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.

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
20 minutes
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.
-
2
7 days
Workflow audit
We map the current process, put a cost on it, and name the smallest automation worth building.
-
3
About 30 days
Implementation
We connect your systems, build the workflow, test it against real edge cases, document it, and train the people who use it.
-
4
As needed
Ongoing improvement
We watch what we built, tune it with real usage, and take on the next workflow only once the first one works.
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
- If you go on to implementation
- Credited in full
- If we can’t find at least $25,000 in credible annual value
- Fee refunded
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.
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.
What keeps getting chased in your business?
Bring the messy version. In 20 minutes, we will tell you whether there is an automation worth investigating.
