Money Leak Assessment

Find the manual work costing
your business time and revenue.

Key's Touch identifies the repetitive workflows slowing your team down, builds the AI and automation systems that remove them, and installs those systems in the tools you already use. It starts with a free 15-minute Discovery Call: we listen, find the likely leaks, and tell you honestly whether they are worth fixing.

What the path looks like. The Discovery Call is a brief fit conversation, free, 15 minutes, no obligation. When deeper workflow analysis is needed, the next step is the $1,500 Money Leak Assessment, which credits toward implementation. Implementation engagements generally range from $10,000 to $25,000 through the AI Operations Accelerator, with the optional AI Performance Partnership after launch.

3 minutes: where your hours are going, and how they come back

You can feel the waste. You just can't see the number.

Someone on your team spends their morning copying data between two systems. Reports get rebuilt by hand every week. New clients take days to onboard because it's all manual. You keep meaning to fix it, but nobody has time to figure out where to start.

  • A team member's whole job is “copy this from System A into System B.”
  • Reports get assembled by hand every week or month.
  • Growth is being met by hiring more admin instead of better systems.
What that costs a typical 25-person operation: $60,000 to $120,000 a year in salaried hours spent on work that could be automated. It doesn't show up as a line item. It shows up as slow growth, burned-out staff, and “we need to hire another admin.”

Paid: Money Leak Assessment ($1,500)

We review your workflows end to end, identify the bottlenecks costing you the most time and revenue, and deliver a prioritized Money Leak Blueprint.

Up to six workflows observed and mapped, per-leak ROI and payback, a written Findings Report, and a live 60-minute readout.

$1,500 · credits 100% toward the build within 30 days

The Assessment effectively pays for itself. Proceed to implementation within 30 days and the full $1,500 comes straight off your build price, so for clients who move forward, the Blueprint was free.

The Money Leak Blueprint: every leak, priced to the dollar.

We break each core workflow into steps, tag where time and accuracy leak out, and flag what's fixable with AI or automation. Then we put a real number on it.

Map every step

Each workflow decomposed into trigger, actions, and handoffs, with who does it, which tool, minutes per run, and how often.

Classify the leak

Every step tagged Automatable, AI-assist, Human-required, or Eliminate, so you know exactly what's addressable.

Price the recovery

Hours saved × loaded cost, plus error savings, rolled up to an annual figure with a payback period per fix.

Redacted example: a marketing agency's weekly reporting was leaking ~$48,000/year. On the ROI model, recovering it paid back the build in ~5 months at roughly 452% ROI over 3 years.
Illustrative estimate. Every figure in a real Money Leak Assessment is sourced and labeled measured vs. estimated.

Read-only during the assessment · every number sourced · conservative, bounded claims only

Costed, prioritized, and yours to keep.

  • Money Leak Blueprint: every core workflow broken down step by step, with the exact places time and money escape.
  • Workflow Scorecard: your processes scored and ranked so you know what to fix first.
  • ROI Analysis: hours saved × loaded cost, error savings, and payback for each fix.
  • Findings Report + live readout: a clear, costed, prioritized roadmap your team can act on.
  • Prioritized roadmap: sequenced quick wins (0 to 30 days), foundational builds (30 to 90), and strategic (90+).
  • $1,500 credit: applied toward the build if you move forward within 30 days.
You own it outright. Even if you never build with us, the report, the map, and the roadmap are yours. No subscription, no lock-in, no generic tooling. Just your actual workflows, in your actual stack.

Three steps. You always know what's next.

Start with a free call, map it in two weeks, and only build if the numbers say go.

We label what's measured versus estimated. No hype, bounded claims only.

The questions owners actually ask.

What happens on the Discovery Call?

The call is 15 minutes and free. We listen to how your business runs, find 1-2 suspected bottlenecks, and confirm whether a Money Leak Assessment makes sense. No pitch, no obligation.

What if we don't want to build anything?

Then you keep the Money Leak Blueprint and act on it yourself. You own the findings outright, with no obligation to build with us.

How much time does it take from my team?

The Discovery Call is 15 minutes. The full Money Leak Assessment is roughly 2 to 4 hours total across a couple of staff, spread over two weeks.

Do you touch our live systems?

No. The assessment is read-only. We diagnose first and only build later if you say go.

We're in a regulated industry.

Good. We scope compliance up front, flag regulated or sensitive data explicitly in the Blueprint, and can sign an NDA or BAA as needed. US-based.

What does the $1,500 Money Leak Assessment get me?

Up to six workflows fully mapped, every leak priced, a ROI model with payback, a prioritized Money Leak Blueprint report, and a live 60-minute findings readout. It credits 100% toward a build if you proceed within 30 days.

What if you don't find much?

Even a lean Assessment still hands you the Blueprint, the ROI model, and a roadmap you keep. We scope it up front so you know the value before you commit, and if you move forward, the $1,500 credits 100% toward the build.

Let's find your money leak.
