How it works

Map the work. Then we run the system.

Before we automate anything, we map the work.

Seven steps

From Opportunity Map to a system that stays running.

  1. 01Opportunity Map

    We map the repetitive work, find where time and money slip, and give each task one verdict: keep, turn on, connect, build or replace.

  2. 02Implement

    We connect, build or configure the systems you chose around your rules and supported tools.

  3. 03Shadow

    The system runs on real work while its output is held for review. Nothing consequential reaches a customer.

  4. 04Approve

    You review what it did and approve the categories that may run.

  5. 05Live

    Approved categories go live where it is safe. Everything else stays in review.

  6. 06Managed

    Failed steps retry with backoff, then are held for review. Stuck work is restarted. You get Weekly Results.

  7. 07Improve

    Rules and templates are tuned as your work changes. New systems are added when they earn it.

Before we start

A 30-minute intake, then a compatibility check.

Intake is a 30-minute call run by our closer.

  • Ready to connect

    Known path. Proceed.

  • Custom build, confirmed at intake

    Custom path likely. Proceed and flag technical scope.

  • Talk to us first

    Blocker, missing tier or admin, or no viable path. Talk to us first.

We collect your tool, plan tier, admin access, the read and write actions you need and the workflow you want. Shadow and draft first. Customer-facing automation starts only after technical support is confirmed and you explicitly approve it.

Shadow, approve, hand off

See it work before it reaches a customer.

Every system starts in shadow mode. Messages are drafts you approve and send yourself.

Shadow launch

Sample
  • Approved draft

    Follow-up on a quiet estimate

    Approved
  • Would update

    Lead stage in your CRM

    Shadow
  • Would flag

    Payment dispute, for a person

    Shadow

Approved. Your team sends it. The flag still goes to a person.

Beyond the library

What stays true

You stay in control.

  • Connect, build or replace

    We pick the simplest reliable fix for each task, and say so when the answer is to leave it alone.

  • Native first

    If your software already does it, we show you where to turn it on.

  • Human review

    Anything outside the written rules is held for a person to decide.

  • Owner controls

    You approve what may run, and you can pause your systems at any time.

  • Activity history

    Every action is logged with what ran and when.

  • Your data stays yours

    Your tools stay the source of truth. When you leave, we help export what the service produced.

  • Supported tools

    We work with a supported list and confirm compatibility before any build. We never promise every tool.

  • Maintenance

    Templates, rules and supported connections are kept working as your work changes.

Who it helps

Questions

How long until my systems are running?

Typical implementation is 7 to 14 days after the compatibility review. No fixed date is promised for every possible integration, so the timeline is confirmed at review.

What is shadow mode?

The first stretch where your system runs but nothing consequential reaches a customer. You see drafts and results and approve what looks right. Customer sending is not enabled today, so a person on your team sends.

Do I need to change the software I use?

No. NigelBuilds works around the tools you already have, under access you grant and can revoke. Compatibility is checked before implementation starts.

What if my software already does it?

Then the Opportunity Map marks the task Turn on and shows you where the setting lives. Nothing is sold for it.
