Evidence
Safe workflow sources, context, and gaps are gathered in one secure place.
Generally availableA $1,500 business assessment · Two weeks
We find what that’s costing you and what fixing it is worth. Then, if you want, the same team builds the fix.
A standalone $1,500 diagnostic; continuing work is scoped separately. 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.
Narrated walkthrough. Sarah is the AI intake guide; analysts own the judgment.
Every $1,500 assessment produces the same report: where the hours go, what the leaks cost, which fixes pay back first — and what to leave alone. A named analyst signs every report.
Read the exact report you’d receive — structure, sourcing, and sign-off — before you spend a dollar.
Human judgment owns recommendations, priorities, and risk calls — not the AI.

A commercial construction contractor was bidding $5–8M a month and winning 2 jobs out of 7. Quotes took weeks to assemble from estimating spreadsheets, email threads, and re-keyed takeoffs — so the sharpest bids went out late while the office drowned in the paperwork of the jobs already won. The worked example walks through what an assessment finds in a business like that: where the hours go, what each week of quote lag costs, and which fixes pay back first.
An illustrative worked example with changed details — not customer results.
Your report and roadmap in one document — not a to-do list or a maturity score. Every finding is tied to something real from your business, and a human analyst signs it.

Every finding tied to a real source — a file, a screenshot, a walkthrough, a conversation — with a confidence level.
Where manual work, rework, and broken handoffs cost you time and money — quantified where the evidence allows.
Every fix ordered by what it returns first — with an explicit skip list of what not to touch.
The one workflow to change first, the expected before-and-after, and the risks to watch.
A named way to get each project done — ProcessScout, in-house, or your own advisor — with indicative cost.
Whether one workflow is enough, or your $1,500 credits toward a wider engagement — stated plainly either way.
Foothill is the first turn of the verified transformation system. The Trail Map is complete and yours even if you stop there. If you choose to continue, the work stays connected from report to build to results — evidence in. Decisions signed. Outcomes measured. Knowledge retained.
Safe workflow sources, context, and gaps are gathered in one secure place.
Generally availableAn analyst-signed Trail Map records the first move, boundaries, and recommended scope.
Foothill deliverableSelected engagements turn the agreed first move into working change with the chosen delivery path.
Selected engagementsWhere measurement is in scope, the baseline, window, evidence, and result are recorded for review.
Selected engagementsA later review can begin with the accumulated record, not a new round of ungrounded discovery.
When continuedAvailability: Foothill and its Trail Map are available today. Implementation and measurement are scoped separately on selected engagements; no recurring service is included in Foothill.
A verified operational memory connecting evidence, decisions, baselines, and measured outcomes.
It gives a later governed move the context of what your business already learned, without implying that implementation or measurement came with your Foothill Trail Map.
Anyone can draw you a flowchart. We look at the real thing — your files, exports, screenshots, recordings, and the people who actually do the work — and turn it into costed findings and a roadmap a named analyst signs. So you know what to automate first, and can see why.
Sarah is the AI guide who runs the intake. She asks how the work actually runs, follows up like a good interviewer, and organizes what you tell her for the human analyst. Mostly talking — not forms.
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.
Foothill is the $1,500 paid start. You are not buying a quiz or a teaser; you are opening a real diagnostic.
About 90 minutes with Sarah, mostly talking. Files, screenshots, and exports are optional and can come later — gaps are our job, not yours.
Your report and roadmap: what the workflow costs you, which fixes pay back first, and the recommended route — signed by a named analyst.

If the map shows Ridge, Summit, or Expedition scope, your $1,500 credits toward that work.
Most operating buyers start with Foothill; practitioners and internal teams can request direct software access. The Trail Map shows whether one trail is enough — or whether your $1,500 should climb to a wider scope.
The report is not analysis for its own sake. Every project in it is scoped to be buildable — what it takes, what it costs, and what it pays back. When you are ready to fix something, three routes start from the same report:
The team that wrote the report delivers the fix. Your $1,500 credits toward a ProcessScout-delivered engagement of $7,500 or more signed within 30 days.
Take the report in-house. It is written so someone who was not in the room can act on it.
Hand it to your own consultant, accountant, or IT partner. The report is yours either way — no lock-in.
Every Trail Map and readout is reviewed for scope, evidence quality, leakage logic, and recommended next steps before it is delivered.

Illustrative pattern — not customer results: Finance and onboarding handoffs are common first-move candidates in service firms. Your report states sources, confidence, and what not to automate.
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.
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.
