Law firmsThe Time-Back Audit — $999 · now booking

The Time-Back Audit for law firms.

Every admin hour is a billable hour you gave away. At partner rates, that's six figures a year.

A partner billing $400/hr who loses eight hours a week to intake, document chasing, and drafting admin is donating $150k+ a year of billable capacity. The $999 Time-Back Audit finds those hours, prescribes the off-the-shelf tools that put them back on the clock — and speeds up intake enough to sign the cases you're currently losing to faster firms.

The leak

Where billable hours become admin.

Typical drain
12.5 hrs / wk

Every leaked hour in a firm has a rate attached. None of what's below is legal work — it's logistics, billed at $0, done by people who bill in six minutes.

Intake that loses signed cases

Prospects call three firms; the first to respond usually signs. An inquiry sitting in the queue overnight is a case you paid marketing for and gave away.

Partners doing paralegal work

Document sorting, status chasing, calendar wrangling — done at $400/hr because it felt faster than delegating.

Document drafting from scratch

Engagement letters, standard motions, discovery requests — templated in theory, rewritten and re-reviewed in practice.

Chasing client documents

Three reminder emails per document, per matter — composed by fee earners with better things to bill.

Matter status updates

"Any news on my case?" answered one email at a time, all week long.

Typical week per fee earner. At $400/hr, five recovered hours a week is over $100k a year of billable capacity — per lawyer.

Every prescription in your report is off-the-shelf, priced, and chosen for the team you actually have — including a short list of what not to buy.

How it works

From leak to capacity, in four steps.

One week from booking to your first hours back. No discovery phase, no retainer, no "AI transformation roadmap."

Booking → first hour

The guarantee

Find 5 hours or pay nothing.

The risk sits on our side of the table.

Certificate
G-001

If we can't find at least 5 hours per week of recoverable time in your business, you pay nothing — full refund, and you keep the report.

No fine print, no store credit, no "reasonable effort" clause. If the audit doesn't pay for itself on paper before you've implemented a single tool, it's free.

  • 5 hrs/week per person — the measurable floor
  • Full refund if we miss it, no argument
  • You keep the written prescription either way

Your prescription is written by someone who takes it themselves.

I'm not a consultant who discovered ChatGPT last quarter. I've built six B2B SaaS companies — LeadCart, ZenVerifier, ColdRelay, NuMail, InboxSlash, OutboundPass — and AI does real work in all of them, every day: support drafts, outbound, reporting, QA.

That's the job I do for you in the audit. I look at how your business actually runs, find the hours leaking out through proposals, follow-ups, and reporting, and tell you exactly which off-the-shelf tools to install, in what order — and what to skip.

The tools already exist. You don't need a data scientist. You need a doctor who's seen your symptoms before and writes the prescription. If I can't find you five hours a week, you don't pay.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Questions
11
Q.01What about confidentiality and privilege?+
It's the first filter on every prescription. We favor tools with the right controls — SOC 2, data-processing agreements, no training on your data — and the report explicitly flags what should and shouldn't touch each tool. The audit itself never requires sharing client files with us.
Q.02Will this fly with our ethics obligations?+
Every prescription keeps a lawyer in the loop: nothing files, sends, or advises unreviewed. The tools draft, chase, and organize — the judgment, supervision, and signature stay exactly where your obligations require them to be.
Q.03What exactly do I get for $999?+
A 45-minute deep-dive call, an AI-assisted analysis of your workflows, a written prescription report (the exact tools, their costs, and the rollout order), a capacity ROI model in your numbers, a 30-minute review call, and a 4-day quick-start plan. If we find under 5 hours a week of recoverable time, you get a full refund and keep the report.
Q.04Do you build custom AI or sell software?+
Neither. Think of it like a doctor writing prescriptions — the medicine already exists, and our job is knowing which one fits your symptoms. We prescribe off-the-shelf tools, we don't take affiliate commissions, and we have no software of our own to push.
Q.05You sell capacity — so why is the guarantee in hours?+
Because hours are the thing we can prove on paper before you spend another dollar. Capacity and revenue depend on what you do with the hours; the 5-hour floor is the measurable proxy that makes the promise safe to guarantee — and safe for you to hold us to.
Q.06What if you can't find 5 hours a week?+
Then the audit is free. Full refund, and you keep the report. It hasn't happened yet — most small businesses are leaking well past 10 hours per person — but the risk is ours, not yours.
Q.07We already use ChatGPT. Is this still worth it?+
Almost every client already uses ChatGPT — as a chat window. The hours aren't in better prompting; they're in wiring AI into your actual workflows: proposals, reporting, follow-up, intake. That's what the prescription covers, and it's usually 90% tools you've never evaluated.
Q.08Do I need technical people on my team?+
No. Every prescription is chosen for the team you actually have. If a tool needs an engineer to babysit it, it doesn't make the report.
Q.09How is this different from hiring an AI consultant?+
Consultants bill hours to explore. We sell a fixed outcome at a fixed price with a guarantee: 5+ recoverable hours a week per person identified, or you pay nothing. The whole engagement is under two weeks, not two quarters — and it costs about 1.5% of the junior hire it replaces.
Q.10How fast do I actually see time back?+
The quick-start plan is designed to get your first prescription live within 4 days of the review call. Most clients feel the first recovered hours in week one.
Q.11What happens after the audit?+
Whatever you want. Most clients implement the report themselves — it's written so you can. If you'd rather hand it off, we offer done-for-you implementation and a capped ongoing concierge; you'll get those details after your review call, and your $999 is credited in full toward implementation within 30 days.
