The low-risk first step

One workflow.
Two weeks.
$2,500 flat.

Nobody should take a five-figure leap of faith with people they just met. Hand us the single job that is bleeding your week. We build it in 2 weeks for a fixed price, and if it does not save the hours we agreed on, you do not pay.

For businesses that already have customers. The whole $2,500 comes off a larger build if you carry on.

01How it works

Three steps. No theatre.

The pilot exists to take the risk off you. You see exactly how we work before you ever commit to a real build.

  1. STEP 01

    Pick the one job

    The thing your team does by hand every week that everyone hates. Quoting, chasing invoices, typing the same job into two systems, rebuilding the schedule every Monday. We pick the one with the biggest payback, not the one that demos best.

  2. STEP 02

    We build it in 2 weeks

    Not a mockup, not a slide deck. A working tool your team uses on real jobs. Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprise invoice at the end.

  3. STEP 03

    It saves the hours, or you do not pay

    You run it for 30 days. If it does not save the time we agreed on up front, you owe nothing and you keep what we built. If it does, we talk about what to fix next.

02The guarantee

If it does not save the hours we agreed on, you do not pay.

Before we build, we write down the hours the tool should save. You run it for 30 days. Hit the number and you pay the $2,500. Miss it and you owe nothing, and you keep what we built either way. We carry that risk because the scoping conversation happens before anyone signs, and we turn down pilots we do not think will clear the bar.

03What a pilot looks like

Pick the task that is bleeding the most.

Four shapes of workflow that fit inside a pilot. Yours might be none of these, which is rather the point. We build the one that is costing you.

01

Service reminders that book themselves

A shop knows roughly when every regular is due. Knowing was never the problem. The system watches the interval, texts the customer, offers the open slots, and books the one they pick. The owner stops phoning people between jobs.

02

Quoting that takes minutes, not hours

Type a few lines, get a clean quote priced off your real rates and price book. Stop losing jobs because the estimate went out two days late.

03

Invoices that chase themselves

Aging invoices send their own reminders with a payment link attached. The collection calls drop off. The cash shows up sooner.

04

Kill the double data entry

The job your office manager types into two systems every day becomes one entry that flows everywhere it needs to go.

Whether a pilot fits your business

A good fit if

  • You have customers and revenue today, and one repetitive job that eats real hours every week
  • You would rather see something working than sit through a pitch
  • You want proof we are worth it before committing real money

Probably not yet if

  • You need a full platform built from day one (start with a teardown instead)
  • The pain is spread across ten small things rather than concentrated in one
  • The business is pre-revenue and the software is the product
  • You are shopping purely on the lowest hourly rate

Not sure? Start with a free teardown and we will tell you straight.

04Before you send money

Two weeks and a couple of grand is a cheap way to find out whether a software firm is any good. Twenty thousand and four months is not.
Why we run pilots at all
05Common questions

The pilot, answered plainly.

What is a pilot build?
One workflow, built into a working tool your team uses on real work, delivered in 2 weeks for a flat $2,500 CAD. Not a prototype and not a slide deck. It exists so a business can find out what Bluestone is like to work with before committing to a full build.
What does the guarantee actually cover?
Before any work starts, both sides agree in writing on the hours the tool should save. You run it for 30 days. If it does not hit that number you owe nothing and you keep what was built. If it does, you pay the $2,500.
Do we own what you build in a pilot?
Yes. The source code, the data, and the IP are yours. There is no subscription attached to it and no licence to keep paying for. It is a tool you own, the same as any other piece of equipment in the business.
What happens if we want a bigger build afterwards?
The entire $2,500 comes off the price of the larger build. The pilot is not an upsell step, it is a deposit against work you have already seen the quality of.
Who is a pilot build for?
Established businesses with customers and revenue today. Trades, clinics, shops, service companies, small multi-location operators. It works best when there is one obvious repetitive task eating real hours every week rather than ten small annoyances spread across the business.
How is this different from buying more software?
A subscription is rent. You pay every month, forever, for a tool built to fit thousands of businesses and therefore not yours. A pilot is a small piece of custom software built to fit how you actually work, and you own it outright when it is done.
