Repair the process.
Automate the routine.
We repair unreliable spreadsheets and automate repetitive reporting, finance, and administrative workflows—without forcing your team to replace every tool it already uses.

- ✓Human-reviewed delivery
- ✓English and French
Illustrative workflow
MONTHLY
Before
12 h
Six files, repeated copying, unclear ownership, and last-minute errors.
After
1.5 h
One controlled import, automatic calculations, exception flags, and a documented review step.
Illustrative time returned
126 h / year
Example only. Results vary by workflow, data quality, and adoption.
What we repair
Start with the boring work that keeps breaking.
We focus on contained workflows where wasted time, errors, and weak controls create a measurable business cost.
Reporting automation
Turn recurring exports into consistent dashboards, management reports, and exception lists.
- CSV, Excel, and structured PDF inputs
- Recurring reporting packages
- Variance and anomaly flags
Administrative workflows
Reduce repetitive copying, renaming, reconciliation, reminders, and document preparation.
- File and data processing
- Human approval checkpoints
- Clear operating instructions
How it works
Repair first. Automate second.
Automating a broken process only creates mistakes faster. Every engagement begins by clarifying the real workflow and defining a correct result.
Start with a fit review →- 01
Diagnose
Map the current process, files, users, pain points, and failure risks.
- 02
Scope
Agree on deliverables, acceptance tests, exclusions, timeline, and price before development.
- 03
Build and challenge
Develop the solution, test bad inputs, reconcile outputs, and document the workflow.
- 04
Deploy and support
Train the user, monitor initial cycles, and maintain the system under a separate support scope when needed.
How trust is earned
Not a random script. A controlled business tool.
Low-cost automation becomes expensive when nobody understands it, inputs change, or the builder disappears. We design around accountability, traceability, and continued use.
Writtenscope and acceptance criteria
Remotedelivery across Québec and Canada
Namedproject responsibility
Every implementation is designed to include
- ✓Acceptance tests
A written definition of what must work before completion.
- ✓Human review
Important calculations and outputs are reviewed rather than blindly generated.
- ✓Documentation
Operating instructions, dependencies, and ownership are documented.
- ✓Defined defect support
Technical defects within the agreed scope are handled under the written proposal.
Transparent starting points
Price the agreed result before building it.
Final pricing is confirmed after reviewing the workflow. New requirements are handled through a separately approved change order.
Diagnostic
CA$149–399
For unclear, risky, or multi-step workflows that require proper mapping before a quote.
- Current-state workflow map
- Risk and feasibility review
- Implementation proposal
Contained automation
CA$750–2,500
For one defined spreadsheet, report, or administrative workflow with limited integrations.
- Build and testing
- Documentation and handoff
- Agreed revision cycle
Ongoing support
CA$149–999/month
For monitoring, recurring reports, integration maintenance, and controlled improvements.
- Defined response priorities
- Failure monitoring where supported
- Monthly improvement allowance
Prices are starting ranges, not binding quotes. Taxes, third-party licences, and out-of-scope work may be additional and will be disclosed before approval.
Opportunity estimator
Is the workflow worth fixing?
Estimate the labour currently consumed by one recurring process. This is a planning tool, not a promise of savings or profitability.
A useful screening rule
A project is usually easier to justify when the expected first-year value materially exceeds the implementation price.
Frequently asked questions
What a serious buyer will want to know.
Why not assign this to an employee?
Sometimes that is the correct decision. We are useful when the employee understands the work but lacks the time, technical capacity, testing process, or documentation discipline to build and maintain a reliable solution.
Do you guarantee savings or profit?
No. We define the workflow, assumptions, and acceptance tests in writing. Savings estimates are illustrative, and actual results depend on adoption, data quality, exceptions, and business conditions.
Who owns the finished work?
Ownership and licensing are defined in the signed proposal. Custom deliverables are generally transferred after full payment, while reusable methods, libraries, and third-party components remain subject to their stated licences.
How do you handle sensitive data?
The public website does not accept file uploads. Initial inquiries should contain no confidential files. Project data is handled only after a written scope and data-handling plan are approved.
Are services fully remote?
Yes. Discovery, secure file exchange, testing, training, and support are designed for remote delivery. Any on-site requirement must be agreed separately.
When is a diagnostic required?
A diagnostic is appropriate when systems, data, exceptions, or ownership are unclear enough that a responsible fixed quote cannot yet be produced.
Start with one workflow
Show us one process your team should not keep repeating manually.
Describe the workflow without attaching confidential files. We will assess whether it belongs in a small repair, paid diagnostic, fixed implementation, or internal solution.
