THE WORKFLOW DIAGNOSTIC
A Tinework diagnostic investigates how an operation actually runs. Within a fixed scope, Tinework follows the work, identifies what already works, and traces where systems or decisions cause delay, errors, rework, and exceptions. The result is a current-state map, a baseline, and a ranked recommendation: change policy, training, configuration, software—or nothing.
THE PATH
What happens now?
Walk the work with the people who do it. Establish the systems, decisions, exceptions, delays, and baseline.
What should change?
Choose what policy, people, software, and AI should each own. Compare no-build and off-the-shelf options.
Does the foundation work?
Set the data, permissions, and rules-based steps before adding AI.
Did the change help?
Run one small test against real cases, a baseline, and clear stop conditions.
Can the team operate it?
Train by role, name the cutover and fallback, and retire any path that would create competing records.
Did the work move?
Watch use, failures, exceptions, and outcomes. Continue, revise, or retire the system from evidence.
THE FIRST PURCHASE
The recommendation names the likely value, cost, risk, evidence gaps, and owner of the next step. Keeping the current system is a valid result.
A current-state workflow confirmed by the people who do the work.
A system and data inventory with owners and access boundaries.
A baseline for time, volume, delay, errors, and exception load.
A ranked recommendation with alternatives, costs, risks, and evidence gaps.
FOUR RULES
Name the system, purpose, people, fields, and time limit.
Tinework and AI may propose. The client approves policy and production use.
Name who owns the process, code, vendors, support, recovery, and budget.
Set the baseline, measures, exceptions, stop conditions, and rollback path first.
AFTER YOU CONTACT TINEWORK
The Tinework team checks the recurring job, owner, available examples, and decision deadline.
You define the decision, people, systems, constraints, and information boundary.
You receive a fixed scope with outputs, timing, price, exclusions, and a stop right.

The fit check takes a few minutes. A direct no is a valid result.
