The Blocpod Bottleneck Diagnostic

Bring us the bottleneck.

One workflow. One honest answer. This is not a sales call with a slide deck. It is a structured look at one piece of work that costs too much, moves too slowly, passes through too many hands, or depends on one person. It ends with a clear recommendation, and “leave it alone” is one of the possible answers.

The form

Tell us what happens today.

Plain language is perfect. Describe it the way you would to a colleague. Nine fields, none of them a trick, and a person reads every one.

What happens next

  1. We read what you sent and think about whether it is a fit.
  2. If it looks like a real opportunity, we schedule the diagnostic with you and the people who do the work.
  3. You get a clear recommendation: automate it, connect your existing tools, redesign the process, give your people better help, build something new, or leave it alone.
About you
The workflow

Read by people. Used only to assess this workflow.

What the diagnostic examines

Nine questions we answer about your workflow.

The point is not to squeeze AI into your workflow. It is to work out, with numbers you could defend to your CFO, which of these six answers is the right one.

  • Automate it
  • Connect the tools
  • Redesign the process
  • Help the people
  • Build something new
  • Leave it alone
  1. Where the workflow starts and where it ends
  2. Where the work waits, and who is carrying it today
  3. How much of it is routine, and how much needs judgment
  4. Which information and which systems it depends on
  5. Which decisions must stay with a person, and who that person is
  6. What the system would need to connect to
  7. What number should improve, and how we would measure it
  8. What the workflow costs today, and what it could save, with our confidence stated plainly
  9. What we recommend you do next
