AI that earns its keep.
Missed inquiries, slow quotes, follow-ups nobody owns. We map the workflow that’s costing you the most, price it in your own numbers, and hand you the one fix worth doing first.

6 · Where your week is going
The first fixOne owner and one follow-up date on every quote.
Live in two weeks. Pays for this audit inside the first month — then keeps paying.
Note: figures are the owner’s own estimates, taken during the audit interview.
Who this is for
You’ve seen what it can do. You don’t know what to use, where to start, or how to do it without breaking something that matters. That’s not a failing; there are a thousand tools and no straight answers. A diagnosis beats a guess.
Inquiries arrive in five places. Quotes go out late and nobody chases them. Nothing moves unless you push it. What you’re after isn’t AI — it’s a week that runs without you chasing it.
Either way, the starting point is the same: find out where the hours are going before anyone builds anything.

The fee, explained
Plenty of AI outfits will audit your business for free. Here’s the problem with free: a free auditor only gets paid if the audit ends with you buying something. The verdict is written before anyone looks at your workflow.
Paid means independent. Our only product that day is the answer. Sometimes the answer is “don’t build anything yet” — and we can afford to say it.
It’s actual work, not a sales call. A recorded interview, hours inside your real workflow, a written report priced in your own numbers — not a pitch with a price tag on it.
It’s the cheap way to test us. A fixed price and a fixed scope — see exactly how we work before you ever consider spending build money.
The honest comparison is your own hours. Five hours a week is 250+ hours a year back in the business. Weigh $999 against what those hours are worth to you — the fixed scope and standardized method are what keep the price low.
The pledge
I’m Mathew Bailey, and ShireWorks is me. The person who maps your workflow is the person who builds the fix and picks up the phone afterwards. No account managers, no handoffs.
Every system I recommend is one I run first — ShireWorks operates day-to-day on the same AI systems I build for clients. And because I’m early, the risk sits with me, not you: if the audit doesn’t find at least 5 hours a week I can give you back, you don’t pay — and the report is yours to keep either way.
Receipts
Our first client engagements are in delivery now. Until their results are measured and signed off, here’s what’s verifiably real — no stock testimonials, ever.
A full quoting and materials workflow: the price book verified line by line against the current supplier list, quote logic tested against 40+ real job configurations, and the equipment supply chain reviewed across three manufacturers.
Capture, compile, reporting and client operations run day-to-day on the same AI systems we sell — every recommendation in an audit is something we’ve run ourselves first.
As engagements complete, this section becomes case studies with client-approved figures. If a number appears here, the client signed off on it.
Named client references publish only with written permission.
First, the diagnosis
Most owners we talk to aren’t short of AI ideas — they’re short of hours, and no tool fixes a workflow nobody has mapped.
Start here
One workflow that’s costing you real money. A recorded discovery call, a written report, and a sit-down walkthrough of what we found — and exactly what to do about it.
If the audit doesn’t identify at least 5 hours a week we can give you back, you don’t pay — and the report is yours to keep either way. You see the full terms, in plain writing, before you pay.
What it checks
The audit goes deep on one recurring workflow. It checks the real path, what it’s costing you, the people who own it, and the data it depends on.
Inputs, steps, people, output, delays, errors and the point where work gets stuck.
Hours, internal cost, missed follow-up, rework or risk using numbers you can inspect.
A named person who runs the workflow, and data we actually saw — not assumed.
5–7 days
You book, pay, and get a five-minute questionnaire. Send whatever already exists — forms, templates, the emails you keep rewriting. Don’t create anything new.
We map one recurring workflow as it actually happens — not as the paperwork says it should.
We organize the evidence, reject weak claims, and write the recommendation — checked by a person, not shipped by a model.
We sit down together and walk through the recommendation, the math, and the build plan — exactly what to do next.
The written report
The report is designed to make one decision clearer — and to give you the numbers to act on it.
What working with us looks like
We map the workflow that’s costing you the most and name the best first fix.
The fix the audit recommends — scope, price, and timeline set out in a separate build proposal, pass/fail criteria agreed before work starts, and your sign-off on anything that reaches a client.
We stay on it after delivery — keeping the system healthy, tuned, and improving as your business changes. One honest page each month: what ran, what changed, what’s next.
You stay in control
FAQ
A paid, focused look at one workflow that’s costing you real money and time. We map what actually happens, price the leak, and give you one clear recommendation with the math behind it — plus a scoped plan to build the fix.
A free audit is a sales call — the person doing it only gets paid if you say yes at the end. Ours has to be worth the money on its own, and the guarantee holds us to it: if the audit doesn’t identify at least 5 hours a week we can give you back, you don’t pay.
No. We start with how the work actually moves — who touches it, where it stalls, what needs your sign-off. Tools come after the problem is clear.
No. The audit is about how work moves through your business — inquiries, quotes, follow-up — not about technology. We speak plainly the whole way through.
The report stands on its own. If the numbers support a Build, you get a separate fixed-scope proposal — its own price, agreed pass/fail criteria, your sign-off built in. Support and Optimization can follow after delivery.
Sometimes the verdict is ‘don’t build anything yet’ — and we’d rather say so than sell you a system that won’t earn its keep.
The standard price is CAD $999; US and UK clients are quoted in USD or GBP. The audit includes a recorded discovery call, a written report, and a sit-down walkthrough of what we found — all inside a 5–7 day delivery window.
No. We go deep on one recurring workflow rather than skimming the whole business. If we spot other opportunities along the way, we note them — clearly marked as leads, not verified findings.
If the audit doesn’t identify at least 5 hours a week we can give you back, you don’t pay — and the report is yours to keep either way. The full terms are written in plain English in the audit agreement; you see them before you pay.
