Every system we build starts the same way: one page.
We call it the software map. It answers the only question that matters: if we owned your company, what app would we build? Thirty minutes on a video call, screen-shared, walking your operation. It goes on one page. You keep it. (on its own, the map is a $2,000 engagement — it opens every fitting we do.)
A real one
This week: Roxanne, a wholesale plant nursery in central Louisiana. Trucks, crews, fifteen brokers texting orders in fifteen formats. The business lives in eight places at once — a QuickBooks she never opens, Google Sheets, Apple Notes screenshots texted to the crew, a drawer of old invoices, and her own memory.
The week before we met, one hand-copied order missed its last line. Forty-four plants nearly didn't make the truck to Austin. Healthy business. Wrong software.
Here's the map:
How to read it
The top is today — every place the business lives, in the owner's own words. Most businesses find eight. Yours has a list like this whether it's written down or not.
The middle is the map: each piece, replaced by one part of one system. Texted orders become paste-in intake where every line is captured and anything unrecognized flags red — never silently dropped. That rule exists because of those 44 plants. Handwritten pull sheets become printed ones with trailer assignments on them. Who-owes-you stops hiding in the bookkeeper's QuickBooks and stands on one screen, oldest first, every morning.
The tags — built, next, later — are the tell. A real map states its order. A promise of everything at once is a brochure.
After the map
The map becomes the system. Here is the intake box from the middle of the map, running: an order pasted exactly as it came in, eight lines in, eight captured, the one it didn't recognize held in red instead of dropped. The screen shows demo data. The rule is hers — those 44 plants.
The system runs beside the old software, penny-matched against it every night, and nothing switches until the numbers match and the owner says go. That's how we move a business: without betting it.
The system is yours. The code and the data, one hundred percent. The price is public — $3,000 per month plus $2,000 one-time migration & setup, month to month. Nobody rents you your own business back.
