Business outcome
Define what must improve, why it matters, and how the organization will recognize a useful result.
SERPH BLUEPRINT / FIXED ASSESSMENT
A clear software decision before you build.
Turn one costly or confusing operational problem into a grounded decision: build, buy, integrate, automate, improve the process, or do not build yet.
01 / WHAT IT ISDiagnosis before
Diagnosis before
development.
Blueprint is a focused business and software assessment. It is not an open-ended transformation program, a free proposal, or a promise that custom software is always the answer.
One problem · One accountable owner · One practical recommendationCurrent workflow
Map the steps, handoffs, exceptions, delays, and recurring work around the selected problem.
People and ownership
Identify the people who do the work, make decisions, own the result, and will need to adopt a change.
Systems and data
Review the relevant software, spreadsheets, integrations, information, and access constraints.
Solution options
Compare building, buying, integrating, automating, changing the process, or waiting until prerequisites are ready.
Implementation reality
Outline a practical first release, dependencies, risks, success measures, expected timeline, and cost.
02 / TEN BUSINESS DAYSFrom messy problem
From messy problem
to a decision.
The process stays intentionally small so the assessment can move quickly without pretending to solve the entire organization at once.
Understand
A kickoff workshop, up to three stakeholder conversations, and a review of the directly relevant tools and documents.
Diagnose
A current-state map that separates the visible symptoms from the workflow, information, and ownership problems underneath.
Decide
A comparison of viable options with a clear recommendation—including a no-build recommendation when software is not justified.
Plan
A prioritized implementation roadmap, initial architecture, assumptions, success measures, and fixed estimate for the first build stage.
03 / WHAT YOU RECEIVEA plan you can
A plan you can
actually use.
The result is designed to support a real investment decision—not produce a pile of generic recommendations.

One service.
One clear price.
Software implementation is priced separately. Blueprint stands on its own whether Serph builds the recommendation or not.
SERPH BLUEPRINT
$2,500
Fixed price · 10 business days
The fixed scope covers:
Start a Blueprint - One primary problem or connected workflow
- Up to three stakeholder conversations
- Remote workshops and document review
- Directly relevant tools, data, and constraints
- One recommendation and one revision round
GOOD FIT
Bring a real operational problem.
- The same work repeatedly creates delays, errors, or manual effort.
- A person inside the business owns the outcome.
- The team can explain or demonstrate how work happens today.
- Leadership wants evidence before committing to a software build.
NOT A FIT
Not every request needs Blueprint.
- You only need developers added to an existing delivery team.
- The requirements and implementation plan are already validated.
- No one internally owns the business result.
- The request is primarily for a marketing or brochure website.
05 / COMMON QUESTIONSClear before
Clear before
we start.
Why is Blueprint paid?
Blueprint is a defined consulting deliverable, not a sales proposal. The work is intended to be useful even if you do not hire Serph to implement the recommendation.
What fits inside the fixed price?
The fixed engagement covers one primary operational problem or connected workflow, up to three stakeholder conversations, remote workshops, directly relevant systems and documents, one recommendation, and one revision round.
What makes a Blueprint custom?
A custom scope is appropriate when the assessment spans multiple departments, locations, unrelated workflows, regulated data, complex legacy systems, extensive integrations, or a large stakeholder group.
Is software development included?
No. Blueprint covers assessment and planning. Any software build, integration, automation, migration, or ongoing support is proposed separately.
Can another company use the Blueprint?
Yes. You receive the completed materials and may use them internally or share them with another implementation partner.
What if the recommendation is not to build?
That is a valid result. The recommendation may be to improve the process, configure an existing product, resolve a data or ownership issue first, or wait until the investment is justified.
