*Average completion time based on typical user responses.
Unbottleneck.io asks you the same focused questions a senior adviser would ask, then delivers a clear diagnosis and action plan, so you know what to fix, in what order, before you spend money or bring anyone in. Launch price $99/mo (regular $249). No credit card for the 14-day trial.
Built on 20 years of real-world problem-solving experience, not a generic AI wrapper.
14-day free trial. No credit card required.
No day rates · No 6-week discovery · No dependency
Unbottleneck.io is built on the approach of Atif Perwiz, a practitioner with 20+ years of diagnosing why operations get stuck and what to do about it. His question sequence, decision rules and scoring rubric are the engine behind every diagnosis.

This is an expensive problem. Unbottleneck.io is the affordable solution.
Three paths to fix a broken routine. Only one keeps the discovery, and the money, inside your business.
Traditional consultancy
- A consultant learns your business on your payroll
- Weeks of walkthroughs before any recommendation
- More people brought in, you become dependent
- A long report you rarely open again
Unbottleneck.io Done For You
- A 20+ year practitioner's brain on demand
- You run the discovery, you own the answers
- Plain-English root cause + the 2 to 3 fixes that matter
- Re-run any time as the routine changes
Unbottleneck.io + targeted help
- You've already done the discovery
- Bring in help only for the narrow scope
- Pay for execution, not for them to find the problem
- No open-ended engagement, no dependency
Even a few days of outside help can cost more than a full year of Unbottleneck.io. Do the discovery yourself first, then decide where (and if) you need outside support.
You're here because…
The problem isn't that you don't care. It's that nobody has given you a way to see the whole thing clearly, and decide, with evidence, what to fix first.
- Something in your business is slow, expensive, or unreliable, and you can't put your finger on why.
- You've written it down, mapped it, or talked about it, and it still doesn't change.
- Every meeting ends with the same shrug: 'we know it's broken, we just don't know where to start.'
- You've been quoted thousands for a discovery phase that will tell you things you already half-suspect.
- You don't have weeks to walk through your process, you need an answer this month, not next quarter.
- You're the one who has to explain 'what we are actually going to do about it', and you need a defensible answer, not a hunch.
If two or more of those sound like you, Unbottleneck.io was built for your kind of business.
How it works, and what outside help would charge for the same steps
Four steps from "something feels off" to a fix you can start today. Same discovery an adviser would run, done in an afternoon, not a quarter.
- 1
Name the routine
Tell it which workflow feels off, sales, stock, invoicing, onboarding, scheduling, whatever it is.
Advisers: a scoping workshop and a proposal.
- 2
Walk through your process with me
A 20+ year practitioner's brain asks focused questions. You answer in plain language. ~60 minutes.
Advisers: weeks of stakeholder walkthroughs.
- 3
Get your diagnosis
A clear root cause, not a symptom list, with the 2 to 3 fixes ranked by impact vs. effort.
Advisers: a long report weeks in.
- 4
Act, in-house or with targeted help
Fix it yourself, or hand the narrow scope to a specialist. Either way, you keep the discovery.
Advisers: more people, longer engagement, more invoices.
Seven practical outputs, not another mapping tool
Every completed diagnosis gives you six clear outputs you can act on, share with your team, or hand to a specialist.
A proven problem-solving method · taught to the machine
Plain-English action summary
One page explaining what the routine does, where it is slowing you down, what it is costing you, and what to do next.
Your routine, step by step
A clear map of stages, who does what, handoffs, waits and bottlenecks, so you can see where time and money leak out.
Diagnostic scorecard
Your routine scored 1 to 5 across speed, quality, customer experience, waste, risk, data, ownership and how easy it is to improve.
Evidence-backed findings
A prioritised list of pain points with the evidence behind each, the likely cause, the effect on your business, and how confident we are.
Every improvement, ranked
Typically six to ten fixes worth making, scored on impact, effort, cost and severity, ranked so the top priorities come first.
Evidence pack you can show the bank
One click puts every idea in one document: what to do, why, in what order, the figures used and the assumptions behind them, all traceable to what you told us.
Your 30/60/90-day plan
A practical action plan with owners, target dates, success measures and next steps, export it and start making the changes this week.
You leave knowing the one thing behind the delays, not ten things to maybe look at.
