Fix the workflow handoff.

Bring one workflow that keeps stalling, coming back, or losing an owner. We find the break worth fixing before you spend on automation.

PLAN A FREE 30-MINUTE REVIEW

Work breaks between steps.

A good lead waits, a usable draft returns, or an issue reaches everyone except an owner.

A good lead waits.

Context sits in one tool while follow-up waits in another. Response time slips before anyone notices.

Qualified lead stalled before follow-up A verified contact record reaches a broken follow-up handoff while a clock records the growing wait. QUALIFIED LEAD FOLLOW-UP

The draft comes back.

The request, source material, and approval standard arrive separately. Review becomes another round of reconstruction.

Draft returned because approval context is detached A draft reaches review, is marked incomplete, and returns along the rejection route. DRAFT REVIEW RETURNED

No one owns the issue.

The alert exists, but the decision and escalation path do not. Everyone sees it; nobody is accountable.

Issue seen by everyone but assigned to no owner An issue alert branches to three notified teammates while a separate assignment route ends at an empty owner slot marked unassigned. ISSUE SEEN BY ALL OWNER UNASSIGNED

One lead signal. Every handoff accounted for.

Representative route: research a buying signal, score customer fit, pause unclear evidence, then update CRM and alert the assigned rep. Failed updates retry and alert the owner.

Representative lead-signal workflow

The signal matches the agreed customer-fit rules

Account context and customer-fit score reach the assigned rep in CRM.

An ambiguous score waits for a person before outreach begins.

A failed CRM update retries, then alerts the workflow owner.

Know the work before we build.

Four stages leave your team with a workflow map, agreed build route, review and recovery rules, and a before-and-after measurement plan.

Plan a workflow review
How the engagement works
Workflow map Priority agreed

Find the failure worth fixing.

Trace the people, tools, delays, exceptions, and rework. Agree one workflow owner, one baseline, and one primary outcome.

System route Scope fixed

Agree every step before build begins.

Inputs, integrations, decision rules, retries, and the final destination go into one written scope.

Review and recovery Limits named

Put people where consequences need judgment.

Ambiguous or high-consequence work pauses for a named reviewer. Failures retry, alert, and route to the agreed manual fallback.

Measurement plan Baseline agreed

Measure the same workflow before and after.

Baseline, throughput, failures, corrections, cost per run, and the primary business outcome are agreed before launch.

Your team owns what we build.

You control production accounts. Client data is not used to train AI models. We hand over the workflow, code, configuration, prompts, documentation, and runbook.

What your team receives

Clear enough to explain. Ready for your team to run.

Your team controls production access and can operate the workflow without ongoing AfterMachines support.

Four things stay visible

  • A named client ownerWho approves changes and handles exceptions.
  • Human reviewWhich decisions pause, and who decides.
  • Recovery behaviorWhat retries, alerts, and falls back.
  • An operating recordCode, configuration, prompts, runbook, and changes.

Fixed scope. Clear stop points.

Three separate decisions: diagnose the workflow, build the agreed automation, then add ongoing care only if it is useful.

01

Diagnostic Sprint

USD · fixed · paid upfront 1–2 weeks with timely access

Leave with a decision-ready plan.

  • Workflow map
  • Baseline + ROI case
  • Priority action plan
02

System Build

USD · fixed · 50% to start, 50% at acceptance 2–4 weeks after scope and access are agreed

Ship one agreed automation for a defined workflow against written acceptance criteria.

  • Architecture + production build
  • QA, monitoring + runbook
  • 14 days of launch support + handover
Optional · After launch

Optimization Retainer

USD · monthly in advance

Keep one live workflow healthy and improve it deliberately.

  • Monitoring + health review
  • One prioritized improvement cycle
  • One-business-day response

Paid work begins with the Diagnostic. Third-party software and usage costs stay separate and require approval.

Plan the free review

Straight answers about fit, ownership, and risk.

Why does paid work begin with a Diagnostic Sprint?

It fixes the workflow, outcome, scope, and stop decision before build money is at risk. It is a separate engagement, not a credit toward the Build. You keep the map, baseline, ROI case, and action plan even if you stop there.

Is ongoing support required?

No. Launch includes 14 days of support. The monthly retainer is optional, and the handover is designed for operation without it.

What does our team own?

Your team owns the delivered workflow, code, configuration, prompts, documentation, runbook, and client data. Production accounts stay under your control.

What happens when the workflow fails?

The written scope names retry behavior, owner alerts, and the manual fallback. High-consequence or ambiguous work pauses for a person.

Can you repair a workflow already built in Zapier, Make, or n8n?

Yes. The first question is whether the workflow should be repaired, simplified, or replaced. AfterMachines is not tied to one automation tool.

Do we need to replace our current tools?

Usually not. We begin inside the tools your team already uses, then change only what the agreed workflow requires.

When is AI unnecessary?

When a rule can handle the work reliably. AI is reserved for variable inputs that need analysis; deterministic steps remain deterministic.

Can AfterMachines work with teams outside the US?

Yes. AfterMachines is US-first and available worldwide. Access, working hours, and review timing are agreed before work begins.

AfterMachines is an AI workflow automation consultancy for B2B, agency, and service teams. It diagnoses one costly workflow, builds the agreed automation, and hands over a client-owned system.

Bring one workflow costing time, money, or attention.

Before the free 30-minute review, note where work starts, stalls, and needs a decision. You leave with a fit decision and recommended next step.
