How this goes.

Three steps, two numbers, and a date you can hold us to.

The engagement in weeks: week one finds what is leaking and produces the one-page map, the proposal and the roadmap. Weeks two to six build what pays for itself first, and the first thing is live in week two. From week seven onward it runs with you, with thirty days of fixes included. Week 1 Find what is leaking One-page map, proposal, roadmap Weeks 2 to 6 Build what pays for itself first First thing live in week two Week 7 onward Run it with you 30 days of fixes included The engagement in weeks: week one finds what is leaking and produces the one-page map, the proposal and the roadmap.

What are the three steps?

Find what is leaking, build what pays for itself first, then run it with you.

The three-step Garra Works engagement: find what is leaking in one week, build what pays for itself first in two to six weeks, then run it with the client from week two onward. 01Find what is leakingONE WEEK, FIXED PRICEA week inside how the businessactually runs, not how it is writtendown. You end up with the wholeoperation on one page, and a plainlist of what to fix.You keep the one-page map whateveryou decide next.02Build what pays foritself firstTWO TO SIX WEEKSOne workflow at a time, in tools youcan keep, deployed where your teamalready works.

NO CLIENT DATA SHOWNAUG 2026

What happens in the first week?

Five days inside how your business actually runs, not how it is documented.

We sit with the people doing the work and follow the things that go missing.

Four things you get at the end of it:

  • Your business on one page. Every place work enters, moves, or leaves. What is holding, what we would fix first, and what is costing you money now.
  • A plain list of what to leave alone. Usually longer than the fix list.
  • A build proposal. Each piece, what it does, a fixed price to build it, and a monthly number to run it.
  • A roadmap with dates. What ships in week two, what ships in week six, and what waits.

$500, fixed. It comes off the first project if you decide to do one, and the one-page map is yours either way.

How long does it take to build?

Two to six weeks.

One workflow at a time, in tools you can keep, deployed where your team already works. Not another app someone has to be told to open. We spend your money the way we spent our own, because we have been the ones spending it.

What is the one-page map?

One page. Your entire operation in ordered category blocks.

Gray for what works. Cobalt for what we would fix first. Clay, sparingly, for what is actively costing money right now.

Most owners have never once seen the whole thing on a single page. They have lived inside it for eleven years and only ever seen a piece at a time.

It is a paid deliverable, not a pitch. It proves we can see your business before we have built anything in it.

What happens on the first call?

The whole call is questions.

Proposing a solution in the first meeting feels like competence and reads as the opposite. So we ask, and we do not pitch.

  1. "What have you already tried here, and why did it stop?"
  2. "What cannot change, no matter what we build?"
  3. "Walk me through the last time this went wrong."
  4. "Who does this today, and what does it cost you a week?"
  5. "In ninety days, how will you know this worked?"

Then we repeat back what we heard, get it corrected, and name one thing we would not build and why.

What does it cost?

You get two numbers before anything starts: what it costs to build and what it costs to run each month.

No day rates.

The first call is free, and we say so before you have to ask.

What happens after it goes live?

Thirty days of fixes after go-live are included.

After that there is a monthly number, and you know it before you sign. Most changes go live the same week.

Tell me what is falling through.

Thirty minutes on the phone, and you will know whether this is worth your money. If it is not, we will say so on the call.
