One screen shows who is actually available across every office, and drafts the qualifications package from your past wins. It sits on top of Deltek or Unanet. Built in about three weeks, and it is yours to keep.

Sound familiar

Staffing a project means three phone calls and a guess.

  • Somebody asks who is available, and the honest answer is that nobody knows without checking with four people.
  • Utilization shows up in a report after the month is already over.
  • A principal spends Friday night on a qualifications package instead of on the work they are good at.
  • One office turns work down while another office has people sitting idle.
  • The person who keeps all of this straight has not taken a real week off in two years.
  • You win the job and then find out you promised a staff member who was already committed.

What we build

Two jobs. One screen.

The first job is staffing. We build a screen that reads your project system and shows who is actually free, who fits the work, and why. It weighs discipline, license and registration, past project types, current load, planned time off, and who has worked with that client before. It writes one plain sentence for each pick. A person still approves it.

The second job is pursuits. The same system drafts the qualifications package from your own past wins, staffed with the real names of the people who would do the work. Your PM or marketing lead starts from a draft instead of a blank page at ten at night. A principal reviews and signs everything before it goes anywhere.

Both run on top of what you already have. We are not asking you to move off Deltek, and we would talk you out of it if you asked.

Your tools stay. Nothing gets ripped out.

What you get back

  • Who is free next month, without asking around
  • One plain sentence explaining every staffing pick
  • Utilization you can see before the month closes
  • A drafted qualifications package instead of a blank page
  • One view across every office

What happened last time

A 100-person professional services firm ran staffing for more than 200 live projects out of six tools and one manager's head. Half a day, every session. We built their system in about three weeks, with one person building. Now it takes fifteen minutes and the practice runs on it. They own the code. After we left they added quoting and account planning onto the same foundation themselves.

How it works

Four steps. About three weeks.

Three weeks is fast because this is our specialty. Most of the work is fitting a system we know well to how your firm actually runs, instead of inventing one from scratch.

01Week 0

A short call

Twenty minutes on the one job that eats the week. You get a written scope and a fixed price in three business days.

02Week 1

We watch you work

We sit with the person who does the job today and write down the rules, including the ones nobody wrote down.

03Week 2

Something real to use

Working software on your own data by week two. You react to a real thing while it is still cheap to change.

04Weeks 3-6

We hand it over

Logins, permissions, documentation. We train your team, pick an owner with you, and give you the code. Then you decide whether we go or stick around for the transition.

After we build it

You own it. We go when you say so.

Firms in this business have long memories about software they cannot change without a support ticket. This is the opposite of that. We write the documentation, train your team, and pick an internal owner with you. Then we hand over the code and the logins. It runs in your systems, under your accounts.

What happens next is your call, not ours. Some firms want us gone the day it works. Some want a few months of cover while their PMs get comfortable with it. Both are fine, and you decide after you have used it.

We hand it over and go

Documentation, training, and an owner on your side. You have the code and the accounts. Nothing to renew and nobody to call.

We stay for the transition

One to three months alongside your team while your PMs take it over. We answer questions, fix what real projects expose, and step back when your owner is ready.

You keep a line to us

A Slack channel and quick answers when something breaks. Not monitoring, and not a contract to iterate on software you already own.

You pick at the end, once you have used it. Not now.

Free, and useful either way

Tell us who your firm cannot staff a project without.

That is the whole first conversation. Twenty minutes. We map what that person is holding, what it costs you in unbilled hours, and whether software actually fixes it. You get a one-page write-up either way.

  • Twenty minutes, and we do not pitch you on the call
  • You get the write-up whether or not we work together
  • If software is the wrong answer for your firm, we will say so
  • If it is the right answer, you get a written scope and a fixed price in three business days

No slide deck. No sales team. You will be talking to the person who does the building.

A 20-minute call. You get a one-page write-up either way, whether or not we work together.
