Fit Note
- What we saw
- What you told us
- What we think might be true
- What we do not know
- One useful next step
To keep whether or not you proceed.
You know where you want the business to go: a service done better, or more of the customers you do your best work for. Or an idea the team has put off. What usually holds it back is time, and the same few people carrying more of it.
AI keeps turning up in the tools you already pay for. We look through your week for the work that carries a goal, including work you would not think to ask about, and we build that.
A 25‑minute call. No files, no homework. A written note either way.
Example job. The business shown is not a client.
The first call asks where you want the business to go, then follows one recent piece of work through it. That is how we find the work that carries the goal.
The next step may be a simpler fix, a week’s check on your own cases, a piece to build, a later date, or nothing. If a setting in software you already pay for does the job, the written note says so.
You
Bring the part of the business you know best. We get to know how it runs, then find the opportunities worth acting on, including some you would not think to ask for.
Change comes in phases. Each is measured on real work, with your numbers, before the next is chosen. We expand only when the first piece has earned it.
Our Field Notes set these out at length. In short:
Then choose a bounded next step, and inspect existing tools and simpler improvements first.

The Fit Note is a recap of the discussion, not a formal design. It says “do not build” when that is the answer. A Build runs in the tools you already have, and no new system of record is added.
The Fit Call is 25 minutes. An Evidence Check takes one week. A Blueprint, if one line of your work needs designing first, takes two weeks.
A Build takes three to five weeks. A Connected Build, two or three pieces working together for one result, takes six to ten. Thirty days of stabilisation follow written acceptance. After the first thirty days, Care is a monthly choice you can cancel with 30 days’ notice.
A Build is quoted as a fixed fee before you commit. It is covered by our written guarantee.
If you know what you want the business to do, bring that. If you do not, bring the question. Twenty‑five minutes with a founder, free, and a written note either way.
