One 45-minute call with the Codehawks team, then your plan within 48 hours: 3 to 7 fixes for order queries, listings, stock and returns admin, 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.
“Where’s my order?”, “Has it shipped?”, “Do you deliver to Ireland?”. The answers already sit in your tracking data and your shipping page. Someone still finds them, types them and sends them, one email at a time, whilst the abandoned baskets go unchased.
A price change means editing the website, then Amazon, then eBay, one login at a time. New products need titles, descriptions and photos reworked for every channel. Across a full catalogue, keeping listings in step becomes someone’s job.
The website says three left, the marketplace says none, the spreadsheet disagrees with both. Reconciling channels by hand, logging returns and re-listing sellable stock is slow work that leads to overselling between checks, and a supplier still needs chasing.
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 | “Where’s my order?” and “has it shipped?” make up around a third of the inbox. Two people share the replies between other jobs. It runs to about an hour a day, more after a busy weekend. |
|---|---|
| The fix | The carrier’s tracking data answers the question before it gets asked: a tracking link in the confirmation email and an order-status page on the site, with only the exceptions reaching a person. Connected to the shop with Zapier. No code is needed, and setup takes about a day. |
| Indicative cost | From £25 a month. |
| Hours back | About 5 a week across the team. |
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
No. AgentChecker looks at your website. The assessment looks at your week.
AgentChecker
Can AI agents buy from your shop? An automated scan, from the outside, done in about a minute.
The assessment
Where does your business lose hours? A person analysing how you work, from the inside, over about a week.
If the scan found checkout problems, fix them. A perfect storefront still won’t answer the order queries, update the listings or reconcile the stock. That’s what the assessment is for.
Yes. Fixes are chosen for the stack you have. Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay and the main couriers all connect to off-the-shelf tools, and that’s exactly what most prescriptions are built on.
We never prescribe a re-platform. If a fix would only work by changing your shop, it doesn’t go in your plan.
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:
