You do not need to know what technology to implement. Part of the work is discovering what is worth improving first.”
That Is Our Job
You bring the operation. We bring the judgment.
You do not need to know what technology to implement — that is part of the work. During the pilot we study your workflows, find the bottlenecks, and figure out what is worth improving. If the right answer is a better process, a tool you already own, or no automation at all, we will tell you.
Most AI projects fail because nobody mapped the workflow first. We start from the operation, not the tool stack — that is the whole method.
Apply in five minutes. See results in a month.
A simple, transparent path from application to decision.
Tell us what is dragging.
A short application: your business, the operation, and where it hurts most. This is the only commitment — and it takes minutes, not hours.
We look before we pitch.
We review your application against our criteria and what we can actually move in a month. If we are not a fit, we tell you plainly — and point you to the assessment path instead.
We pick the pilot that will genuinely move.
We run one pilot per month so it gets real attention, not a template. If you are not selected this cycle, you are on the list for the next one.
We build it on your real operation.
We pick one high-impact problem, design the fix, and implement it inside the systems you already use. You see it working on real work — with a transparent trail of what it did and why.
Keep it, or turn it off.
If the pilot does not serve you, we turn it off and you owe nothing. If it works and you want to keep it, you start a simple monthly service for whatever solution we actually built — a Digital Employee, a custom automation, a workflow, or any combination — at the point where it is already delivering value. You only ever pay for the thing that is working.
Not a Fixed Catalog
The solution follows the problem — not a sales pitch.
We do not sell a fixed list of “products.” Every pilot is scoped to the operation we find. The fix may be one of these — or a combination — depending on what is actually dragging.
Whatever we build during the pilot is what you would pay for monthly if you keep it — a Digital Employee, a custom automation, a workflow integration, or a combination. There is no surprise upsell or product catalog. The monthly fee is for the solution that is already working for you.
A Good Fit — Strongly Qualified
This pilot is for operating SMBs — not hype.
If you run real work with real clients, a team, and actual processes, and you want them to run better, this is aimed at you. But the pilot is not an open offer — we select one company per month, deliberately, where we can both move something and learn the most.
Good fit (ICP-aligned):
- ✓Founder-operator or head of operations at a founder-led SMB (1–50 people)
- ✓Real clients, team, and processes in motion every day
- ✓Wants things to run better, not a slide deck
- ✓Willing to try a concrete, time-boxed pilot
- ✓Open to being studied: you let us see how the operation really runs (that is the research)
Selection criteria — what makes a good pilot candidate:
- ✓Founder-led SMB, ~1–50 people (our ICP)
- ✓Real operations with actual clients, team, processes — not pre-revenue
- ✓A single, concrete operational problem we can scope and address in ~4 weeks
- ✓Founder/operator who can participate and give us access to the people and systems involved
- ✓Willing to be part of the learning: we study how the operation runs so we can prove what works
- ✓Reasonable chance the pilot can produce a visible, transferable outcome within the month
Not the right fit (be honest here):
- —Pre-revenue or no real operations yet
- —Not willing to spend the ~4 weeks participating
- —Only wants a cheap chatbot or hourly automation labor
- —Not open to being observed / studied (the research angle matters to both sides)
We tell non-fits plainly. The assessment path is a lighter, paid first step if the pilot is not for you.
Apply for the Pilot
One company per month. Could it be yours?
Free. No conditions — truly. We select deliberately, not first-come. If it does not serve you, we turn it off and you owe nothing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the pilot cost?
Nothing. For selected companies it is free with no conditions — no fee, no commitment, no obligation to buy anything after. That is deliberate: this is research and proof for us, not a sale.
Why is it free? No conditions?
Because the point is research + proof, not a sale. We pick one real SMB a month to study how operations actually run and to build a visible, real outcome. In exchange, selected companies get the pilot for nothing — no strings, no catch.
How do you select companies?
Not first-come. We look for a founder-led SMB (~1–50 people) with real operations, one concrete problem we can scope in four weeks, and a founder who can participate. Selection is deliberate — we pick the pilot where we can both move something and learn the most.
What if the pilot does not work for us?
We turn it off. No cost, no obligation. That is the point of a pilot — it is reversible.
What happens if it does work?
You decide. If it is delivering value, you keep it under a simple monthly service for whatever solution we actually built — a Digital Employee, a custom automation, a workflow — you only pay for the thing that is already working for you.
Why only one company per month?
A real pilot needs real attention. Running one at a time means it is not a template — it is built on your operation.
Do we need to know what technology to use?
No. Part of the work is discovering what is worth improving. We bring the judgment; you bring the operation.
What does the pilot actually build?
One high-impact fix, scoped to your problem. It may be automation, better use of tools you own, connecting systems, intake, follow-up, or visibility — depending on what we find.
How long does the pilot take?
About four weeks, from selection to the decision point.
Is my data safe?
We work inside the systems you already use and leave a transparent trail of what happened. No opaque black box.
We are not selected — can we still work with you?
Yes. We will point you to the right entry point, usually the AI Readiness Assessment — a focused, paid diagnostic that tells you what to fix first.
What if we are not an operating SMB yet?
The pilot is for operating businesses with real work in motion. If you are earlier, the assessment path is a better first step.
