5-day fix sprint

Turn one law-firm ops leak into a working handoff.

The diagnostic identifies the costly manual handoff. The sprint fixes one or two concrete intake, follow-up, matter setup, document, or reporting workflows using the tools already in place.

Sprint price

$1,500-$3,000

Scoped after the free teardown or paid diagnostic. No confidential client facts, privileged material, payment data, credentials, or private case details are needed for the first teardown.

Before / after

The sprint makes one workflow visible, owned, and auditable.

Lead intake

New inquiries sit in inboxes, voicemail, or forms without a visible owner

Every new lead has an owner, status, next action, and follow-up clock

Stale leads

No-show or no-answer prospects depend on memory

No-shows and stale leads move through a defined follow-up path

Consults

Consultation outcomes do not reliably become matter setup tasks

Consult outcomes create the next matter, document, or close-lost step

Documents

Staff route documents and messages through ad hoc emails or chats

Document/message handoffs have a queue, owner, and exception rule

Partner visibility

Partners ask for manual updates because stuck work is invisible

Stuck leads, matters, and handoffs are visible in one weekly view

Timeline

Five days, one measurable fix.

View sample diagnostic

Day 1

Map one workflow

Review one non-confidential workflow from inquiry, consult, matter setup, document handoff, or partner reporting.

Day 2

Define the owner rules

Set the statuses, owner, follow-up timing, exception path, and no-confidential-data implementation boundary.

Day 3

Configure the fix

Update forms, intake fields, CRM views, saved searches, templates, checklists, or simple automations where access is available.

Day 4

Test the edge cases

Run no-show, stale lead, consult outcome, missing document, and stuck matter scenarios against the new flow.

Day 5

Handoff and monitor

Deliver the runbook, rollback note, staff checklist, and 30-day metric for partner review.

Deliverables

What the firm gets.

The sprint is narrow by design. It should reduce one expensive manual handoff without requiring a platform migration or exposing confidential client material.

Already see the leak? Scope the sprint.

If the leak looks real, the next step is either the $300-$500 diagnostic or the $1,500-$3,000 sprint. If the leak is too small or too sensitive, the answer should be no.
