When you need it documented
Most of our work with local government costs nothing and starts with a conversation. This is the deeper option: a structured way to find out what the workarounds are actually costing, written so it can go straight into a budget request without being rewritten.
A paid engagement where we sit down with your team and walk through your processes step by step — as they actually run, not as they are documented. The output is a written report that belongs to you.
Typically run for clerks, elections offices, and county administration — anywhere a process has been carried by the same three people and the same spreadsheet for longer than anyone can remember.
The value is in the room. We talk to the people who do the work every day.
Scope is agreed up front. It can be narrow — a single pain point — or a full cycle.
The deliverable is a report. Whether anything follows it is entirely your call.
How it works
We agree on which processes we’re looking at and who needs to be in the room.
On-site working sessions with the staff who actually run the process.
We quantify time, cost, and risk exposure in each problem area we found.
Written findings, delivered and walked through with you and your team.
Timeline depends on scope. A single-process evaluation is typically a matter of weeks, not months.
The deliverable
Most vendors never quantify the status quo. The cost column is the reason this report survives contact with a finance office.
A fair question
Because the findings are yours.
Use it for a budget request, a board presentation, or nothing at all.
Not to us, not to any product, not to a next step.
If the right answer is a process change and no software, that is what it will say.
A paid evaluation is a deliverable. The incentive has to point at your outcome.
