Pick one deliverable your team makes every week. In three weeks you’ll know what it costs to make, what you make on it, and how to raise your margin.

15+ years agency-side, every seat from delivery to MD.
The hours come from what people remember, and the price comes from what you charged last time. Nobody can say what a single deliverable costs to make, so nobody can say what it earns.
Timesheets and process maps both run on what people remember. The Cost Check captures the work as it happens.

A number for this deliverable
Hours by step and by role, in dollars, using your team’s pay rates. Plus the steps that take the longest and the ones your SOPs leave out.
The margin at the price you charge today.
Three changes, ranked by how much margin each one adds.
Timeglass runs for two weeks on the people who make the deliverable. Your team works the way it always does. Then I turn what it captured into hours and dollars for every step.
It works best on something you make at least five times in two weeks, like a blog post or a monthly client report.
In 30 minutes we pick the deliverable, name the people who make it, and approve the apps Timeglass can see.
Your team works as usual while Timeglass captures the steps in the background.
Every step mapped with its cost, your margin, and three ways to raise it. We go through it together.
It only captures the apps your team approves.
One click pauses it for a call or the rest of the day.
You can edit or delete anything before it’s shared.
Results show steps and roles, never people.
It doesn’t matter if you work at 1 AM or 1 PM.
Timeglass never shares it or uses it to train AI.
Timeglass is SOC 2 Type II certified.
Something your team makes at least five times in two weeks, so there are enough runs to see the pattern. A blog post, a monthly client report or an ad account review all work.
Thirty minutes for the kickoff, your team’s pay rates so I can put dollars on each step, and the price you charge for the deliverable.
A few minutes to set up Timeglass and a quick look at their own entries before they’re shared. Otherwise they work the way they always do.
You keep the numbers and the plan. If you want to redesign the service with me, the full $3,000 comes off that price within 90 days.
$3,000flat
Timeglass seats are included. The full $3,000 comes off the price if we go on to redesign the service together within 90 days.
