Pilot

Before building anything, you need to know whether it works.

You send real files — fifty invoices, an export of emails, the spreadsheets someone reconciles by hand. In a week you get two things back: a prototype running on your own data, and the numbers.

Price and time

From €3,500. One week.

No travel, and no meetings beyond the ones that are needed.

If the numbers say automating is not worth it, that is what we tell you, and the report is yours either way. It happens often enough, and it is information worth what it costs.

Invoicing is in euros wherever you are, and the contract and the GDPR paperwork are in English.

What moves the price: how many different document types, how many systems have to be read from or written to, and whether there are business rules to validate on top of the extraction.

What you get

Two things, at the end of a week

  • A prototype running on your data

    Not a video and not a set of screenshots. It is something you put one of your own documents into and get back what was pulled out of it, so you can try it on the cases that worry you.

  • The numbers

    How much it gets right and where it gets things wrong, what each document costs to process, and how many hours a month this takes off someone's desk. With the arithmetic alongside: what building it costs against what it saves in a year.

The arithmetic

Who this pays off for

An administrator costs a business somewhere between €28 and €34 an hour once employer contributions and cover are counted. That is the figure that decides everything else.

It pays off when the process eats more than 40 hours a month, or when more than 200 documents a month pass through someone's hands. Past that, the software pays for itself inside the first year.

Below it, usually it does not, and we say so in the first conversation rather than selling you a project that never pays for itself — and often that you need less than you thought.

Conversations we have already had

Three things we are always asked

“Why paid, and not a free demo?”

Because a free demo runs on our examples, not on your files. This is real work: we process, we measure and we write it up.

“What happens to our data?”

It stays in the European Union and it is not used to train anything. We sign a data processing agreement before the first file arrives.

“What if we already know what we want?”

Then you skip this part and go straight to a quote for the build.

Let's do this

What you need to send

One line saying what the process is, and a sample of real files — fifty is almost always enough. We reply within one to two working days saying whether it is a case for a pilot, what it costs and when it starts.
