Three ways in.Pick the one that matches this week.
A product that's stuck? Find out what's wrong before paying to fix it.
Nothing built yet? Decide what V1 has to prove, then build that.
A workflow run by hand? Get one off your team's plate.
Prices are stated before any call. A paid step comes first only where buying the work blind would be a mistake.
Find out what's actually wrong.Before paying to fix it.
Stalled, fragile, inherited, or just not trusted anymore. Before another sprint or a rebuild, the Product Rescue Assessment finds out — from the product's own evidence, not a guess — what deserves to stay, what needs fixing, and what should go.
What you get
A Rescue Brief, in five business days
What to keep, fix and replace, and what to fund first. Yours whether or not you hire us for the work that follows.

Four free questions — rescue or rebuild?Fast Track USA
Josh Nyce, owner and founder, describes roughly two years with a previous team without a reliable launch. Zumetrix took the project over and shipped it in three weeks — by his account, on video and in a separately worded Trustpilot review corroborated on Google. One client's experience, not a typical timeline.

Right now
A wrong diagnosis costs a conversation.
Nothing has been built on the guess yet — changing course here costs nothing but time.
Next fix
A wrong diagnosis costs a sprint.
Work goes into patching a symptom. If it was the wrong one, that work doesn't transfer.
Next rebuild
A wrong diagnosis costs a rebuild.
The biggest bet, made on the same unverified read of what's actually wrong.
This is for you if
- A real product already exists — stalled, breaking, inherited, or just not trusted anymore
- You can share access or evidence if accepted (we never ask for credentials up front)
- You want an outside, evidence-based read before spending on another attempt
Not for you if
- Nothing's been built yet — that's a build decision, not a rescue. Start with the build door below
- You already know exactly what's wrong and just need it fixed — tell us, and we'll scope the work directly
Decide what the first version has to prove.Then build that.
Every build here starts with a written V1 decision — what ships, what waits, and why — before any code. For most founders that is week one of the build. If you want the decision on its own first, before committing to a team, that's the Idea-to-Build Sprint.
The engagement
A first version built to prove the second deserves to exist
Accounts, payments, the core flow and the admin it needs — scoped in writing in week one, shipped by the people who scoped it, with the founders close throughout.

Knipsr
A product built from the ground up and taken to a launch-ready SaaS — durable background processing, retries, media streaming, and a stress test against real event-day failure modes before launch. The founder's own words are on Trustpilot; identity withheld at their request.

Right now
A wrong guess costs a conversation.
The V1 boundary is still just a decision — changing your mind here costs nothing but time.
Mid-build
A wrong guess costs sprints.
Code exists for the wrong version. Undoing it means rewriting, not reprioritizing.
After launch
A wrong guess costs trust.
Early users formed an opinion of the wrong product. That's harder to walk back than code.
This is for you if
- You have a real idea, mockups or research — and nothing shipped yet
- You'd rather argue about scope now than pay for the wrong version later
- You want to see the V1 decision in writing before any code exists
Not for you if
- Something's already built and the problem is what's wrong with it — that's the door above
- You want a slide deck or a prototype rather than working software
Get one workflow off your team's plate.Built, live, watched.
The process works because people remember what to do — that's the problem. We map the manual steps, build the one that hurts most, and leave it running with alerts and a handoff. Then we decide together whether there's a second.
The engagement
One bounded workflow, built and live
Make, n8n, Zapier or code — whichever the workflow deserves — with failures flagged to a person instead of disappearing, and a handoff document your team can actually use.
Spans several teams or systems?
Manual-to-System Sprint · $750 · a plan before any tool
Floating Stone Ranch
A beef processor's carcass intake, boxing and shipping ran on spreadsheets and paper. We centralized it into one Airtable-backed system and automated the status transitions that used to be tracked by hand — and eight months later the client is still working with us.
See the case studyWhy Now
This week
One person quietly absorbs it.
It feels manageable — a few extra minutes per handoff, easy to not notice.
This quarter
It becomes "how we do things."
New hires learn the workaround as normal, not as a problem worth fixing.
Next hire
You hire to cover the workflow.
Not because the business grew — because a person is now load-bearing infrastructure.
This is for you if
- A real, recurring workflow runs today — carried by people, not a system
- You can name the step that hurts most
- You're open to some of it staying human — that's a legitimate outcome, not a failure
Not for you if
- Nothing's running manually yet — there's no workflow to automate
- You want a tool recommendation rather than a running system
Most engagements start with a call and a vague scope. Ours start with a price and a written decision.
The Usual Way
A discovery call, then a scope that firms up (or doesn't) once work has already started.
Zumetrix
A starting price on every service page and a fixed price on every assessment — before any call.
The Usual Way
The exploration happens on your dime, inside the build — figuring out what's needed while you're already paying to build it.
Zumetrix
The decision is made first and written down — in week one of a build, or on its own if you'd rather see it before committing.
The Usual Way
If it doesn't work out, you've paid for partial work and still don't have clarity.
Zumetrix
Whatever was written — brief, plan or V1 decision — is yours, usable with us or with anyone else.
None of these sound exactly right?
Don't pick a door just to pick one.
Say what's happening. We'll tell you which of these fits — or that you shouldn't buy anything from us yet.
