How much of your business could run without you?

A free assessment for small business owners. Tell it how your week runs and it works out what the manual work costs you in hours and dollars, which parts you can fix yourself, and the order to do them in.

Try it on one job first.

What is one job costing you a year?

A sentence and five taps.

Pick a job, how often it happens, and how long it takes. The number appears here.

Know what the busy work costs.

There are jobs in your week that only get done because you do them. Chasing a quote. Re-typing an invoice. Answering the same question for the tenth time.

The assessment adds those up from your own answers and puts a yearly cost on them, in hours and in dollars. It rounds down at every step, so the real cost is at least the number you see.

Twenty-one questions. Then a written answer.

The assessment asks how work reaches you, what happens between an enquiry and getting paid, and what tools you run on. It takes about five minutes, and the report has three parts.

  • What is working, and the one thing holding it back

    The report starts with what your business does well, then names the one constraint that costs you the most time.

  • Three to eight specific opportunities

    Each one says what would change, roughly what it takes, what it gives back per year, and whether you can do it yourself.

  • An order to do them in

    Now, next and later. Fixes that free up time come before fixes that take time.

What the report tells you to do

Every fix is sorted by what it is worth to you and what it would take. Each one gets one of three labels.

Too early

The manual work is not costing you much yet. The report names one or two habits to set up while things are small.

You can do this yourself

A tool you already own, or a free one, can handle it. The report says which to do first and which can wait.

This needs a build

Some fixes need software written or systems joined up. The report places each one in your order and says which to plan for first.

Player Piano AI

Who runs this

Hello. We are Player Piano AI, a small automation studio in Toronto. We built Lemonade Stand because the first question every owner asks us is the same one: is any of this worth automating?

The assessment answers that in writing. Most of the time the answer is that you can handle it yourself. When the report finds work that needs a build, it says so and may offer a free call with us. Either way, the report is yours to keep.
