The brief is a guess.
“Automate this” — with no numbers. Nobody counted the hours or checked the systems. You do that homework for free, and so do five other bidders.

Automation experts: we find you clients.
You build automations that save businesses hours every week. But finding clients means bidding against strangers. Here, we send clients to you. Each one has already paid $1,500 for an assessment and has a written report — ProcessScout calls it a Trail Map — saying what to automate, what the problem costs, and what they'll spend to fix it.

The problem
Bidding for automation work is a bad deal.
On the usual marketplaces, four things work against you:
The cheapest bid wins.
The client can't measure the problem, so they can't value your fix. The duct-tape quote wins — and breaks quietly in month three.
Scope creep is baked in.
Nobody wrote down what's in and what's out. So every edge case becomes your problem, unpaid.
Your careful work is invisible.
Error handling, retries, audit trails — clients can't see them in a profile blurb. So you look the same as the duct-tape bid.
The work
What work we'd send you.
Our clients are small businesses — 10 to 49 people, mostly on QuickBooks. Their reports keep finding the same fixable problems. Example: the report says 31 hours a week goes on chasing invoices. Budget $15–22k. That job comes to you.

| What the report found | The job you'd get | What you'd know before quoting |
|---|---|---|
| Staff type in and chase invoices by hand | Automate invoice capture and approvals | The hours per week, counted. A budget range, in writing. |
| Orders re-typed into invoices and the ledger | Connect orders to invoicing automatically | Volumes and error rates, costed in dollars |
| Approvals stuck in inboxes and chat threads | Build approval chains with reminders and an audit trail | How long approvals take today, measured |
| The same data typed into CRM and accounting | Sync the two systems, end the re-typing | The systems named, the fields mapped, the waste costed |
Examples, not live jobs. What we send you depends on what client reports find.
Before you meet the client
The diagnosis is done. You just build.
Every client paid $1,500 for an assessment first. A human analyst signed the report. You quote against measured facts, not a hunch.
- The hours are counted. You know how big the problem is before you price it.
- The cost is in dollars. The client already knows what the problem costs them — so your price makes sense.
- The work is ranked. You're introduced for the job that fits your skills, not a wish list.
- There's a written skip list — things the analyst said not to automate yet. That's your defence against scope creep.
- There's a 90-day plan. Your build fits into it instead of floating alone.
- Results get checked at 30 and 90 days. Good work gets noticed — and gets you more introductions.
Said plainly
No promised amount of work. We introduce you when a client matches your skills — and we only earn when you do.

Questions automation experts ask
Frequently asked
Do I have to build on a particular platform?
No. The report says what to build and which systems are involved. How you build it is up to you — Zapier, Make, Power Automate, UiPath, or code. We review the quality of your past builds, not your tools.
How much discovery do I still have to do?
The client already paid for the business discovery: hours counted, costs measured, work ranked. You still check the technical side before you quote — but you're not doing free discovery any more.
What do you charge?
10% on clients we send you, dropping to 5% after $25,000 with the same client. Clients you find yourself: 0%, always. Joining and the software are free. We don't promise a volume of work.
