See what it involvesFive questions before any of it
This is what we run on an intake call. Three or more answers on the build side and it is worth scoping. Fewer and we will tell you to keep paying the subscription.
- 01
Has the workflow been stable for six months without major changes?
Yes → Build risk is lower and the engineering hours pay back faster.
No → Defer. Volatile workflows burn rebuild budget.
- 02
Does the team work around the tool’s limits every week?
Yes → High. The workaround tax compounds and is the real cost.
No → The SaaS fits the workflow. Keep buying it.
- 03
Is the recurring cost above $300 a month per team using it?
Yes → Break-even typically lands inside 12 to 18 months.
No → A build will not pay back fast enough. Leave it.
- 04
Could a senior engineer rebuild the used 80% in under 60 hours?
Yes → The scope is real. Move to the cost math.
No → The scope is hidden, so either you use more of the tool than you think or there is real moat under the UI.
- 05
Would losing the tool today put a compliance or payroll deadline at risk?
Yes → Critical compliance role. Replacing it is the wrong fight.
No → No compliance gate. Free to rebuild.
Questions answered
- 01
Which lane are we in?
If the thing you want gone is a tool you pay for every month, that is lane one. If it is work a person does by hand every week because no product does it cleanly, that is lane two. If it is both, the scoping call sorts it, and the five questions below are what we use to do that.
- 02
How do you decide whether something is worth building?
The five questions above, run on an intake call. Three or more answers on the build side is a candidate. The one that gets skipped most often is stability: a workflow still being argued about will change shape before the code is finished.
- 03
What does it cost?
One workflow starts at $500 and a system that replaces a stack starts at $2,500, quoted against a fixed written scope before any code is written. The builds published on this site ran between $3,400 and $14,500 depending on how many systems the work had to touch.
- 04
What do we own at the end?
The repository, the deployment and the API accounts, in your name. No per-seat licensing and nothing to renew. What you pay afterwards is the API bill.
Still paying for tools you could own?
We replace the SaaS stack and the manual ops work eating your team's time. One custom system, owned by you.
