01 By the hour
Experts on demand — from $25/hour. You know what you need done. We send you a vetted expert and their rate; you approve both before anyone starts. Weekly billing, cancel any week.
For businesses
Get a plan first. Then an expert.
Pay $1,500 for an assessment. Get a written report: what's broken, what it's costing you, what to fix first, and what it should cost. Then, if you want help, we introduce a vetted expert.
Guaranteed: at least three findings with money attached, or your $1,500 back
Two ways to hire
Know what you need? Or not yet?
02 Fixed price
A project, planned first. Start with the $1,500 assessment. Get the report, know the budget, then get quotes from a vetted expert that land inside it. This page explains that route.
How hiring works
Four steps.
By the time you meet an expert, you'll already know what's broken and what fixing it is worth.
01 · Assess
Talk with Sarah
Pay $1,500. Spend about 90 minutes talking with Sarah, ProcessScout's intake assistant — an AI, not a person. A human analyst owns the judgment.
02 · Report
Get the report
In five business days: a written report — ProcessScout calls it a Trail Map — signed by a named analyst. What to fix, what it's worth, what to skip, and a budget range.
03 · Match
Meet an expert
If you want help building it, we introduce an expert vetted for the work. Or build in-house — the report is yours either way.
04 · Build
Build
You contract directly with the expert, on your terms. Quotes land inside the report's budget range, with payment protection on some jobs.
Your $1,500 credits in full toward a bigger ProcessScout project signed within 30 days — so if you build, the assessment costs you nothing.
Not sure it's right for you?
Take the two-minute check. It will honestly tell you “not yet” before any money or email changes hands.
Why trust it
The advice is independent.
When one firm sells both the diagnosis and the fix, the diagnosis always seems to recommend a fix. Here they're separate: ProcessScout writes the report, independent experts do the building. The people who diagnose don't profit from the fix — so “don't build this” is as easy to write as “build this”.
The assessment is guaranteed.
If the report can't show at least three findings with money attached, your $1,500 is refunded. Every finding is marked High, Medium, or Low confidence — so you can see how sure we are, not just what we say.
What it costs
One fixed price. Then a quote you can check.
The assessment is a fixed $1,500. The build is priced by your expert — inside the budget range the report already gave you.

The build
Priced by your expert
If the report names work worth doing, a vetted expert quotes it — inside the budget range the report already gave you.
- The budget range comes from the report, not the pitch
- You contract directly with the expert, on your terms
- Our fee is charged to the expert — never added to your bill
- Payment protection on some jobs Some jobs only
Bigger ProcessScout projects run from about $6,000 to $25,000+, scoped from the report. Your expert's written quote is what counts. Launch pricing.
The honest bits
What we won't promise.
- An expert for every report. If nobody in our network fits your report, we say so. You keep the report and build in-house or with your own advisor.
- We're not part of your contract. You contract directly with the expert. We vet, introduce, and step back — the work and the relationship are between you and them.
- Payment protection isn't on every job. Where it applies, you'll have it in writing.
Questions
What businesses ask first
Do I have to hire an expert after the assessment?
No. The report stands on its own — the fixes, the ranking, the 90-day plan. Many businesses build in-house or with an advisor they already trust. The introduction is an option, never an obligation.
Who owns the report?
You do. It's your report and your plan — whether you hire through us, build in-house, or do nothing at all.
How are experts vetted?
A human reviews the real work every expert has shipped — not follower counts. The full bar is published on our vetting page.
What does the expert see about my business?
Only the part of the report you approve — what's relevant to the work being quoted, nothing more. Nothing is shared until you agree to the introduction.
