See where your business is losing hours, and what it's costing you.

Seven questions. You get back a written plan: where the time goes, what it costs in dollars, and what fixing it would run, with real prices, before anyone asks you to buy anything.

The Bottleneck Finder™ A 3-minute diagnostic built on 42,000 tested situations. It produces a brief you keep, and sometimes the brief says: don't spend a dollar yet.

Sound familiar?

You already know something's slow. You just can't see where the hours go.

Waiting on one personWork stops until someone specific has time to look at it.
Follow-up that never happensLeads, renewals and invoices slip because nobody owns the reminder.

Every business over a certain size leaks time in the same few places. The expensive part isn't the leak. It's not knowing which one is yours.

Why this exists

Most money spent on AI and automation buys nothing measurable.

95%

of AI pilots produce no measurable return

42%

of companies abandoned most of the automation they started

S&P Global Market Intelligence, 2025

That's measured, not opinion. And almost none of it is a technology problem. It's buying before knowing what the real constraint is. This tool answers that question first.

Why only seven?

We ran 42,000 versions of a business problem through the same rules, across 57 industries, from a two-person crew to a hospital network. Every one landed in one of these seven. Two of them, we don't charge for: one costs nothing at all, the other you pay a vendor for, not us. That's what makes the other five worth trusting.

Why the answer doesn't change

The AI works inside guardrails we built, so every answer is built for your business.

Our rules engine decides Which kind of fix. What we'd build. What it costs.

Designed by Thanks Anderson and fixed in code before you arrived.

The AI explains it In plain English, for your industry.

It can't add a service, move a price, or turn a "don't build this" into a maybe.

Ask the same seven questions tomorrow and you get the same answer. That's the difference between a diagnostic and a sales pitch with a chatbot in front.

Managing complex builds to a deadline as a licensed builder: scope, crews, and getting it right

Drew Anderson built Thanks Anderson, Inc. on one idea: find the real constraint first, then build only what fixes it. The method comes from doing the work.

Three minutes now beats three months of guessing.

And if the honest answer is that you shouldn't spend anything yet, it will tell you that. That happens more than you'd think.
