The 30-Day Operations Reset
Your three worst workflows, off the spreadsheet in 30 days.
Working software your team logs into, with the source code yours on day 30. Not a prototype.
You see a wireframe of your own operation before you pay anything.
Twenty minutes. We tell you on the call if this is not the right answer.
One price, everywhere
$5,000
Held until 31 December 2026, then it rises. The date is fixed so you can plan around it.
5 working modules, 3 of them custom to you
Deployed into your systems, source code yours
Nothing deploys until the signed checklist passes
50% at kickoff, 50% on your written acceptance of the working demo. Nothing before that.
Before you commit to anything
Off the spreadsheet in 30 days, without stopping your line.
Even if the last developer you hired left you with nothing.
Twelve questions, about two minutes, and a straight answer on whether your setup is bad enough to justify custom software yet. If it is holding up fine, the scorecard says so and tells you not to bother.
Take the Spreadsheet Tax ScorecardThere is no call and no pitch. Your score appears on screen as soon as you finish.
The Spreadsheet Tax
Nobody sends you an invoice for this. You pay it anyway.
It comes out of hours rather than cash, which is why it survives budget season every year.
One wrong cell, and the sheet the whole floor depends on is quietly wrong all day.
The WhatsApp group takes two hundred messages a day, and none of it is findable by Thursday.
I know this spreadsheet is going to break someday. I just hope it is not today.
My business runs on me. If I take a week off, things fall apart by Wednesday.
You hired experienced people and then handed them tools that make them do clerical work.
Your operation is not an edge case. It is the case, and software should have caught up to it by now.
Six months from now the sheet holds more data, and the one person who understands it is a job offer away.
We have been in your server room
You are not behind. You are just past what a spreadsheet can carry.
Spreadsheets are how almost every operation starts, and they work for longer than anyone expects. The break arrives as one wrong cell on a Tuesday, or the realisation that one person has become the only route to an answer. We build the boring, load-bearing software that takes that weight off the people carrying it.
Since 2021
Building operational software
The same senior team, shipping under our WebXLR8 practice. BuildXLR8 is the offer built on top of that, and it is new.
Around 100
Clients served
We can say we worked with them, not what the result was, because we did not measure it well enough to claim it.
Three
Products we run, not just build
Opvello is live in three verticals with a paying customer in each. We hold the uptime, which is different exposure to shipping and walking away.
Two
Builds in delivery at a time
Five senior people, hard capped at two. That is arithmetic behind the No-Deprioritisation Guarantee, not a promise about intent.
On the other side
One screen, one version of the truth
A new hire is useful on day three
The senior person can take a week off
You can finally see where it leaks
Some of the companies we have built for.
Already built
What we built, and what it replaced.
Professional services. UAE.
The honest part
We will not tell you we made them forty percent more efficient, because we did not measure it. We will tell you what we built and what it replaced.
Accountify, a BuildXLR8 product
Accountify: corporate tax filing for UAE accounting firms
A multi-tenant platform for UAE accounting firms to run corporate tax engagements, from client records and trial balance mapping to review and submission.
What we built
- Firm dashboard
- Clients
- Engagements
- Step by step filing
The plan
Three steps, and the first two are free.
You find out whether this is right for you, and what it would look like, before you are asked for anything.
Book a 20-minute fit call
We work out whether custom software is even the right answer. If it is not, we say so on the call and point you somewhere more useful.
See it before you buy it
A wireframe of your operation running clean, plus the acceptance checklist in your words. Both yours to keep even if you walk away here.
Your team logs into working software
Live in your own cloud and repository, with the source code and the training. The spreadsheet is retired.
Step one costs you twenty minutes and nothing else.
What you actually get
Eight things, and the first two arrive before you pay.
Values are what each part costs bought from us on its own. We will walk you through any of them on the call.
The Operations Map
$1,800
Free, yours to keep either wayA wireframe of your operation running clean, from one 20-minute call. Yours to keep even if you never hire us.
The signed acceptance checklist
$700
Free, yours to keep either wayEvery line the software has to pass, in your words, signed by both sides before a dollar moves.
Three custom workflow modules
$9,000
Your three highest-friction workflows, built as software your team uses on the floor.
The access layer
$2,200
Accounts and role-based permissions, so nobody sees or deletes what they should not.
Deployed into your systems on day 30
$1,200
Your cloud, your repository, full source and IP. No licence, no seat fees.
The handover pack
$1,400
Documentation, written procedures and screen-by-screen videos, so a new hire runs the board on day three.
30 days of hypercare
$1,500
A senior engineer from go-live, not a support inbox. Week two is when software breaks.
The parallel-run promise
Included
Your spreadsheet keeps running the whole 30 days. About four hours of your time, total.
You pay
$5,000
Held until 31 December 2026. 50% at kickoff, 50% on your written acceptance of the working demo. Nothing before that.
Our promise to you
The four things people say before they say yes.
"We got burned by a developer before."
You see the wireframe and sign the checklist before any money moves.
"What if it does not work either?"
Then we keep building at our own cost until the signed checklist passes.
"It will eat my team for six weeks."
About four hours of your time. Your spreadsheet keeps running the whole 30 days.
"We will be locked into your platform."
The code lands in your cloud and your repository on day 30. No licence, no seat fees.
The Signed Checklist Guarantee
Nothing deploys until every item on the checklist we both signed passes.
There is no cash refund, and here is why rather than fine print. A cheque leaves you thirty days older and still on the spreadsheet. You want the thing to work, so the guarantee is that we finish it.
- Written and signed before any money moves
- If it does not pass, we keep building at our own cost until it does
The On-Time Terms
10% off per week late past a two-week grace, capped at 50%.
A date nobody pays for is a date nobody keeps. This one costs us if we miss it.
- Triggers only when the slip is ours, not when the scope or your inputs move the date.
- Credited against the fee, capped at 50%.
Both of these are contract terms, not marketing copy. Ask to read them on the call.
Proof
No testimonials here yet, and here is why.
Nobody has finished one yet. You would be among the first, and a stock photo with a made-up quote would be the fastest way to lose you. So here is what we can put behind it instead: systems we have already built, and terms we will sign.

The staff console behind GE Christian Matrimony's apps: member verification, photo moderation, support tickets, safety reports and subscription plans in one place.
- Region: India
- Platforms: Web console for staff; Android and iOS apps for members

A bilingual online store for Al Qabool Foods, the Dubai company behind The Farm Bell and Healthy Wings, selling dates, honey and gourmet food across the UAE.
- Region: UAE
- Platforms: Online store for desktop, tablet and mobile

FAQ
What people ask before they commit.
Anything not on this list? Book the call and we will work through it together.
I hired a developer before and got burned. Why is this different?
You see the thing before you pay for it. After one call we build a wireframe of your operation and write the acceptance checklist together, both free and both yours to keep. The balance is only due once the working demo is accepted.
Why $5,000? I can get a freelancer for half that.
A freelancer at half the price needs several builds running at once to make rent, and yours becomes the one that slips. We run two at a time, the founders are accountable on every one, and if the checklist does not pass we keep building at our own cost.
Can you really build this in 30 days?
Five modules, not an entire platform, and two of them are standard. Thirty days works because the scope is tight and locked in writing before we start. If what you need is bigger, we say so on the call.
Who owns the code?
You do, outright. It lands in your cloud and your repository on day 30 with full source and IP, documentation and training. No licence, no seat fee, no platform to be locked into.
What happens after the 30 days?
The first 30 days of live use are covered, with a senior engineer rather than a support inbox. After that you can carry on into BuildXLR8, move onto the Assurance care plan, or run it yourself.
