The mcdynamic Method

Five stages. Repeatable. Yours to learn or hire.

We use the same five-stage process on every engagement. We also teach it in the monthly class — verbatim, with a real working example. No proprietary moat; the point is for you to know if you want to run it yourself.

The five stages

Map

Inventory the work that eats your week. Phone calls you keep making twice. Reports you copy-paste every Friday. The 5 PM “did anyone send that yet?” question. Honest list, no judgment. This is a conversation, not a survey.

What you get:

  • Workflow inventory worksheet
  • 30-minute conversation with you + 1-2 key team members
  • Pattern recognition: where is your time actually going?

Pick

Choose the two or three workflows that are actually worth automating right now. Some work shouldn’t be automated — we’ll tell you which. We sort by payback (time saved × frequency) and risk (what happens if it breaks).

What you get:

  • Prioritized shortlist with rationale
  • Honest ‘don’t automate this’ calls
  • Sequencing: cheapest, fastest payoff goes first

Build

With tools you already pay for. We don’t rip-and-replace your CRM, your accounting, or the spreadsheet your manager uses. We connect what’s there, fill the gaps with focused new pieces, and document every step.

What you get:

  • Integration map across your existing tools
  • Workflow built in n8n / Make / Zapier (whichever fits)
  • Documentation a non-engineer can actually read

Run

Thirty days live, with us watching. Real workflows meet real exceptions; we calibrate. You see exactly where it works and where the edges are — before we hand off.

What you get:

  • Daily monitoring for the first 7 days
  • Weekly tune for the rest of the month
  • Edge-case log so you know what’s been seen

Tune

Monthly check-ins so the workflows don’t rot. Tools update. Teams shift. Businesses grow. Automation that doesn’t get tuned eventually breaks; this is the discipline that keeps it alive.

What you get:

  • 30-min monthly review of every running workflow
  • Optional: ongoing Managed engagement
  • Optional: bring it in-house once your team is ready

The Method is the same in our monthly classes — you can see the whole thing run on a real example before deciding whether to do it yourself or hire us. RSVP for the next class.
