Clear by Five

Put a price on the busywork.

Clear by Five finds the manual work costing home-service companies time and margin, then builds AI-assisted automations inside the software you already run. Calls get answered, quotes get followed up, and the office can be clear by five.

What the manual version costs you each year

Example figures. Type over them with yours. Nothing leaves this page.

Item Workflow Your figures Per year
1 Leads that wait Calls and web forms nobody answers within the hour. leads a week wait more than an hour. % of them book with someone else, at $ a job. $16,000
2 Estimates that go quiet Quotes that depend on someone remembering to follow up. estimates a month get no follow-up. If follow-up closes % of them, at $ a job. $27,000
3 Office time spent chasing Re-entering, checking, and passing information between systems. hours a week, at $ an hour. $21,000
Yearly cost, by your numbers $64,000

Figured on 50 working weeks. Lines 1 and 2 count booked revenue, not profit.

That clears the $25,000 in annual value our audit guarantee is built on.

Send these numbers with a scan request

Good people shouldn’t be the integration layer.

If your team spends the day copying, checking, and chasing information between systems, the workflow is asking for a better one. You have probably heard all four of these this week.

  • Slow lead response

    Calls, forms, and texts land in different places, and the job goes to whoever answers first.

    “Did anyone call back the form that came in Saturday?”

  • Dispatch handoffs

    CSRs and dispatchers spend hours moving context between phones, inboxes, technicians, and customers.

    “Can you text me the gate code again?”

  • Quotes that go quiet

    Follow-up depends on someone remembering, instead of a system that knows what should happen next.

    “Did we ever hear back on the Miller estimate?”

  • Reporting by spreadsheet

    Leaders wait on hand-assembled numbers instead of seeing what changed, where, and why.

    “I’ll have last month’s numbers by Thursday.”

One workflow at a time, starting with the most expensive.

Each step earns the next one. Nothing gets built until the audit shows it is worth building.

  1. 1

    Opportunity scan

    A focused call about where work stalls, repeats, or depends on one person’s memory. We decide together whether anything is worth auditing.

    20 minutes
  2. 2

    Workflow audit

    We map the current process, put a cost on it, and name the smallest automation worth building.

    7 days
  3. 3

    Implementation

    We connect your systems, build the workflow, test it against real edge cases, document it, and train the people who use it.

    About 30 days
  4. 4

    Ongoing improvement

    We watch what we built, tune it with real usage, and take on the next workflow only once the first one works.

    As needed

The 7-day workflow audit

A business case before a build. Before you fund an automation project, you will know what should change, why it matters, and what a sensible implementation looks like.

What you get

  • A map of the workflow as it runs today
  • Time, revenue, and risk analysis
  • Automation opportunities, in priority order
  • A 30-day implementation plan
Audit fee $2,500 Founding-partner price
If you go on to implementation
Credited in full
If we can’t find at least $25,000 in credible annual value
Fee refunded
Ask about the audit

Works with what you already run.

No rip-and-replace. We connect the systems already carrying the business, so your team keeps the tools they know and loses the copying between them.

Check what you use and it goes into your email.

You work directly with the person building the system.

Clear by Five is founder-led from diagnosis through delivery. Every engagement starts with how your shop actually runs, not a tool picked in advance, and stays close to the people who will use what gets built.
