Digital & operational consultancy
Tools and routines that fit how you already work.
We help one-person studios and small teams sort out the digital side of running a business — the workflow, the software, the paperwork and the week-to-week admin — without replacing everything you have.
The January review window is open.
We hold six review slots each quarter — a fixed 45-minute call where
we look at what you run today and say plainly whether a project makes sense.

Studio overflow
Freelance capacity for busy agencies
Studios and agencies bring us in when their own pipeline is full.
Same written outputs, same fixed bands, white-labelled if you prefer.
How we work with studios
From the workbench
Field notes 12: tools you can leave
A short series on choosing software that survives a busy week
— and what it costs to walk away when it does not.

How an engagement is shaped
The same three deliverables, in the order most engagements take.
01 Current state
We map what actually happens.
Every tool, every hand-off, every place a job waits. You get a written picture of the
workflow as it is, not as the manual says it is.
See the workflow service
02 Changes worth making
One short list, ordered by effort.
Not a transformation programme. The two or three changes that pay back first, with the
cost and the person responsible written beside each one.
See the process service
03 Handover
You keep the documentation.
Setup notes, account and permission lists, and a short written guide so the system
survives after we stop working together.
See the operations serviceSmall business first, always.
We only take on clients we can serve well as a small practice. That means short engagements, plain language, a written handover at the end of every piece of work, and no commission from any software we recommend.
Who you would be working with
Start where it hurts.
First step
A short review call, £45–75.
We look at what you are running today and agree whether a project
makes sense at all. No proposal if it does not.
What you end up with
A written handover, every time.
What changed, what it costs to keep running, and who does what
next — in a document you can hand to somebody else.
Questions
Ten things clients ask first.
Scope, fees, who owns the documentation, what happens if you stop,
and how remote work is handled.
