Find out what's eating your week, in one week

You know time is being lost, you just can't say where. The Rouage audit tells you, in writing, within a week: which tasks take the most hours, what AI can take over, and which quick wins to start with.

Who it's for

For owners who are still the bottleneck

You run a team of 10 to 100 people, with no IT department or just one person. Requests, quotes and follow-ups still go through you or a few key people, and every new hire adds more of the same.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

What if the audit finds nothing worth automating?

Then the report says so, and you've spent a week instead of a budget. We'd rather tell you honestly than build something you don't need.

Do we have to work with you after the audit?

No. The report is yours, written so that any team could act on it.

Can the audit be done remotely?

Yes. It can run entirely by video call and screen sharing.

Do I need technical staff?

No. We build, document and maintain everything. You need one person who knows the process and can give us an hour a week.
