The month-end re-key
A working week lost to a job a machine could do — and why the tax rules are turning against it.

Field research for the work worth automating.
We study one business grind at a time — count what it really costs — then build the n8n workflow that ends it. Real cited sources, plain language, no hype.
We build the automations on n8n — and study the everyday tools they plug into.

How it works
01
Study the grind
One niche, one repeated job. We cost it from real sources and publish the field report — free to read.
02
Show the machine
Every report ends in the n8n workflow that ends the job: it does the typing and the sums, then stops for a human.
03
Build it on your books
If the grind is yours, we build the same shape on your stack. You keep the judgement; the machine takes the grind.
