Find the work keeping you trapped in your business, discover what should be delegated or automated, and build the system to get your time back.
Answer the first question and the diagnosis starts building.
Not because you are disorganised. Because every process that has no owner defaults to the person who cares most. That is you.
A typical founder week — 55 hours
Benchmark composition drawn from the Buy Back Your Week task library. Your own numbers replace these in the audit.
Most founders can name the feeling but not the size of it. The audit converts your week into one number: the hours realistically recoverable once each task has a decision.
It is a modeled estimate built from your own inputs and published assumptions — recovery factors per decision type, discounted by how documented and delegation-ready your business currently is. It shows size and direction, never a guaranteed saving.

Every recurring task gets exactly one of four decisions. A task without a decision defaults back to you. Try it — sort a real one.
Each task carries three attributes in our knowledge base: founder value, repeatability and automatability. The rules are deterministic — the same task and the same context always produce the same decision, so you can argue with it and it will not change its mind to please you.
| Signal | Decision |
|---|---|
| Founder value 4–5 | Keep |
| Low value, high repeatability, rule-based | Automate |
| Low value, needs a human touch | Delegate |
| Low value, low volume, no shape | Eliminate |
The audit maps your actual tasks, scores where you are the bottleneck and calculates your buy-back potential.
Keep, delegate, automate or eliminate. With the reasoning and the hours attached to each line.
Role brief, test assignment, SOPs, access checklist, onboarding plan, metrics, escalation rules, 30-day plan.
Once the system exists and is proven, execution moves — first to a person, progressively to AI.
Not a course. Not a PDF. A workspace that is already filled in from your audit — so you never start from a blank page.
Autonomy is earned, in humans and in software alike. Approval on everything, then approval on exceptions, then reporting only.
Audit, decisions, and the personalised system that makes delegation actually work.
Persistent business context, SOP execution, scheduled jobs and approvals — running the system you built.
Objective → diagnosis → plan → approval → build → monitor. Only after the earlier layers have proven reliable.
We build the assistant around the jobs people actually ask us to run. Tell us yours by joining.
Not "delegate more". A line per task with founder value, repeatability, hours and the rule that produced the decision.
SOPs with a quality bar and an escalation rule. A role brief written as outcomes. A paid test assignment with a rubric.
Every number on this site shows the factors behind it. We would rather be checkable than impressive.
Buy Back Your Week is early. Rather than borrow social proof we do not have yet, everything above is produced live by the same engine that runs the product — try the tools and judge the output directly.
Five to seven minutes. Fourteen questions, branching on your answers, no call, no email required until you want the full written report.
It is a modeled estimate from your own inputs, using published recovery factors and a readiness discount based on your documentation and delegation maturity. We show every assumption in the report. It is not a guaranteed saving.
No. The diagnosis comes first and often points at elimination or automation rather than hiring. The audit tells you which of the four decisions fits each task.
The audit is the diagnosis and it is free. The OS is the system built from it: task inventory, delegation matrix, role brief, test assignment, SOP pack, onboarding plan, metrics, escalation rules and a 30-day plan.
No. AI is the execution layer at the end, not the entry point. We start one level earlier: finding out what should be delegated, automated or eliminated at all.
Your answers are stored to produce your report and your workspace. Nothing is sold or shared. You can request export or deletion at any time.
Five minutes. A number, a bottleneck, and a decision for every task in your week.
