One 45-minute call with the Codehawks team, then your plan within 48 hours: 3 to 7 fixes for reporting, proposals and the amends loop, each with a named tool, its monthly cost and the hours it saves per week.
If we can’t find at least 5 hours a week, we refund the full fee.
Satisfaction guaranteed. From the team behind agentchecker.ai.
The problem
The time goes in short tasks that repeat every day: retyping information, chasing replies, writing up notes, filing documents.The assessment finds these tasks in your business and puts a fix, a cost and an hours figure against each one.
GA4 in one tab, Google Ads in another, three social dashboards behind them. Someone exports it all, pastes charts into a deck and writes the same commentary structure for every client. That is two days gone, none of it billable, and the reports still land in week two.
Someone hunts old decks for the right case study, retypes the rate card and rewrites the same three service descriptions. Each pitch takes about a day, built from scratch every time. When the pitch is lost, the day goes with it.
“Can you just tweak the headline?” turns into round three of amends, an extra format for stories and one more quick change by email. Nobody tracks it, so nobody bills it, and you only see it at month end when the margin isn’t there.
How it works
The whole process takes about a week. Your time in it: two calls and a review, about two hours in total.
01
A short video call. We check the assessment fits your business, you check we know what we’re talking about. If it’s not for you, we say so on the call.
when: day 1 · free
02
The Codehawks team walks through how your business actually runs. Who does what, which tasks repeat, where the hours go. No preparation needed beyond knowing your own week.
when: day 2 to 3 · 45 minutes
03
We analyse the call and build your plan: 3 to 7 fixes, each with a named tool, its monthly cost, the setup effort and the hours saved per week. Written to be implemented in 3 to 4 days.
when: 48 hours after the call
04
We walk through the plan together, agree the recoverable hours and answer questions. On Plus, we then set up your top 2 fixes with you and stay on email for 30 days.
when: about day 7 · 30 minutes
The deliverable
Every fix names the tool, its monthly cost and the hours it saves per week.
If you later want anything built, the plan doubles as the spec, so there is no second discovery stage and no second scoping fee.
Sample prescription
| The pain | Monthly reports for eight retained clients are stitched by hand from GA4, Google Ads and social exports. Two account managers share the job and lose about four days a month between them, and the reports still land in week two. |
|---|---|
| The fix | A reporting tool pulls GA4, Ads and social into one live dashboard per client, on your template, with a scheduled monthly PDF. Commentary is drafted from the numbers, then edited rather than written. About a day to set up all eight clients. |
| Indicative cost | Free with Looker Studio; from about £50 a month for a white-label tool. |
| Hours back | About 6 a week across the pair, and reports go out in week one. |
This is the format you receive, shown with a made-up example. The pains, tools and numbers in your plan come from your own assessment.
Pricing
Both tiers include the same assessment, plan and guarantee. Plus adds hands-on setup help.

Not sure which? Book the discovery call first. It’s free, and we’ll tell you which fits.
If our assessment can’t identify at least 5 hours a week of recoverable time in your business, we’ll refund the full fee. There is no claim form and no negotiation.
For scale: 5 hours a week at a blended staff cost of £25 to £35 an hour is roughly £6,500 to £9,000 a year.
Recoverable time is agreed with you in the review meeting, based on your own estimates of task frequency and duration.
FAQ
From the operations wrapped around the client work: the monthly reports stitched from GA4, Ads and social exports, the proposal built from scratch for every pitch, the WIP updates and status calls, the amends nobody logs, the same piece of content reworked by hand for five channels.
None of that is billable, all of it takes delivery time, and clients feel the slow turnaround too. Agencies sell time, so every hour recovered there is margin straight back, or capacity you can bill.
No. AgentChecker looks at your website. The assessment looks at your week.
AgentChecker
Can AI agents buy from a site? An automated scan, from the outside, done in about a minute.
The assessment
Where does your agency lose hours? A person analysing how you work, from the inside, over about a week.
If you already resell AgentChecker audits, the assessment does for your own operations what the audit does for your clients’ sites.
We also deliver assessments white label, for agencies that want to sell them to their own clients. Details at codehawks.co.uk/ai-readiness-white-label.
A chat window helps the person typing into it. It doesn’t move data between your systems, chase your invoices or file your documents. Most of the recoverable hours sit in the repeating work between your tools, and that’s where the assessment looks.
Where ChatGPT already covers a task well, we’ll say so and move on. You won’t get a plan that prescribes what you already have.
Yes. Every fix is chosen for the team you have. Most are off-the-shelf tools with ready-made connections between the systems you already use, set up by following steps rather than writing code.
The plan gives you the setup order and the effort involved for each fix, and on Plus we set up your top 2 fixes with you.
The assessment itself needs no customer or client data. We work from one recorded call about how your business runs: your processes, your tools, and your estimates of the time each task takes.
Everything you tell us stays confidential and is handled under UK GDPR. Where a prescribed fix would touch personal data, your plan says so and notes where that tool stores it.
Then you don’t pay. That is the 5-hour guarantee: if our assessment can’t identify at least 5 hours a week of recoverable time in your business, we’ll refund the full fee. There is no claim form and no negotiation.
We’d also rather tell you on the free discovery call that the assessment isn’t a fit than take a booking we can’t stand behind.
Most clients can. The plan is written to be implemented in 3 to 4 days with off-the-shelf tools, in a set order, starting with the quickest win.
If you’d rather have help, Plus includes hands-on setup of your top 2 fixes and 30 days of email support. And where a fix genuinely needs custom work, Codehawks builds software, from £2,500. That part is always optional. The plan works without us.
About Codehawks
The assessment is run by the Codehawks team, a UK software lab. We ship our own products, including agentchecker.ai, which tests whether AI agents can buy from your website.
Before we build anything for a client, we run this same diagnosis first. The assessment is that scoping stage, sold on its own.
We are a software company recommending software, so the plan is written to be independent of us:
