Audit first · workflow systems

Find the work
worth automating.
Then build it properly.

We map the workflow before choosing the tool. Then we design the triggers, approvals, integrations, failure paths, and ownership around the part of your operation that is worth improving first.

[ live_runtime

Pick a trigger. Watch a system run.

This is a representative workflow, running in your browser. Click an input to see how a system can classify, enrich, decide, and execute with explicit policy and logging at each step.

[ what_we_build

Build the backbone.
Add the controls you need.

Some workflows can run quietly behind the scenes. Others need approvals, visibility, role-based access, or a manual handoff queue. The audit tells us which operating surface is appropriate.

  • Dashboard to trigger, pause, override, and replay approved actions
  • Activity feed, system telemetry, and agreed operating signals
  • Role-based access, approvals, and manual-handoff queues
  • Brand-matched UI for internal or client-facing workflows

// for teams who want their ops visible, steerable, demo-ready.

[ agents/openclaw

OpenClaw. Browser agents that
actually click.

Some workflows live behind logins, in tools without APIs, or in messy admin interfaces. Browser agents can operate those systems with explicit permissions, checkpoints, and a rollback path when a normal integration is not available.

[ build_protocol

How a build goes.

We move from workflow understanding to a written scope, a tested build, and an operating model your team can actually own.

Phase 01 · audit

Audit + map

We sit with the people who own the work, map the handoffs and constraints, and identify where time, money, or context is being lost.

Phase 02 · scope

Spec the loops

Choose the first priority together. Its scope names the trigger, policy, systems, failure modes, owner, acceptance checks, and the measure that matters.

Phase 03 · build

Build + harden

We build with the appropriate platform, API, or custom code, test with representative data, and add monitoring, retries, approvals, and rollback before release.

Phase 04 · ongoing

Watch + extend

After launch, we review what ran, what needs attention, and what the next priority should be. We can stay involved or hand over the runbook and ownership.

[ open_partnership

How we start. What unlocks.

We open with a free audit call, understand the current operation, and write down the first sensible technical priority. If the work is not a fit, we say so. If it is, the scope and ownership are clear before implementation.

Starter loop

One audited workflow, scoped clearly, with the smallest useful system and the evidence needed to decide what comes next.

One month, in your slack

We work alongside the people who run the process, document the system, and transfer the operating context as ownership changes.

Review the next priority when the operation is ready. We can stay as managing technical partner or hand over the system and runbook.

[ initiate

It starts
with the audit call.

Book the 30-minute audit. We map the operation live, identify the first workflow worth investigating, and define the next technical priority. Here’s what the conversation is designed to clarify:

// what you get when you book value
01

Live stack map

We map the tools, handoffs, constraints, and people involved, so the current operation is clear before anyone recommends a build.

02

First priority, clearly framed

A specific workflow with its trigger, systems, failure modes, owner, acceptance checks, and the measure that will tell us whether it is helping.

03

Written scope for the next decision

If a build is the right next step, the scope names deliverables, acceptance criteria, integrations, ownership, and review points before implementation begins.

04

Loom recap for your team

A 5-minute video you can send your founder, CFO, or ops lead. They see the case before you have to pitch it.

Operating model

Before implementation, we agree the workflow, integrations, acceptance checks, monitoring, rollback path, owner, and review points. Releases are tested against representative data and approved milestones. The operating model and handover are written down so your team knows what happens when the system needs attention.

Why the audit comes first

The audit is the right starting point because the workflow should decide the build, not a preset package.

// P.S., If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so and leave you with a clearer picture of the problem.

AI Automation · FAQ

Six useful questions before we
start mapping your workflows.

The audit clarifies the workflow, system boundary, failure path, measurement, and ownership before any automation is proposed.

What happens in the audit?+

We map the workflow, systems, handoffs, constraints, and people who own the process. Then we identify the first priority worth investigating and explain what a build would need.

How do you choose the automation tool?+

We choose around the workflow, permissions, hosting, failure handling, and the team that will operate it. Make, n8n, native APIs, browser automation, or custom code may all be appropriate in different parts of the same system.

How do we measure whether it is helping?+

We agree the useful signal before build: time returned, fewer manual handoffs, routing accuracy, processing quality, faster response, or another business measure. The baseline, owner, and review cadence are part of the scope.

What happens when the automation breaks?+

We design monitoring, logs, alerts, retries, approvals, and a rollback path around the workflow. The operating runbook explains what the team handles, what Kratt handles, and how incidents are reviewed.

What access and data do you need?+

Access is scoped to the workflow: relevant systems, sample records, permissions, policies, and the people who can verify the result. We agree data boundaries and human review before connecting anything.

Who runs the system after launch?+

You choose the operating model. We can remain the managing technical partner for monitoring and improvements, or hand over the code, access, documentation, and runbook to your team.
