What's included
// 01 · What you get

A report you, your shop manager, and your bookkeeper or CFO can all act on.

  • 10-question intake form immediately after checkout. Takes about 8 minutes. No follow-up emails to extract details.
  • Diagnostic of your stack: ERP, Microsoft 365, file servers, communications channels, and the workflows your senior people actually run.
  • 15-page report: top 5 automations specific to your shop. Each one with hours saved per week, payback period in months, implementation cost estimate, and a complexity score from 1 to 5.
  • Built to share: structured so any section can stand on its own — a printout for your team, an attachment for your accountant, a memo for your board if you have one.
  • 30-minute walkthrough call, in English or French. We go through the report together. Bring your shop manager.
  • Audit fee credited 100% toward Foundation if you upgrade within 30 days. The audit pays for itself if you decide to build.
// 02 · Why this works

The audit is the discovery call.

Most discovery calls are unpaid. The vendor needs a deal, you need to make sure they're not wasting your time. Both of you are guarded.

This is the opposite. You pay $1,997. We build a usable artifact your shop can act on whether or not you ever hire us. No sales pressure. The walkthrough call is a working session, not a pitch.

When you're spending real money, you don't take risks. Neither do we. The audit is small enough to test us with, and detailed enough to be worth more than its price.

// 03 · The process

From buy to walkthrough in under two weeks.

STEP 01

Buy

Click the button, enter your email, complete Stripe checkout in CAD with QST/HST handled.

STEP 02

Intake

You get redirected to the intake form. Ten questions. Eight minutes. About your shop, stack, and bottlenecks.

STEP 03

Report

Seven days later you get the 15-page report. Five automations, ranked. Payback in months, not vague claims.

STEP 04

Walkthrough

Thirty-minute working session in EN or FR. We walk the report together. You leave with a ranked priority list and three legitimate next steps: build with us, build internally, or shelf it.

// 04 · Common questions

Quick answers before you buy.

Full refund any time before we start writing the report (typically the first 48 hours after intake submission). Once we've started analysis, the report is non-refundable, but you keep the deliverable regardless of what you decide afterward.
Derik Lawlis. Founder of Sagepar, two prior exits as a software operator, ten-plus years building systems for industrial businesses. The walkthrough call is with him directly, not a junior consultant.
Yes. The structure (top 5 ranked by payback, complexity score 1-5, implementation cost estimate) is designed to stand on its own. We can deliver in your preferred format — PDF, Word, or markdown — on request.
Then you keep the report. The 5 ranked automations, payback estimates, and implementation cost ranges are usable whether you build with us, build internally, or buy a different vendor. The Foundation upsell is optional, not implied.
The common ones across industrial: Genius, Epicor, Fishbowl, Sage Production, SAP Business One, Acumatica, Vista, Penta, Sage 100/300. QuickBooks Desktop and Sage 50 on the accounting side. Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, SharePoint, Teams). File servers and shared drives. If you're on something else, tell us in the intake — we'll let you know if it's in our wheelhouse.
Yes. Standard mutual NDA on request. We've signed them with every prior client.
Yes. You pick EN or FR in the intake form. Quebec French specifically — not France French.
The report has numbers. Hours saved per workflow per week, payback period in months, implementation cost ranges. A free call is a sales pitch with vague claims. This is a paid artifact you can hand to your shop manager, your bookkeeper, or your board.
