The alternative
This used to be a consulting project.
A typical process audit costs $15,000–$40,000, takes weeks, and describes how work was happening — not how it is happening now.

Vantic's Friction Score: One number, Four Dimensions
The Friction Score (0–100) summarises how work fragments across tools, how many applications a workflow touches, context-switching delay, and when sessions run longer than baseline.

From install to insight
Install and scope
Download the macOS app and grant a single Accessibility permission. No configuration, no integrations, no workflow mapping. Done in under a minute.
Detect structure and flow
Timing, sequences, and handoffs become a structural model of how work moves—workflow signals only, not screen content.
Rank time leaks
Prioritised friction, cost signals, and ranked next actions: one-off Diagnostic or continuous reporting.
From permission to ranked output
What runs on the device between install and the score you act on.
Permission granted
OS-level workflow signals enabled (no file access).
Workflow signals captured
Focus, timing, and transitions—structure only.
Local pattern engine
On-device analysis detects repeat switching patterns.
Friction Score + findings
Ranked fixes with estimated time cost and context.
