Spreadsheet Rescue

You send us the file. We read it the way a new employee would have to, find where the structure fights the work, and rebuild it as something your team can use without being told which cells not to touch. Where the file is holding a whole operation together, the honest next step is a system built around the work instead.

This is done for you. There is nothing to learn, no trial, and no software to buy. It is a flat one-time fee with no monthly attached, shown on this page and on pricing.

We move the data into a real tool. If what you have is a decent record of jobs and customers trapped in a grid, the fastest answer is usually to lift it into something built to hold it, so you get filtering, reporting and history without maintaining formulas.

We rebuild the spreadsheet itself. If the spreadsheet is the right shape and the problem is that it has grown teeth, we turn it into an operations hub: proper structure, protected formulas, entry that does not break when someone types a date wrong.

Which one you get depends on what is in the file. We tell you which we are recommending, and why, before we start.

A working file or tool, your data already in it, and a short written note on what we changed and what we could not fix. If we found something that will bite you later, a duplicated customer list, a formula that silently rounds, dates stored as text, it is in the note.

You keep everything. There is no account to hold it in and no subscription that switches it off.

Sometimes the honest answer is that the spreadsheet is fine and the problem is somewhere else. Sometimes the data is too far gone to be worth lifting and starting clean would cost you less.

If that is the verdict, we say so and refund the fee. We would rather give the money back than hand over a rebuild of something that should not have been rebuilt.

If you go on to a full North Star build later, the fee credits against it in full. There is no expiry on that.

That is the point of this being an on-ramp rather than a product. It is a cheap way to find out whether your operation needs a system, using your own data rather than a demo. If the answer is yes, you have not paid twice. See what a build costs.

It is not a subscription, and it does not come with ongoing support. One file, one rebuild, one note back.

It is not a migration of your accounting. Your books stay where they are.

It does not fix a process. If three people disagree about what a job status means, a better spreadsheet records the disagreement more neatly. That is what the free audit is for.
