Free operational diagnostic

The hours your business loses are already on your payroll.

Eight minutes with an AI interviewer turns how work actually moves through your business into a figure you can defend — and four changes you can make this month.

  • A live, itemised loss figure while you talk
  • A written brief with four concrete actions, one per week
  • No account, no card, no sales call afterwards

Aida is an AI interviewer. The conversation is not recorded as audio; a text transcript is kept for 30 days so your brief can be written, then deleted. You can end the call at any time.

Start here

Three details, then we talk.

The interview stays on how work moves: where it waits, what gets re-done, and how many hours that costs each person. It does not ask for customer names, employee names, or anything financial beyond a loaded hourly rate you choose to give.

The estimate below updates as you type. It is the same arithmetic the interview uses — nothing is generated by the language model.

GBP
Fully loaded — wage plus tax, pension and overhead. If you leave it blank, we use a typical rate for your currency and show it to you.

About eight minutes. Headphones help, but a microphone alone is enough. You can type instead of speaking at any point.

How it works

One conversation, then a brief you can act on.

The interview follows a fixed arc so it does not wander: context, one real piece of work end to end, where it waits, what that costs, and the single constraint to fix first.

01 — INTAKE

Tell us what the business does

Name, industry, headcount, and the thing that feels slowest. That is enough to start.

02 — INTERVIEW

Talk for about eight minutes

Aida asks one question at a time and keeps its own notes. The loss figure updates on screen as you give it hours, headcount, or a rate.

03 — BRIEF

Read the written brief

A diagnosis, the constraint, one lead measure, and four weekly actions tied to what you actually described. Print it or save it as a PDF.

Why the numbers hold up

Every figure is arithmetic you can repeat.

A language model can hold a conversation, but it should not be trusted to do your sums. In Aida it never does. The interviewer may only repeat figures returned by the calculator — and the calculator is the same code on every page.

The calculation

people × hours lost per person per week × loaded rate × 52 weeks

Hours are clamped to a sane range, headcount is a whole number, and money is rounded to two decimal places once, so the figure spoken and the figure shown cannot drift apart.

What we do not claim

No peer ranking, no invented industry average, no comparison with businesses we have not measured. The severity label describes the hours you reported; it is not a standing among other firms.

The recoverable share is a stated assumption, not a promise: 72 per cent of the annual figure, which is the part a four-week change to one constraint can realistically return.

Practical questions

Before you start.

Is this really free?

Yes. There is no card, no account, and no follow-up sales call. The brief is yours.

Is the call recorded?

No audio is stored. The transcript and notes are kept for 30 days so the brief can be written, then deleted.

What if I do not know our hourly rate?

Leave it blank. We use a typical loaded rate for your currency, show it plainly, and the brief says it was assumed.

Can I type instead of speaking?

Yes. If a microphone is unavailable or you would rather not use one, the interview works as a text conversation.
