Turn an SME problem into a small automation pilot

Research onlySME operationsReviewed 2026-11-04
Start from a stated owner problem, measure the baseline, and pilot one repetitive process on non-sensitive data.
Research only: you can read and learn from this dossier, but the workspace doesn’t support executing it yet.

Problem and buyer

Small businesses rebuild the same weekly report by hand from their own data, losing hours and making errors.

Who pays: Owner or operations lead of an SME with one narrow, repetitive reporting process.

The offer

Problem description, baseline measurement and a one-process pilot on authorised, non-sensitive data.

  • Problem statement and baseline
  • Pilot on a test file
  • Time and accuracy comparison

How the model works

Problem-first innovation calls that lead to a proposal and a pilot.

Today’s alternatives: Spreadsheet macros, an existing BI tool, a freelancer.

Fit for your market

Why it might fail
