Pick a process
The one your team always asks you about, or the one that stops when you're away. Client onboarding, quoting, month-end, approvals: anything you repeat.

One question
Before I automate anything for a client, I ask one question.
Most owners answer it confidently. Most get it wrong. It has nothing to do with which AI tool you use, and everything to do with where your business keeps what it knows.
I'll tell you the question further down. First, the problem it exposes.
The problem
You are the process for half of what happens in your business.
You didn't plan it that way. At the start you were the only one there, so you learnt every step, every exception and every client's little quirks by doing them yourself. Years later, the business still runs through you.
- Your team asks the same questions every week, because the answers live in your head.
- Explaining a task takes longer than doing it, so you keep doing it.
- You've opened a blank SOP template, stared at it, and gone back to your inbox.
- Your AI tools give polite, generic answers, because they know nothing about how your business works.
- Pricing calls, approvals and "just check with me first" all wait until you have a minute. You rarely have a minute.
Try the honest test. If you switched your phone off for five days, what would stop first?
Keeping it in your head has a price, and you pay it twice. Once every day, in hours you spend answering instead of leading. And once more on the day you sell, hand over or step back, when buyers call it key-person risk and price it in.
Why the usual fixes stall
Templates hand you a blank page. Software hands you a monthly bill for one.
Most owners have tried something. A downloaded SOP template. A process software subscription, paid every month. A freelancer who wanted to start building automations on day one.
They stall for the same reason. Every one of them assumes you already know what to write down. You don't, and that isn't a flaw. The most valuable parts of your process are the ones you do without thinking: the judgement calls, the exceptions, the "if it's this client, I do it differently." People who say "I just know" rarely know what they know until someone asks them the right way.
So the X-Ray lets you explain it the way you already do: out loud, in your own words, or by answering questions.
How it works
The Process Automation X-Ray: every process, out of your head and onto the page.
Explain it your way
Pick whichever comes easiest:
- Answer the guided Q&A. The most thorough route. It asks the specific, expert questions I ask in every client diagnostic, so the details that matter come out.
- Type it out the way you'd explain it to a new starter.
- Say it out loud. The fastest route. Dictate it by voice and our AI agent maps it for you.
Get your score and your document
Your process comes back documented step by step and scored out of 18 for automation readiness. You'll see which steps are ready for AI now, which need a human, and what's missing before anything can be automated.
Whichever you choose, it draws out the parts templates never ask for: the exceptions, the workarounds, who decides, and what happens when it goes wrong. The Q&A takes about 15 minutes, and voice is usually more than three times faster. You can do it yourself or hand it to the person who runs the process.
Now, the question I ask every client
Could someone who has never met you run this process tomorrow, using only what's written down?
If the answer is no, no AI tool can run it either. Automation fails when the tools arrive before the knowledge has been written down. The X-Ray gets each process to yes, one at a time.
Who built it
I built the X-Ray from the questions I ask in every client diagnostic.
I spent twenty years in commercial law and governance across South Africa, the UK and Mauritius, where a process that isn't written down properly is a liability, not an inconvenience. My NLP Practitioner training is the other half. NLP began as a way to model how experts think and make their skill teachable, and that is exactly what the X-Ray does with your process.
I hold Microsoft and Anthropic AI credentials and sit on boards as a Non-Executive Director, so I see this from both sides of the table: the owner who holds the knowledge, and the board or buyer who asks what happens if that owner isn't there. I tested all of it on my own businesses first.
What changes
What you walk away with, and what it changes on Monday.
- A documented process. Your team follows the page instead of interrupting you.
- An automation-readiness score out of 18. You know whether to automate now, fix first, or leave it with a person, before you spend a cent on tools.
- A step-by-step map of what AI can take. Any automation builder, whether that's me, your team or someone else, starts from how your business works instead of guessing.
- Knowledge the business owns. One less thing that walks out the door when someone leaves, gets sick or goes on holiday.
- Your Key-Person Dependency score from the Founder X-Ray, so you can see how much of the business depends on you, in a number you can track.
