Current-state workflow map
Steps, owners, tools, handoffs, exceptions, and the places where work waits or repeats.
Workflow Opportunity Sprint
Know what to improve—before paying to build it.
A fixed-scope diagnostic for one recurring workflow. Map how it works, estimate the economics, and leave with an independent implementation brief your business owns.
Decision model
Is this workflow worth changing?
FrequencyHow often the work occurs
Time & loaded costWhat the current effort costs
Errors & opportunityWhat delay, rework, or missed response creates
Build & change effortWhat implementation and adoption require
The recommendation may be automate, simplify, defer, or do nothing.
What you receive
Opportunity economics
A transparent estimate of time, cost, impact, implementation effort, and what must be measured.
Independent implementation brief
Recommended approach, risks, integrations, success measure, and estimated delivery range in an editable document you own.
Circuit can implement the recommendation, but you can also take the findings to your existing team or another provider. Any build credit is stated in the fixed-fee proposal before the Sprint begins.
Typical shape
1–2 weeks, with a small client commitment.
- 60-minute owner or process-lead kickoff
- 2–4 short stakeholder conversations
- Review of representative tools, documents, and constraints
- 60-minute findings and decision session
Commercial path
Clear terms before work starts.
- Fixed scope and fixed fee in the proposal
- Client owns the workflow map and implementation brief
- Optional focused pilot priced separately
- Optional month-to-month improvement support—no automatic retainer
Good fit
One recurring problem with a decision owner.
- Work is repetitive, delayed, error-prone, or difficult to see
- The people doing the work can participate
- There is a baseline or outcome worth measuring
- Leadership is willing to change the process—not only buy software
Not a fit
A predetermined tool looking for justification.
- A request for a company-wide transformation plan in 1 week
- No access to the process owner or representative work
- A requirement to promise savings before establishing a baseline
- A workflow where legal, safety, or employment decisions cannot retain human accountability
