Today
At 40 inquiries a week, your team spends about five minutes on each one: copy the details, choose an owner, and write the first reply.
Recommendation
Replace the five-minute copy-sort-write routine with one inbox, three routing rules, and an approved-language draft. Your team just reviews and sends.
First step
Choose one inbox, define three routing rules, and approve two starter replies.
40 inquiries × 5 min = 3h 20mA person approves every send

Find the bottleneck. Fix the work. Then automate it.

The assessment applies that order to your business. It starts with the recurring work that matters most and ends with a ranked plan you can act on.

  1. Find the bottleneck

    Your intake narrows the scope. In the 45-minute session, we trace the recurring work consuming the most owner time or staff capacity.

  2. Fix the work first

    We separate necessary judgment from duplicate entry, needless steps, broken handoffs, and work your current tools could already handle.

  3. Automate only what fits

    Your report ranks process changes and tools by value, effort, and risk. You receive it within three business days, then review it with Hourback for 30 minutes.

What you receive

  1. Ranked opportunity map

    See which recurring work deserves attention first, ranked by time, value, and effort.

  2. 3–7 practical recommendations

    Know which tool or process change fits, what it costs, and how hard it will be to put in place.

  3. Relevant industry examples

    See what businesses in your field are using AI for, what may fit your work, and what appears risky, premature, or irrelevant.

  4. 30-day plan and review

    Get the report within three business days, start with the few fixes most likely to return time, then review the plan with Hourback for 30 minutes.

Start with the work, not the software.

You do not need to know which tool fits. Start with the calls, messages, documents, handoffs, and follow-up that keep consuming the week.

The right answer may be no new software.

Hourback starts without a predetermined tool. We assess the work, simplify what should change, and recommend automation only when it earns its place.

No sales agenda
Hourback resells nothing and receives no commissions. A process change or a feature you already own may beat another subscription.
Private data stays out
Talk us through the steps, not names, records, client files, passwords, or system access.
People stay responsible

Use the plan your way
Run it yourself, hire Hourback, or take it to another provider.

Straight answers before you book.

You should know what you are buying, what you are not buying, and what happens next.

I’m not technical. Is this for me?

Yes. The session is a conversation about your week, not your technology stack. The report uses plain English and assumes you, not an engineer, will run the first steps.

Are you selling software?

No. Hourback takes no commissions and resells nothing. The right recommendation may be AI, ordinary software, a feature you already own, or a process change with no new software at all.

We handle sensitive information. Is this safe?

The assessment needs no access to your systems or files. The working session is recorded only with your permission. Do not send sensitive information unless Hourback has agreed to a secure handling method.

How does the guarantee work?

If we can’t save your business at least ten hours a week, your assessment is free. The completed report must document changes reasonably expected to reduce recurring work by at least ten hours a week, based on the information and assumptions stated in the report. If it cannot, Hourback refunds the $999 fee. Implementation choices, changed conditions, and unavailable information affect realized results.

What happens after the assessment?

You can run the plan yourself, take it to another provider, or ask Hourback to scope implementation separately. Assessment clients who want ongoing help can also ask about AI Concierge when capacity allows.

Not ready for the full assessment?

Start with a free 15-minute mini-assessment. We’ll look at one recurring task and tell you whether the paid assessment is likely to be useful. See available mini-assessment times.

Know what to automate. Know what to leave alone.

Leave with a ranked plan, clear assumptions, and no obligation to buy another service.