You know exactly what to do this week, and what can wait.
No 40-page deck. Short, clear output you can share with your team or adviser.
Run it again next quarter and see what actually got better.
Every AI-generated finding is labelled a hypothesis until you confirm it, so nothing gets called a root cause you haven't validated yourself.
A 20-year practitioner's brain, on demand
Unbottleneck.io was built and taught by a working problem-solving practitioner, the question sequence, the scoring rubric and the pattern library all come from real engagements, not a generic model guessing what "improvement" sounds like.
Real-world pattern library
The system recognises recurring small-business bottlenecks, stock-outs, quoting delays, appointment gaps, handoff confusion, and asks the follow-ups that matter.
Benefit-vs-effort ranking
Improvements are scored by how much time or money they save you versus how hard they are to implement.
Hypothesis-led, not opinion-led
Every finding is labelled as a hypothesis with evidence. You confirm it before treating it as fact.
AI gives you an answer, Unbottleneck.io gives you a diagnosis + implementation plan based on 20+ years' experience of a real practitioner.
One plan. Everything you need to find the three fixes that matter.
A rapid, credible diagnosis, seven practical outputs, not another mapping tool. Try it free for 14 days. No credit card. Cancel any time.
"I charge $2,000+ a day plus expenses to do this in person. Or you can have it done-for-you at the founding-customer price of $99/month."

What small business owners are saying
Questions small business owners actually ask
Who is this for?
Small business owners, shop owners, tradespeople, professional practices, clinic managers, café owners, team leads, anyone who owns a routine and wants to find the fixes worth making, ranked, without a big consulting bill.
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
A traditional adviser charges $500, $2,000+ per day and spends weeks on discovery before telling you anything you didn't already suspect. Unbottleneck.io asks you the same diagnostic questions a senior practitioner would ask, right now, and hands you seven practical outputs: an action summary, a routine map, a diagnostic scorecard, evidence-backed findings, typically six to ten improvements scored and ranked, top priorities first, an evidence pack, and a 30/60/90-day plan. $99/month launch price, $249/month after the launch window.
Isn't this just a generic AI chatbot with a nice wrapper?
No. Unbottleneck.io is built on a specific practitioner's methodology, 20 years of real engagements distilled into the question sequence, the scoring rubric, the pattern library and the way findings are weighted and ranked. A generic model won't ask the right follow-ups, won't push back when your answer is vague, won't score every improvement on impact, effort, cost and severity in a defensible way, and won't produce the seven outputs, including an evidence pack, in a form you can act on. This is a practitioner's brain, taught to a machine, not a machine pretending to be a practitioner.
What if I still need help after this?
Great, hire someone for the narrow scope you've already identified. Because you've done the discovery, they can go straight to execution instead of billing you for weeks of walkthroughs.
How long does one session take?
About 60 minutes for a focused answer. You can pause and come back, your session is saved.
What happens after the 14-day free trial?
If you like it, you keep going at $99/month (founding-customer launch price; regular $249/month). Sign up during the launch and your $99/month rate is locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. Prices in your local currency are shown at today's FX rate for reference; the actual charge goes through in USD. If you don't want to continue, cancel from your account before the trial ends, we don't ask for a card up front.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. One click from your account page. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
What do you do with the details I share about my business?
Your sessions are private to you. We don't sell your data, we don't share it with third parties for marketing, and we don't use it to train public AI models. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
What isn't included yet?
We've deliberately kept the product focused. Full BPMN modelling, formal FMEA, control charts and capability studies, comprehensive future-state maps, large RACI matrices, detailed financial models, system integrations, SSO, a large training academy and one-to-one calls are all on the roadmap but not in the MVP. If you need those today, the diagnosis will still tell you exactly where to point a specialist.
How much AI usage is included?
Five brand-new AI-generated diagnoses per month. Once a process is started, AI edits, follow-up questions, report regeneration and re-analysis are unlimited, they don't count against the monthly diagnosis allowance. If you need more than five new diagnoses in a month, one-off top-up packs are available.
Stop guessing what's wrong. Start fixing it.
Get a clear diagnosis of your bottleneck in about 60 minutes, for less than the cost of a coffee run. Fix it in-house, or hire help for the narrow scope you've already found.
