Custom software is cheaper than it used to be, which is exactly why more people are being sold it than need it. Seven questions and a straight verdict — including the frequent verdict that you should not build anything.
Your answers are scored in your own browser. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to email yourself the result.
All the same deal: result first, email optional.
Eight plain questions about how your week actually runs. You get a score and a prioritised list of what to fix first.
Four sliders. See roughly what repetitive admin costs you per year, and what is worth doing about it at that scale.
Ten yes-or-no questions about how you handle people’s information. Built for schools, community groups, practices and small businesses.
It is weighted deliberately against building, because that is the honest default. Custom is wrong more often than anyone selling it admits, and we would rather turn down a project than take money for something that gets abandoned in a year. If the tool tells you to buy off-the-shelf, take it at face value.
Better building blocks. A great deal of what used to be written from scratch — logins, permissions, forms, reporting, hosting — is now assembled rather than built. That has moved custom from a large-company option to something a mid-sized business can reasonably consider. It has not changed the cost of owning it, which is a separate question.
That you are close to the edge of off-the-shelf but not past it. The pain is usually at the join between two tools rather than inside either one, and a small automation in the middle costs a fraction of replacing either end. It is the most common right answer.
On a call, yes — and more usefully, because we can ask follow-up questions. Run the tool first, bring the result, and we will pressure-test it against what you actually do.
Twenty minutes. We will pressure-test what the tool told you against what you actually do, and give you a straight opinion on what to tackle first.