Proof
A team of 6 does the work of 21. Revenue up 37%.
A licensed corporate services firm in Africa started exactly here: one process at a time, captured and scored. Over 90 days we added a Founder X-Ray and further Process X-Rays, then automated the core processes. The IP is now documented for a future exit, with no disruption and no key-person concentration risk.
It's the same method behind DAINTY itself. One founder runs marketing, copywriting, tenders and client delivery for a full consultancy, because the knowledge came out of my head first.
As featured in Investor's Mag Mauritius, FinWise Exchange, La Sentinelle, the Legal Unicorns and Strategy To Screen podcasts, and on stage at the Digital Divas Summit 2026.
Results from one client engagement over 90 days. What you see will depend on your business and what you do with your reports.
The offer
Everything included for USD 99.
The tool
The Process Automation X-Ray
Reusable on every process in your business. Each one is captured step by step, scored out of 18 for automation readiness, and gets its own report and the document you need to automate it.
Bonus
The Founder X-Ray
A separate guided interview for you, the owner. It maps what only you know (the pricing logic, the client history, the reasons behind every exception) and scores your Key-Person Dependency out of 18, with its own report.
Included
A clear verdict on where to start
Every process report places your score in a tier, from low-hanging fruit to complex, so you know whether it's a quick first win or one to build properly. No guesswork, and no sales call required.
Put that next to the alternatives. Process software bills you every month and still hands you a blank page to fill in yourself. A buyer's key-person discount costs a great deal more.
USD 99. Once.
No subscription, no hourly bill, nothing to cancel. Everything you create is yours to keep, whether you automate with me, with someone else, or not at all.
Timing
I won't put a countdown timer on this page.
There's no fake deadline here. The only clock is the one you already know about: the next time you're off sick, the next new hire who takes three months to be useful, the next time someone asks what the business is worth without you in it.
Every week a process stays in your head, you pay for it in hours. Starting costs USD 99 and about 15 minutes.

Questions
What owners ask before they start
Which process should I pick?
The one your team asks you about most, or the one that stops when you're away. If you're unsure, start with client onboarding. It touches everyone.
How is this different from the free AI Readiness Check?
The Readiness Check scores your whole business in three minutes and shows where it's most exposed. The X-Ray goes deep on each process, one at a time, and gives you the document you need to automate it.
Do I need to be technical?
No. You answer questions, type it out, or simply talk, in plain language. The scoring and structure happen for you.
I hate writing things down. Will this work for me?
Yes. Dictate it by voice and our AI agent maps it for you. Most people can explain a process far faster than they could ever write it, which makes voice the quickest way in.
Which option should I choose?
Short on time? Talk it through by voice. Want the most complete document? Take the guided Q&A: it asks the specific questions I ask in a client diagnostic, so nothing important is left in your head. Either way, you get your process documented and scored.
Does this build the automation for me?
No. The X-Ray gives you the documented process and the readiness score that any automation build needs first. From there you have two roads. Build it yourself with Your AI Team in 30 Days, my self-paced programme that takes you from your first prompt to a team of agents on your own IP (the waitlist is open now). Or have me build it for you as a fixed-fee piece of work, paid per phase upfront. If you're unsure which fits, email me for 1:1 time and we'll work it out.
Can I X-Ray more than one process?
Yes, as many as you like. The tool is yours to reuse on every process in your business, and each one gets its own report. Most owners start with the one that hurts most.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Your answers are used only to build your report, are never shared, and you can ask me to delete them at any time. The details are in my privacy notice.
Can a team member do it instead of me?
Yes, and for many processes they should: the person who runs it knows the workarounds. The Founder X-Ray is the one that needs you.
Start with one process
The process your team asks you about most is the one to start with.
P.S. If you only read this line: for USD 99 you get every process out of your head, one at a time, documented and scored out of 18 for automation, plus the Founder X-Ray scoring how much your business depends on you. Explain it by Q&A in about 15 minutes, or faster by voice. No subscription, nothing to cancel, and everything you create is yours. The process your team asks you about most is the one to start with.
