This is not a product demo
A paid diagnostic is not a sales pitch dressed as consulting. It is a time-boxed, founder-led exercise with one output: clarity about one workflow.
You pay for the work, not for a promise. If the diagnostic says the problem is too small to pursue, that is a legitimate and useful outcome.
What you provide
Before the diagnostic begins, we need only context that does not expose confidential test data:
- One named workflow (e.g. “ECU variant regression on stand 3”).
- The tools and scripts currently involved.
- A short description of the recurring friction and when it was last visible.
- The people or roles that touch the workflow and who owns the decision about changing it.
- What decision the diagnostic should support (e.g. PoC go/no-go, tool migration, compliance readiness).
No proprietary logs, no customer data, no sensitive test results.
What the diagnostic produces
| Deliverable | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Workflow map | Actors, tools, setup steps, handoff points, run evidence, review context. One diagram and a short accompanying text. |
| Gap list | Where repeatability, evidence, or handoff confidence is weak. Ranked by impact on delivery, audit, or rework cost. |
| PoC scope | A narrow proof-of-concept definition: one workflow, one stand or representative environment, one evidence artifact, success criteria, known risks, and an estimated effort range. |
| Recommendation | Go/no-go on a PoC. If go: scope, price estimate, timeline. If no-go: why, and what would change the answer. |
Duration and price test
| Dimension | Range |
|---|---|
| Duration | 1-2 weeks, typically 3-5 sessions of 60-90 minutes each |
| Price | EUR 2k-5k, depending on complexity and number of stakeholders |
| Format | Remote or on-site, with one workflow owner and one engineer present |
The price is a test, not a final commercial structure. It validates whether a diagnostic is worth paying for before we invest in automation or implementation.
Good fit / bad fit
A diagnostic makes sense when:
- There is a named problem owner with decision authority.
- The workflow is important enough to affect delivery, audit readiness, or customer confidence.
- Multiple tools or people touch the workflow.
- The team has tried local fixes but the same ambiguity returns.
A diagnostic is a bad fit when:
- The team wants a free demo or a vendor comparison.
- No one can name a specific painful workflow.
- The goal is a full platform migration in one step.
- Formal compliance certification is required before any pilot work.
The simplest next step
If you can name one workflow and one friction, send a short note with the current tools and what you need the diagnostic to answer. We will reply within 1-2 business days with whether it looks like a fit.
