Find out what's leaking — before you spend a cent building anything.
A fixed-scope, fixed-price diagnostic that maps your key processes, flags the highest-cost leaks, and puts a number on what fixing each one is worth.
Book your auditNot a sales call. A standalone product.
This is a 2–3 week fixed-scope engagement. It produces a real, standalone diagnostic deliverable whether or not you ever engage Helix Lab to build the solution.
The Risk Reversal
If we run the audit and find nothing significant, you've bought peace of mind. If we map a leak and you decide to build the fix internally, you keep the architecture. You only hire us for the Build phase if the math makes sense.

Straight Answers.
What if you find nothing?
Then your operations are remarkably tight. The audit fee acts as cheap insurance proving your current setup is optimal. We will never invent a problem just to sell you a software build.
Do we have to build the fix with you?
No. The Leaky Bucket Audit is a standalone product. You own the deliverables.
What does this cost?
Every solution is custom priced based on the specific needs and size of the department we are auditing. During our initial 30-minute scoping call, we will assess your exact requirements and current problems. Once we have designed the solution and finalised on it with you, we will provide a locked in, fixed price proposal. You get complete financial clarity upfront and no hourly billing and no surprise invoices. Beyond the initial rollout, we continue to maintain and optimize your system through a dedicated Service Level Agreement (SLA).
How much time will our team need to give you?
We respect your momentum. We typically require a 1-hour kickoff, followed by 30-to-45-minute isolated interviews with 2 to 3 key process owners. We do the heavy lifting in the background.
