Evidence-backed automation decisions for the mid-market

Know what to automate first — and why.

ProcessScout turns workflow evidence into an analyst-signed Trail Map: where time and money leak, what to fix first, and what it will take. Foothill starts at $1,500 and credits toward a larger scope.

If ProcessScout cannot identify at least three evidence-backed opportunities from the evidence supplied through a good-faith Foothill intake, the Foothill fee is refunded under the Terms. Your $1,500 credits toward a larger scope.

THE DELIVERABLE · WHAT FOOTHILL PRODUCES

The Trail Map

Your Trail Map is a complete report you can act on — not a to-do list or a maturity score. Every finding is tied to evidence. A human analyst signs off.

Sample ProcessScout Trail Map — an analyst-signed report cover
A real, redacted sample — signed off by an analyst.

Evidence register

Every finding tied to a real source — an upload, a screenshot, a walkthrough — with a confidence level.

Leakage map

Where manual work, rework, and broken handoffs cost you time and money — quantified where the evidence allows.

Ranked opportunities

Automation candidates ordered by payback — with an explicit skip list of what not to touch.

The first move

The one workflow to change first, the expected before-and-after, and the risks to watch.

Implementation path

A named way to get it done — in-house, a vetted partner, or your own advisor — with indicative cost.

Recommended scope

Whether one trail (Foothill) is enough, or your $1,500 credits toward Ridge, Summit, or Expedition.

THE CLOSED LOOP

Map. Deploy. Monitor. Prove.

The Trail Map is not the finish line. It is the first step in a closed loop: evidence in, a decision out, a first change deployed, and the result verified.

THE ONLY REAL DIFFERENCE

Most tools give you pretty maps. ProcessScout gives you proof.

ProcessScout does not just generate diagrams or AI suggestions. We collect evidence from documents, workflows, systems, screenshots, recordings, and stakeholder input. Then we turn that evidence into scored findings, quantified opportunities, and an analyst-signed roadmap.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONVERSATION

Inside the assessment room, Sarah helps surface what matters.

Sarah is not a generic support chatbot. She guides the evidence collection, asks useful follow-up questions, helps you describe real workflows, and prepares context for analyst review.

Advisory, not generic.
Sarah asks about workflows, evidence, blockers, systems, and repeated manual work — not generic AI prompts.
Context preserved.
Files, answers, screenshots, recordings, and participant input become part of the assessment evidence trail.
Analyst-ready.
Sarah helps structure the context so a human analyst can review, prioritize, and sign off the final report.
The panel is a scripted preview. Your real session is guided live by Sarah — your workflows, your files, your evidence trail.

HOW IT WORKS

What ProcessScout Foothill includes.

Foothill is a $1,500 workflow diagnostic. It delivers an analyst-signed Trail Map and walkthrough. The Trail Map is a complete deliverable even if you never expand scope. When the evidence shows a wider engagement is warranted, the $1,500 credits toward Ridge, Summit or Expedition if you choose to proceed.

01 START
Start Foothill.

Foothill is the $1,500 paid start. You are not buying a quiz or a teaser; you are opening a real diagnostic.

02 INTAKE
Open the evidence room.

Sarah gathers workflow context, files, screenshots, systems, handoffs, entities, and evidence gaps.

03 MAP
Receive the Trail Map.

The Trail Map is the evidence-backed report: scope, headline leakage, evidence quality, and the recommended route.

04 ROUTE
Choose the route.

If scope fits one workflow family or function, the Trail Map is your complete Foothill deliverable.

05 CREDIT
Credit upward if needed.

If the map shows Ridge, Summit, or Expedition scope, your $1,500 credits toward that work.

ONE PAID START · FOUR SCOPES

The Trail Map routes you to the right scope.

Most operating buyers start with Foothill; practitioners and internal teams can request direct platform access. The Trail Map shows whether one trail is enough — or whether your $1,500 should climb to a wider scope.

YOUR HUMAN ANALYST

Sarah organizes the room. A human owns the judgment.

Every Trail Map and readout is reviewed for scope, evidence quality, leakage logic, and recommended next steps before it is delivered.

THE PARTNER MARKETPLACE

Need help implementing the roadmap?

Start with the Trail Map. Then use the scoped evidence internally, with your advisor, or — where available — with a curated partner work package. Matching and commercial terms vary by engagement.

WHERE FOOTHILL STARTS

Finance & admin operations first.

Invoice and AR chasing, reporting consolidation, approvals, CRM/accounting re-keying, month-end, and quote-to-cash handoffs — repetitive, evidence-rich workflows where a Foothill diagnostic proves value fastest.

Start with proof,
not promises.
