Answers, not dashboards.
See exactly where time is disappearing across your team's workflow — ranked by cost, with a specific next step for each pattern. One Diagnostic. No subscription required.
Three core outputs
What you actually get.
01
Where your time is going and what it's costing
Within days of installation, see where work breaks up, which handoffs are stalling, and a plain-English estimate of what each issue costs in hours per week.
02
What to fix first (in order)
Findings ranked by estimated time impact. Every finding includes the workflow, the issue, and a specific next step. Not a slide deck. An action.
03
The longer it runs, the clearer it gets
The picture deepens over time — especially for growing teams and seasonal businesses. As more data comes in, it gets sharper; it doesn't go stale.
How it scores
The Friction Score.
One number (0–100) for how smoothly work moves through your business — built from four parts below. Zero content accessed.
- How often work is interrupted
- Switching apps mid-task means context is lost and rebuilt. That cost adds up fast.
- How many tools a workflow touches
- Too many tools for one job creates overlap and confusion. See where consolidation saves time.
- How much the sequence varies
- The same job done a different way each time. Variance in the order work follows is where drift hides.
- Tasks that take longer than usual for your team
- When tasks consistently overrun, the problem is built into how the work is set up — not just a busy week.
Common time leaks
Five patterns, found without asking anyone.
We don't read your files or record your screens. We measure timing, structure, and sequence — not content, not messages, not keystrokes.
01
Same job, different ways
The same work gets done five different ways depending on who's doing it. Nobody notices until a client does.
02
Too many tools for one task
Three apps open for one task. The switching goes unnoticed but the cost compounds every week.
03
One person holds the know-how
One person holds the context. When they're out, work stops. It shouldn't take a crisis to surface this.
04
The same handoff stalls
The same handoff stalls every time. Everyone knows it. Nobody has the data to fix it.
05
New hires without a playbook
New hires take months to reach full productivity. The gap isn't attitude — it's undocumented workflow.
What we don't do is as important as what we do.
One permission on install. Nothing else required.
No screen recording
There is no way in the product to capture your screen — not turned off, not gated, not on a roadmap.
No file access
Vantic IQ only sees which app is active and for how long. It never opens your files.
No integrations required
Reads app timing from the Mac — no CRM or ATS login, no API keys.
No configuration
No workflow mapping, no tagging, no explaining how your business works. It builds the picture from approved signals.
