When not to hire us — Steadwell

01The honest page

Any consultant who says you always need them is not worth your time.

So here it is in writing: five cases where hiring us is the wrong move, each with what to do instead. The audit is free, so what it costs you is one to three days of your team's attention — and on this list, those days are better spent elsewhere.

We would rather be trusted next year than busy this week.

03Our incentive

"AI will not fix this" is a finding we write for nothing.

We charge nothing for the audit whether the report says "automate these six things" or "change nothing." We sell no software and take no vendor commissions, so no problem has to fit a product.

The one thing we do sell is a build — and no build is pitched unless it clears its own break-even math on your measured hours. When we do pitch one, it is built from the audit's own numbers, and you can check every figure against the report you already have.

04The other side

When you should hire us.

Tick the ones that sound like your week. Two or more and the audit fits.

Nothing you tick is stored or sent.

Still here? Then the audit probably fits.

One conversation to check. No pitch deck, no discovery workshop, no retainer.
